Control Algorithm Development

Control algorithm development involves designing and creating the set of rules, calculations, or logic that determines how a control system should respond to inputs, disturbances, and feedback in order to achieve desired outcomes. Whether it's a simple proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller or a more complex model-based predictive control (MPC) strategy, control algorithm development plays a crucial role in achieving stability, accuracy, and efficiency in various applications.

Here are the key steps involved in control algorithm development:
