About us
Understand the difference between manual and automatic control using an interactive virtual lab. Learn who decides and who acts—without theory or equations.
The Manual vs Automatic Control lab helps beginners clearly understand how control systems behave in manual and automatic modes. Instead of learning definitions, learners visually observe who makes decisions, how actions are applied, and how systems respond to disturbances. This lab builds strong foundational clarity essential for control systems, automation roles, and interviews.
How to Use This Lab
Observe the system behavior in manual mode.
Adjust the actuator directly and see the response.
Switch to automatic mode.
Introduce a disturbance and observe automatic correction.
Compare behavior between both modes.
