A lo largo de la historia, el ser humano se ha empeñado en construir dispositivos que le hagan más cómodo su día a día. Además, siempre ha estado interesado en que éstos lleven a cabo la tarea por sí mismos, sin necesidad de una supervisión continua. En nuestros días, muchos dispositivos llevan a cabo tareas como por arte de magia; pareciera que piensan o que adivinan nuestros deseos, que nunca se pueden equivocar o que su precisión y velocidad no puede ser superada. Los sistemas de control son una parte crucial de este funcionamiento.

Control ¿Dónde estás?
Existen muchos sistemas a nuestro alrededor que hacen tareas por sí mismos: regular la cantidad de agua presente en los tinacos de nuestra casa, la temperatura de la misma en un calentador, los modernos sistemas de conducción autónoma de los más recientes modelos de vehículos, etc. ¿Te has preguntado cómo funcionan? En este módulo, veremos una sencilla aproximación al control automático, la medición y realimentación de señales y aprenderemos a identificarlos como parte de sistemas de nuestra vida diaria, incluso, en tecnologías de vanguardia.
¿Cómo llegamos a esto?
En este módulo, viajaremos en un recorrido histórico por diversas partes del mundo, entre ellas, la antigua China, Grecia, Egipto y la Europa del Renacimiento, en el cual observaremos artefactos o herramientas donde se aplicaron principios de control automático de manera intuitiva. Después se mostrarán algunos ejemplos donde estos principios son usados y desarrollados de manera formal. Esto ha sido parte de una historia que quizás para ti ha permanecido invisible.
¡A moverse! La dinámica de las cosas
Las señales asociadas a los sistemas a controlar varían con el tiempo, y ese mismo cambio se considera y aprovecha en el diseño de los sistemas de control. Ahora, veremos cómo podemos conocer y predecir el comportamiento de un sistema mediante modelos, de forma que no sea necesario construirlos o desarmarlos para saber cómo funcionan.
