Abstract :
Virtually all dynamical systems, whether mechanical, electrical, chemical, economic, or social, can be improved with control technology. Most practical implementations, however, still require challenging innovations by designers to fully realize the potential of our diverse methodologies. This article reviews three recent examples of such innovations.
