As soon as mechanical systems were born, the need for system regulation became apparent. Indeed, to keep a fire burning or to monitor the cooking of a food product, you need to be attentive and intervene at the right moment, which can be translated as regulation or feedback using an automatic means.
The need to keep physical quantities constant appeared very early on.

With the arrival of the industrial revolution, energy sources such as steam engines in the 18th century, followed by hydraulic turbines...
