ep1 - A brief prehistory of control theory

This episode breaks the ice with a bit of the pre-history of control theory. We discuss three iconic ancestors of the science of feedback, including water clocks developed by Ktesibios, the earliest known thermostat, and governors, a class of mechanical devices, which, without exaggeration, have enabled the first industrial Revolution in Britain. Outline 00:00 -Intro 01:32 - Ktesibios 06:15 - Cornelis Drebble 11:55 - Governors Episode links O. Mayr - The origins of feedback control K. Kelly - Ou...
