This lecture introduces the concept of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control, the most common form of controller used in various devices worldwide. The instructor explains the basic intuition behind PID, the roles of the P, I, and D terms, and how to choose the three constants to design the controller effectively. Different methods for selecting these constants are discussed, along with the limitations of PID control. The lecture also includes practical exercises to understand the functioning of PID control.
