Optimal control of both deterministic
and stochastic systems, as well as
adaptive and learning control of
complex systems, are thoroughly
investigated.
21st century (present)
Modern control theory is based on time-
domain analysis of systems of differential
equations.
The stability of the system depends on the
error between the real system and its model.
To avoid this situation, the control system is
designed by first defining the range of
possible errors and then designing the
controller in such a way that, if the system
error is in said range, the system gives rise to
robust control theory. which incorporates both
the frequency response approach and the time
domain approach.
The possibilities of applying the principles and
methods of control engineering are expanded.
Computing, communication, and sensors are
increasingly affordable devices, including
embedded processors, sensors, and network
hardware.
