A control system manages other devices by using control loops to regulate their behavior. It contains a plant representing the process being controlled, sensors that monitor the plant's state, actuators that move the plant based on sensor readings, and a controller that decides how to adjust the actuators based on the difference between the plant's current state and its desired state.

Control System - manages, commands, directs or regulates the behavior of other
devices or systems using control loops.
Elements of a Control System Plant - the process you want to control, i.e., drive to the desired state. Sensor - Eye of the control. – Enables the control to see what is going on. – Reports on the state of the process Actuator – Moves the process from current state to the desired state. – If the sensor is the eye, then the actuator is the muscle. Controller – Takes the sensor information and decides how to actuate the plant to achieve the desired state.
