Automatic Systems in Daily Life

The document describes five systems - an automatic escalator, government policing, human shivering, and classroom bell scheduling - and compares their control mechanisms. For the escalator, shivering, and bell scheduling, control is either fully automated or involves the brain/people, while government policing involves control decisions made by people based on sensed threats. The document analyzes each system's response to inputs and how control is calculated.

Everyday Life
Description: The automatic escalator has a sensor before the first step
that detects when a person is going onboard together with control
software that appropriately moves or stops the steps.
Control calculations: Automated

Government

Description: Increased police visibility is a response of the government to


areas with recent or high crime rates. The number of police deployed
depends on the threat sensed by the government.
Control calculations: Performed by people

Biology
Description: Shivering is a bodily function in response to cold signals
from the skin or spinal cord. It maintains homeostasis by skeletal muscles
shaking in small movements and thus creating warmth.
Control calculations: Brain (Primary Motor Center)

Management

Description: When periodic bell rings automatically scheduled five


minutes before and when classes end are heard, students and instructors
manage their remaining time properly to be early for their next class.
Control calculations: Performed by People
