History of Control System

The history of control systems began around 200 BC with early feedback mechanisms like float regulators. Key developments included the first automatic controller in 1769 by James Watt, mathematical modeling of control systems in the 1800s, and stability theory in the 1890s. The modern field of control systems emerged in the 1930s-1940s with the introduction of electronic feedback amplifiers, frequency domain analysis, and automatic controllers for military systems. Control systems expanded rapidly after World War II with new methods like state space, root locus, and digital control enabled by advances in computing.
