An Excellent Introduction to PID Control
Simone’s teaching is clear and intuitive, and the course delivers the concepts superbly well, both in terms of depth and pacing, without ever feeling overwhelming. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the videos and digesting the material, and I would definitely recommend this course to anyone—whether from a controls background or not—who has an interest in PID control.
Awesome Course! Highly recommended!
This is an excellent course that covers all the important concepts of PID control. I highly recommend it. Simone strikes a great balance between theory and practical examples, with a focus on simulation that is very important to understand these concepts, especially for PID tuning. Simone is very knowledgeable, and I really appreciate all the practical advice given. I found his explanation to be impeccable, clear, easy to follow, and to the point. Thank you for putting together such an awesome course!
Very good overview
Thank you for taking the time to create this course. It was very informative. Using the same example system throughout the course allows the student to focus on the PID control and was very much appreciated. A little bit more discussion of sample time versus the system’s time constant would make this even better.
Response from Simone Bertoni – Control Lab
Hi Steve, thank you very much for your feedback. I will consider how to improve the section related to sample time versus the system’s time constant.
I Truly wish I had done this course before I graduated!
Thankyou Simone for compiling this excellent course on PID control/Control system design. The practical approach and insightful discussions on the physical implication of the various controller gains was the most interesting part for me. I was able to simulate all the examples using Simulink.
Looking forward to more such useful and valuable content in the future!
PS: It would be good to add a suplementary video/lectue on the next immediate actions that can help build on this knowlege gained from the course/textbooks that will help the learner become a better pragmatic control engineer.
Hands-On PID
I found this course very helpful,
in particular, I liked the way Simone explains concepts of PID: as much as enough theory, and then give practical advices supported by simulation.
Thank you Simone!
It would be great to have this kind of course also for other type of control, for example:
– Sliding Mode
– Model Predictive
Response from Simone Bertoni – Control Lab
Thank you Giorgio for your kind feedback and for your interest in the course, great to hear that you liked it.
I’m planning a new course, I will soon send out a survey to hear from you. I will send an email to the students and a LinkedIn post so you will have your opportunity to make suggestions!

What do you need to know to make the most out of the course?
- Basic knowledge of system modelling via differential equations .
- Basic knowledge of dynamic systems description via transfer functions in the continuous domain (Laplace). For example, F(s) = 1/(s+1) is a first-order low-pass filter.
- Familiarity with block diagram environments used to design systems like Simulink, Xcos, Collimator, etc.
- Basic knowledge of Z-transforms is helpful, but not essential.
Learn the exact way I use to design and troubleshoot PID controllers!
