Open loop control
From apm
Open loop control is control without feedback
The robot is not capable or equipped to "see" or otherwise detect
when its actions do not lead to desired/expected/nominal results.
Instead it just keeps on going doing what is does.
Totally oblivious and in total denial of what is going on.
Failures may lead up to self destruction of the robotic system
or sometimes to more or less spectacular and miraculous recoveries.
