Is "Automatic control" a synonym to " Control theory"? I'd say so, which means this page maybe should simply redirect to Control theory.
If there really is a difference then I'd guess "Automatic control" is more applied/practical, while "Control theory" is more theoretical/general. Working a lot with theorems and formal matemathics would be Control theory, while building/programming a controller would be Autmatic control.
What's your opinion? I searched the web but found no statements about this. If we can find out, then the article may either explain the difference or be turned into a redirect (with Control theory mentioning the synonym). -- Erikms ( talk) 16:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't the article mention driverless cars and pilotless aircraft? pgr94 ( talk) 16:56, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Suggest merge with automation, which actually has automatic control in its definition in the opening part of its lead (as pointed out a few years ago). This article is unloved and any attempt to revive it will result in duplication. Dougsim ( talk) 20:26, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

One thing has often been overlooked when teaching automatic control theory, which is - the definition of a 'process'. I don't think any text book tells a student exactly or clearly what a 'process' actually is. That is, what is it? What does it mean in terms of a control system? Wikipedia currently says - process: "series of interrelated tasks that, together, transform inputs into outputs". Should give some examples. Some text books have a spinning disk driven by a motor, and has the word 'a process' next to it. Totally confusing. There needs to be clear examples and explanations of what 'process' really means.
