Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a robotic arm that swings in response to a PID controller, if the proportional gain is set too high, how might this affect movement and stability?
💡 Hint: Consider how much the arm reacts to the current error: too much can cause wild swings.
Describe how one could facilitate the tuning of a PID controller in a complex robotic system with multiple degrees of freedom.
💡 Hint: Think about how feedback can be used to enhance control dynamically.
