DESCRIPTION:From cruise control to self balancing quadcopters\
 , PID controllers harness negative feedback loops 
 to provide the brains between a device’s sensors a
 nd its outputs.\n\nBut how do they work? Why do we
  need each of the components? After introducing co
 ntrol systems and their objectives\, this talk dem
 onstrates how the PID control system achieves a re
 sponsive\, stable system in so many applications. 
 Ending with a live simulation\, it aims to present
  the intuition behind the reasons why an abstract 
 algorithm which is defined using only the calculus
  operators is so successful in applied contexts.
