ποΈNew episode! Our new inControl Guide toβ¦ dives into the Nyquist stability criterion: a theorem that decides the fate of a feedback system by watching a curve encircle a point.πOne of the most beautiful ideas in control where stability, topology, and complex analysis meet. π

When did optimal control begin? From a bead sliding down a wire in 1696 to neural networks playing Go. From the brachistochrone to Lagrange, Hamilton, Pontryagin... and yes, AlphaGo! The episode covers 300 years of optimal control, from Enlightenment puzzles to AI milestones π

ποΈ New episode! Jeff Shamma (@UofIllinois) on gain scheduling, robustness, and why the waterbed effect never really goes away. From PhD years to game theory and multi-agent learning... and the one piece of advice from both control and jiu-jitsu: βDonβt get tired.β Unmissable!

ποΈ New episode! What is feedback, really? We go back to its prehistory, revisit Blackβs negative-feedback amplifier, and trace the idea through biology, strategy, behaviour, and even our assumptions about causality.

ποΈ New episode! We travel back to 19th-century Russia to meet A. M. Lyapunov, the mathematician who gave science the language of stability. Through a life marked by devotion and tragedy, his 1892 thesis still shapes how we understand dynamics, uncertainty, and control today.

ποΈ New episode! @DellaSantinaC takes us inside soft robotics β a young, daring field where compliance replaces rigidity, intelligence emerges from shape, and underactuation is a feature, not a flaw. A rare front-row seat to a discipline with more questions than answers. ππ§
