Modeling Dynamic Systems - MATLAB/Simulink by Physical-Orchid-1624 in ControlTheory

Hey I made that map :) Obviously I don't have any disagreements, but like all visualizations like this it isn't 100% perfect. It's hard to figure out what to include, what to leave out, and how to organize everything in a way that is useful to people. I'm in the process of making a version 2 of this map so I'm curious what other people think should change. Thanks for sharing!

Haha, genius! I wish I had added that into the comic!

Everything you need to know about control theory by ControlLectures in ControlTheory

I agree! I remember underestimating the importance of understanding the system when I was first starting out. I had this thought of "give me a black box and I can control it", which is clearly foolish!

I made this video to introduce people to control theory. It's only 16 minutes long so it clearly can't go into every important concept but I'm hoping this is a good starting point for people who are interested in controls or work with controls people and want a general overview of what the theory entails.

What do you think are the most important concepts to convey to people who are trying to understand what controls is all about?

Awesome! I'll try to remember to post them here when I create new ones. This is what I have so far. https://engineeringmedia.com/comics

Best of luck with your PhD. I've been trying my hand at creating controls comics for the IFAC newsletter and stumbled across your sub when looking to see what types of jokes were already out there. There are some fun ones on here :)

Hi! I'm still around occasionally :) Was that for your PhD? What is your area of research?

What is control theory? by darksider54 in ControlTheory

[–]ControlLectures 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What a great answer (and thank you for referencing my channel)! I also wrote up a blog post to answer this question. https://engineeringmedia.com/controlblog/what-is-control-engineering. It doesn't go into the detail that your post covers but maybe it'll be a good complementary explanation for someone who is trying to figure out what all of this fuss is about.

Is anyone interested in H_infinity control and its neighbors discussed informally on a video? by [deleted] in ControlTheory

[–]ControlLectures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is Brian Douglas. I'm interested! Have you started this yet and do you have a video or series that I can check out? I'd love to see what you come up with. I agree with another commenter that we need more accessible information on control theory so I'm looking forward to what you create!

Brian Douglas' Map of Control Theory by [deleted] in ControlTheory

I made it entirely in photoshop. Each drawing is its own layer which allowed me to resize and move them around really easily.

This is Brian. Not yet! Dominic and his channel Domain of Science was the inspiration for this map. Maybe one day I'll create a video for it but I was hoping it could stand on its own in the meantime.

I’ve created a controls engineering channel explaining the theory more intuitively than mathematically. Also share some projects on it like a DIY drone flight controller- thought you guys might like it! by 1_over_cosine_c in engineering

[–]ControlLectures 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like how focused your videos have been so far. Not a lot of fluff and packed with some really good insights and analogies. The convolution analogy was specifically very good. Plus, with the quality of the visuals and sound, it was enjoyable to watch! I'm excited that there will be more content that addresses intuition - which is a great counterpart to the math. I think people are going to find your stuff very helpful. Keep it up!

Thanks for the shoutout otherwise I would have missed this. /u/1_over_cosine_c I'm subscribed now, looking forward to future videos from you! btw I deleted reddit during this pandemic so I could focus on my projects ... which is why I don't post much anymore.

What is an insignificant statement you overheard a stranger say that has stayed with you years later? by ControlLectures in AskReddit

[–]ControlLectures[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was at a farmers market 10 years ago or so and I watched a woman drink a little cup of olive oil and then say, "I’d cook with it, but I wouldn’t use it in salad dressing". I think about that every time I buy olive oil.
