Category: basic_concepts

Definition

Closed-loop systems in AI utilize real-time feedback from the environment to dynamically adjust their behavior or parameters. This contrasts with open-loop systems that execute pre-defined sequences without adaptation. By constantly comparing actual outcomes against desired goals, closed-loop architectures enable robust autonomy in robotics, adaptive control, and reinforcement learning agents operating in dynamic environments.

Summary

A control system where output feedback is continuously used to adjust future actions.
