'control system' in this case is not implying remote control, it's referring to the feedback system that adjust the actuators in response to the sensed information. If the motion is controlled automatically, then the control loop can in principle anticipate the motion in a way that it could not if it was remote controlled: i.e. the opposite, it's easier to control the motions (in terms of maintaining balance and avoiding overstressing the actuators) if the operator is not live puppeteering it.
- dwattttt 1y agoApologies, yes, "control system" is somewhat niche jargon. "Balance system" is probably more appropriate.
- dboreham 1y agoWell "control system" is a proper term understood by anyone with a decent STEM education since 150 years ago.
- dwattttt 1y agoTo be fair, lots of fields have a notion of a "control" system. Control Theory doesn't have a monopoly on the term, for all that the field revolves around 'control systems'.
- tekla 1y ago> "control system" is somewhat niche jargon Oh my god. What the hell is happening to STEM education? Control systems engineering is standard parlance. This is what Com Sci people are like?
