**Feedback control (or “closed-loop control”)** refers to the class of algorithms which use sensors to measure what a mechanism is doing, and issue corrective commands to move a mechanism from where it actually is, to where you want it to be. Even with unlimited study, it is impossible to know every force that will be exerted on a robot’s mechanism in perfect detail. So feedback control is used to correct the error not covered by feedforward control.
