autodirection
Autodirection is the automatic determination and adjustment of an object's direction or orientation, typically without human input. In engineering and technology, it describes systems that estimate a direction from sensor data and then act to align actuators or beams with that direction. The concept encompasses orientation control, target tracking, and beam steering across several domains.
Core components of autodirection include sensing, estimation, and actuation. Sensing uses devices such as inertial measurement
Applications are widespread. In autonomous vehicles and drones, autodirection enables heading control and target tracking. Aircraft
Challenges include measurement noise, electromagnetic or magnetic interference, and latency between sensing and actuation. Reliability requires
