  • Feedback control

    Feedback control is the control systems principle in which a robot measures its actual output and continuously corrects its commands to reduce the error.

  • LQR

    LQR, the linear-quadratic regulator, is an optimal state-feedback controller that balances state error against control effort using a quadratic cost.

  • Model predictive control

    Model predictive control is a robot control method that repeatedly optimizes future actions over a short horizon using a dynamic model and constraints.

  • Open-loop control

    Open-loop control drives a robot actuator with commands computed in advance from a model, without measuring the output to correct errors during motion.

  • PID

    PID is a feedback control law that adds proportional, integral and derivative actions on the error to drive a robot joint, wheel or rotor to its…

  • ROS 2

    ROS 2 is an open-source robotics middleware and toolset whose ros2_control framework connects controllers such as PID loops to real robot hardware.
