Mathematical Feedback Control (PID)

Unlike linear heuristic guesswork, dynamic robotic actuators require precise error formulation: u(t) = Kp·e(t) + Ki·∫e(t)dt + Kd·(de/dt). Proportional gain drives the primary recovery force, Integral gain eliminates steady-state gravitational droop, and Derivative gain acts as virtual dynamic damping to quell overshoot.

Kalman Sensor Filtering

Physical joint encoders suffer from high-frequency structural vibration and electrical noise. A 1D Discrete Kalman Filter dynamically estimates the true angular state by recursively combining a physical motion model prediction with noisy Gaussian measurements, isolating target trajectory signals from environmental disturbance.
