Control is a research area within engineering and applied mathematics that focuses on designing systems and algorithms to regulate and manipulate the behavior of dynamic systems. These systems can range from physical devices like robots and aircraft, to biological systems like cells and organisms. Control systems typically involve sensors to measure the system's state, actuators to adjust the system's behavior, and algorithms to compute the necessary control actions. The goal of control research is to ensure that the system operates as desired, despite uncertainties and disturbances. Applications of control research can be found in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and healthcare.
