feedforward control

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
feedforward control,
an anticipatory correction in motor behavior. During movement, various brain centers depend on feedback from receptors to control motor behavior. If the actual and intended motor behaviors do not match, an error signal is generated and alterations are made. In some instances the control system anticipates an error and makes the corrective change in advance of the start of movement.

[FIGURE 13 OMITTED] PRIMER ON MPC Simple feedforward control only works adequately when the system can be accurately represented with an instantaneous algebraic equation.
Feedforward control systems allow for the use of unskilled labor by ensuring quality and standardization through processes rather than individuals (Fowler, 1999; Morgan, 1992), while feedback control systems leave quality in the hands of workers so that products can be tailored to meet customer needs (Filley and Aldag, 1980).
