This lecture covers the concept of proportional control, where the system input is set to be proportional to the error. The instructor explains the impact of the design choice Kp on the system behavior, using examples like motor control and block diagrams. The lecture delves into the intuition behind proportional control, the behavior of first-order systems, and the response of a motor under proportional control. It also discusses how to choose the appropriate Kp for a system, considering factors like stability, transient response, and steady-state offset.
