🧪 Is AITL Really Robust?
PID Only vs AITL — Shown Side-by-Side
In the previous articles, we established that:
- Physical AI is a design problem, not a learning problem
- Directly connecting an LLM causes structural failure
- A robust architecture requires a PID × FSM × LLM three-layer structure
But one question always remains:
“The theory makes sense.
But does it actually work?”
In this article,
no new theory is introduced.
We show only the difference in behavior.
👀 Purpose of This Article
- Explaining design philosophy ❌
- Mathematical derivations ❌
We do only one thing:
Observe how behavior changes
when the structure changes under identical conditions
🧠 Structures Being Compared
We compare the following two cases.
🔵 Case A: PID ONLY
- Real-time control by PID alone
- No explicit state management
- Post-disturbance behavior left entirely to PID dynamics
🟢 Case B: AITL (PID + FSM)
- Real-time control by PID
- FSM placed above PID
- Control mode switches based on system state
Plant, disturbance, and initial conditions are identical.
The only difference is:
👉 Whether an FSM exists or not
🖥️ Demo (Watch First)
First,
just watch — don’t analyze yet.
🔍 What to Look For (Minimal Explanation)
🔵 Top: PID ONLY
- A disturbance is applied
- The system responds
- Steady-state error remains
- The system never “returns” in a semantic sense
This is correct behavior for PID.
PID stabilizes dynamics,
but it does not understand meaning or state recovery.
🟢 Bottom: AITL (PID + FSM)
- Disturbance is detected
- State transitions to “disturbance”
- Control mode is switched
- The system returns to the original target state
Nothing magical happens here:
- PID did not become smarter ❌
- No learning occurred ❌
👉 Only the FSM recognized the system state
That is all.
🧩 What This Demonstrates
This demo proves a single point:
Robustness comes from structure,
not from algorithms
- Same PID
- Same parameters
- Same disturbance
Yet the outcome changes.
Only the structure was changed.
🧭 Summary
- AITL is not an ideology
- Not magic
- Not “AI getting smarter”
It is simply correct separation of responsibilities:
- PID for real-time stability
- FSM for state and safety
- LLM for external reasoning (outside the loop)
As long as this separation is preserved,
Physical AI systems become far more robust.
