Abstract: Abstract The field of automatic control has emerged over the last century as an indispensable part of technology and an important element in the conceptualization of scientific ideas in a variety of fields. Because of its wide applicability, many of its mathematical aspects have been explored broadly and refined to a high degree. Other avenues are just now beginning to be explored. As we enter the 21st century it seems appropriate to assess the progress that has been made and discuss what may lie in store. In this paper we review the applicability of existing theory in areas such as robotics, physics and biology and discuss the kinds of advances that would help make it possible for the subject to reach its full potential as an aid to science and technology.
