Open-Loop Control Systems | Understanding Control Systems, Part 1

Explore open-loop control systems by walking through some introductory examples. Learn how open-loop systems are found in every day appliances like toasters or showers, and discover how they can be tuned by trial-and-error to achieve a desired output.

The first example shows how open-loop control is used to toast bread to the desired color. The second example outlines how open-loop control can help regulate water temperature in a shower. In these open-loop systems, you will explore the input and output to the system, and learn how to find the required input for a desired output by performing experiments.
Also, explore situations where open-loop control may fail due to unexpected environmental changes or variations in the system. In the next video, you will learn how you can handle the shortcomings of open-loop control by using feedback control.
