PID Control - A brief introduction

[@fredmtucker]

Videos like this are good examples of good people using the internet for for what it was intended for - the relaying of useful information people can use. Brian Douglas - and those like him who teach the rest of us - are simply awesome.

[@BrodaQD]

Good video and the followup video was even better. Subscribed to the guy's channel immediately.

[@garyha2650]

PID: "A proportional-integral-derivative controller is a control loop mechanism employing feedback that is widely used in industrial control systems and a variety of other applications requiring continuously modulated control." What's the simplest or most easily understood example?

Uploaded on 2013. No fancy graphics, good pace of teaching. A timeless video.

[@jordyborquez6852]

Hey Brian.. 10 years later and here I am watching your videos! 10 years ago I would have never thought I’d end up in this Industry…

[@chichi7391]

I'm an ME and took automatic controls a few years ago and your videos are great for review! Thanks for taking the time to make them!

[@Friemelkubus]

You sir, are part of what makes me glad I'm studying to be an engineer.

[@chrisw.9845]

speaking in technical terms and basic terms, your also agreat engineer

[@AdityaSUnboxings]

friemelkubus is the reason i became an engineer

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

If I'm honest my age means we didn't have this technology available when I was a lad, but I watched the video 3 times and it actually began to make sense. You're a very good teacher.

[@jasperzoey1912]

With the help of..DR RORPOPOR HERBAL ON KZbin i have been cured totally from PID....

[@davidchuong714]

This is the single best explanation of PID control I have ever come across since I was first exposed to it 4 years ago. Often times as engineers, we get math equations thrown at us, but the intuition behind that math is lacking. This video is perfect for developing an intuitive understanding of those concepts.

[@builtdifferent276]

Very cool , thank you! I've just starting electrical engineering and now I need to ask my robot to move on a straight line , which is why I need to know more about PID. Again , very good video!

[@hackerofawesomeness]

I look away for one second and Wall-E is there. The drawing is on point, the viewer doesn't have to wait for you to draw so you're always engaged, and the lecture is really good.

[@bug13wu]

best ever, if all tutors teach like this, there will be a lot of good engineers, and the world will be a lot better place

[@Fsifab]

Excellent work! I'm so glad I found your channel. I wish I had access to this 10 years ago when studying control systems in college. Your explanations have given me a whole new interest in getting back to these topics. Thanks and please keep posting you videos!

[@Eli-yu1by]

Man, this video is amazing. Succinctly said everything I was taught over 2 to 3 50-minute lectures lol.

[@baby_hands_armwrestling]

Incredible Robot Drawing M8! , great lecture to!

[@chrisw.9845]

thank you. very appreciated

[@mernaayman7784]

Seriously thank you so much Brian 🙏✌ I am studying electromechanical engineering and whenever I need to understand anything related to control I open your channel and you have all topics covered. You are a great teacher.

[@TruuuthFinder]

I studied engineering. This was the one subject I never really understood. This video would have been helpful back then! Excellent and simple!

[@aryanmishra5591]

Wow the best intuitive video there is on the PID controllers out there. Either you have an exceptional ability to simplify stuff or others don't know how to explain this simply enough. Thank you so much for this.

[@nickpizdaglava4946]

You're a "GREAT" teacher!!! Best delivery ever! Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrisw.9845]

pizz delivery is amazing. i second that

[@callmedeno]

Absolutely stunning how easy you made it to understand in such a short time! subbed

[@rafhanah92]

I just want you to know, this basic but wonderful explanation is hugely contributing to the beginning of a new and powerful inventions for the world in the future!

[@abhinavsixfaces]

Just draws wall-e casually while explaining control systems. i love these videos.

[@controllaw3665]

We love this channel and it was one of the reasons to start our own. We are a very new channel and will bring content on control theory, linear systems and systems identification. Keep inspiring people, thank you very much!

[@miguelsegura7976]

11 years ago this is outstanding , this guy can say he contributed to humanity

[@Themachinewon]

Thank God for guys like you, who are out here !

[@ecotive]

Dear Brian, I hope you and your significant ones are healthy during the current Covid outbreak. Thank you for your efforts on KZbin, I really enjoyed the content and am still following. Due to the way you explain the control theory, I wanted to ask if you may do something about the Integral Sliding Mode control structure. It will be really helpful. Thank you very much, and I wish you a great day.

[@hosseinazimimojtahedi1442]

Hi Brian, You are doing a great job, easy to explain and understand for everyone is interested in control system. I suggest beside the title on each video you make, put a series number to catch up continuously for watching. Great job, thanks.

[@aaronbornmann9835]

You a hero, saving a South African University student right here. Thank you Brian!

[@elizabethmstudios8692]

I used Brian’s tutorials for my Control Systems module at Tuks. Offered by Prof. Ian

[@mahmood964]

Great way of delivering the material via interesting and interactive way. Thanks for your efforts.

