Adaptive control

Adaptive control is a way of using computers to make sure machines are running smoothly. It works by comparing what the machine is doing to what it should be doing, and if it notices the machine is not doing what it should be doing, it will automatically make changes to the machine to make sure it is running properly. Adaptive control is used in all sorts of places like factories, cars, and even some video games!
