Why doesn't simpler control theory work here, like PID controllers?

Could you expand on control theory? Is it PID?

Does this lead into control system theory?

Doesn't this apply to anything with a control loop?

Yes, please give us more info about using control theory and how one might think about building such a system please..

It's plain old Control Theory, no AI needed.

Great post, any posts on control theory coming?

lordnacho • Oct 28, 2014 • View on HN

Just like with control systems.

You invented a PID controller! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller

It's called a PID controller.