[@AlphaChaka]

I just passed, and it was due to your videos. Thank you very much. ;) You're help is going all the way to Portugal ! And I'm not the only one, I guarantee it

[@dudebot]

Thanks for the informative video! It looks like you might have forgotten to link the next video at 7:37, but google's recommended next video has your back

[@JasonBurtonWellness]

Brian, your videos are great. I'm surprised that you don't have more subscribers. I find these lectures extremely informative and easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos available. This is how we advance the human race.

[@bristedat5889]

You're genius for helping me get the slightest clue of what is going on here. thank you so much!!

[@Carnivalblue]

Brain, I am studying Biomed and Control and this is of great help! Thankyou so much!

[@acgt1000]

I love these videos. I use a thorough textbook as my primary resource, but these videos make a great supplement.

[@yuvarajn.g5915]

Excellent explanation.. you made it easy to under stand. I have completed my Electrical Engineering and your video is really useful.

[@nourghazal296]

Legend has it, he is still working on the video.

[@JoeGancher]

Yup AWESOME is the operative word here. Keep making these. You have a gift. I wish I had you for a teacher.

[@BrianBDouglas]

Hi Bassam, thanks for watching and for your comment. I will cover Nyquist plots within a month or two. I hope you continue to watch in the mean time.

[@ahmedalshalchi]

Hi Brian .... I am an old Control Systems Engineer and I am still finding all your info as just yesterday new class... Thank you Brian but what is your new after these 7 years after ???

[@socratic-programmer]

You are absolutely bloody brilliant at explaining these things. Keep it up!

[@lukaszkucharski9601]

Thank you for your time making those videos Brian!

[@Obzrve]

I was a control system technician ago year. I want to understand your channel more. Now I’m cs major I’m currently taking calculus 1.

[@VFXTutorials]

Still the best PID educational explanation

[@TaterBot1000]

Finally, a clear understanding of PID controllers! You have saved my brain and my grade. lol

[@chrisw.9845]

i wish my grades aresaved too

[@krishnachaithanyajoru3078]

you explained far better than our professor :)[really am inspired by your videos] great work sir.

[@RC_Engineering]

Great great great intro to PID. And published on my Birthday!

[@skyhacker6]

What a gift ...

[@engineered.mechanized]

what did you do this year for your birthday.

[@dunsacc]

aced my control exam- you are the best !

[@alleneanthony]

The lecture was great, but that Wall E was epic xD!

[@rijakokolehiyo]

Good day. Thank you so much for sharing your video lecture materials. Because of the covid19 pandemic, online classroom strategies is now a must. This video presentation will be of big help for me and my students. I need not start from scratch developing online Instructional Materials but rather focus on sharing to students the learning they opt to know. Thank you once again.

[@GglSux]

Thanks for an excellent video, I found it very interesting and I actually think I grasped the basic concepts. And that says quite a lot on how clear and well paced Your explanation was. Best regards.

[@Ramus6]

I have never seen a better explanation! Thanks so much!

[@surucipe]

Way better than the lectures at my university.

[@HarryBlackney]

Great video as always Brian. Keep up the good work

[@gelatinoussire7772]

Wow, that Wall-E drawing was very good.

HEYYYY JUDEEE

[@blessingmatava9848]

These videos are really helpful, simplifies my studies.

[@chrisw.9845]

i speak simplified chinese tho

[@Scolastice]

Great lecture! I have two questions concerning the paths (4:09) thought: 1. Why is it only k_p and not k_p*s on the proportional path? 2. How comes you multiply the k_i with 1/s and not f.ex. s on the integral path?

[@HrushikeshNaik1650763n73]

PaJo GaMo 1.Kp. is a linear function not a exponential function. So we do not multiply anything to it 2. Ki times integral of e^st is simply Ki * 1/s 3. Kd times derivative of e^st is simply Kd * s

[@10bokaj]

This is like 100 times better than university

[@Faysaliya]

absolutely genius. I remember watching this back in university lol. you're a lifesaver

[@riolly]

Still relevant today. Nice Job Brian. Please explain another control algorithm in the future video.

[@yihongliu7326]

Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I am looking for.

in italy too, man! ahah too much theory and few exaples! One of my profs,2 years ago,told us(poor fishermans) that chemical engineering in india and in italy is studied with more theory than in any nations in the world, should be true?! anyway great video!!!! :)

[@HrushikeshNaik1650763n73]

Rrading theory is like telling, "hey this is a dish kept here, you have to taste it and vomit in exams. But if you really like it then go on and order more of it."

You're probably just joking, but here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpekpWmeg7trjq8 It's not in the box because KZbin recently ended support for annotations, so tons of old videos are broken like this

[@JamesLee2005]

GRAND MASTER, You r my GREAT Y2B Teacher~

[@williamstaib4623]

Awesome video... got stuck for a bit on your charts though. I think your derivative plot in blue is a bit off, when the red line goes flat the derivative plot should be at zero and then go above the x axis once the red plot has positive slope.
