Abstract：
This note adds historical context into solving the problem of improving the speed of the step response of a low-order plant in two different types of control systems, a chemical mixing system and the human saccadic system. Two electrical engineers studied the above problem: one to understand and model how nature and evolution solved it and the other to design a control system to solve it in a man-made commercial system. David A. Robinson discovered that fast and accurate saccades were produced by a pulse-step of neural innervation applied to the extraocular plant. Leonidas M. Mantgiaris invented a method to achieve rapid and accurate chemical mixing by applying a large stimulus for a short period of time and then replacing it with the desired steady-state value (i.e., a \"pulse-step\" input). Thus, two humans used their brains to: 1) determine how the human brain produced human saccades; and 2) invent a control-system method to produce fast and accurate chemical mixing. That the second person came up with the same method by which his own brain was making saccades may shed light on the question of whether the human brain can fully understand itself.
摘要：
本说明为解决在两种不同类型的控制系统中提高低阶工厂阶跃响应速度的问题增加了历史背景，化学混合系统和人类扫视系统。两位电气工程师研究了上述问题：一个是理解和建模自然和进化如何解决它，另一个是设计控制系统以在人造商业系统中解决它。DavidA.Robinson发现，快速而准确的扫视是由应用于眼外植物的神经支配的脉冲步骤产生的。LeonidasM.Mantgiaris发明了一种方法，通过在短时间内施加大的刺激，然后用所需的稳态值（即，a“脉冲步进”输入)。因此，两个人用他们的大脑:1)确定人脑是如何产生人类扫视的;和2)发明一种控制系统的方法来产生快速和准确的化学混合。第二个人提出了与自己的大脑进行扫视相同的方法，这可能会阐明人类大脑是否可以完全理解自己的问题。
