Show hintHide hint
Think about how the output changes with the distance from the target.
Question 2.
What is the role of Integral control?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens when an error continues over time.
3Question 3.
What does the 'I' in PID stand for?
- Inescapable

4Question 4.
True or False: Derivative control always increases system responsiveness.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider whether stability might also reduce responsiveness in some systems.
Question 5.
You are designing a PID controller for a drone maintaining altitude. How would you set up each component to ensure stability and accuracy?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how each component affects sudden altitude changes.
Question 6.
Analyze the effects of excessive Proportional gain in a PID controller. What might occur, and how would you address it?
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the robot's behavior when correcting its position.
