stjórntækni
Stjórntækni is an Icelandic term that translates to "control technology" or "control engineering." It broadly encompasses the scientific and engineering principles related to designing and implementing systems that manage the behavior of other systems. These systems can range from simple mechanical devices to complex industrial processes and even living organisms.
The core of stjórntækni involves understanding how a system operates and then developing mechanisms, algorithms, or
Applications of stjórntækni are ubiquitous. In industry, it's essential for automation in manufacturing, process control in
The study of stjórntækni draws upon principles from mathematics, physics, and computer science. Key sub-disciplines include
