This lecture introduces Proportional Derivative (PD) Control, where the input is proportional to the derivative of the error, allowing faster reaction to disturbances. It explains the interpretation of PD Control, feedback on future error estimates, and the implementation of derivative action in circuits. The lecture covers digital approximations, stability, transient response, robustness, and the complexity of tuning PD controllers.
