PID controller
Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controller concept:
P : Determines how aggressively the PID reacts to the current amount of error (Proportional) D : Determines how aggressively the PID reacts to the change in error (Derivative) I : Determines how aggressively the PID reacts to error over time (Integral)
Examples:
1) Tracking: input sensor is inside/outside, output plant is the left and right motor. Goal is to keep error (inside/outside state time) small. 2) Motor speed: input sensor is odometry, output plant is the motor. Goal is to keep the error (setpoint rpm - actual rpm) small.
Velocity PID
The standard form is most used for position control. If you derivate the standard form, you obtain the velocity form:
