Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are undoubtedly the most employed controllers in industry, and they have significantly contributed to the impact of control systems in society. This book is a very welcome addition to the PID control literature as it aims to reduce the gap between theory and practice and foster technology transfer from academia to industry. Indeed, the topics included in the book are useful for students and practitioners in different fields to better understand how to design a PID controller and address the many issues that are faced in practice. The only prerequisites that are assumed of the reader are a basic knowledge of feedback control systems and dynamic systems (for example, transfer functions, frequency response, and state space models). The main feature of this book is the presence of many detailed worked examples that help the reader understand the underlying concepts. The reader is guided in developing Matlab scripts (also available from the book’s associated website) that help to clearly outline the sequence of steps associated with each design technique. There are also study questions, provided after each section, designed to evaluate whether the reader fully understands the chapter topics. Numerical and simulation problems are also presented at the end of each chapter. Overall, the pedagogical approach followed in this text is appreciated and commendable. This book is suitable for those students and practitioners who have been exposed to a single control course and want to learn more about PID controllers or are asked to work with them in an industrial setting. It is worth emphasizing that, due to the inclusion of resonant controllers and a chapter dedicated to unmanned aerial vehicles, this book addresses general areas of application and is not only limited to process control problems. In summary, this book is a very good reference for those who want to deepen their knowledge about PID control without requiring a strong background in control theory. Further advancements in the field can then be learned from other more advanced books once the basic concepts have been mastered.
