Abstract

The possibility of automatic control was known and used even in ancient times, see e.g. (Bennet 1979). James Watt improved the already existing, but prone to exploding steam engine by using a prototype of an automatic control system. This chapter discusses recent history and conceptual importance of automatic control, analog computers and robotics.
