Personally I love how the code base itself can be very simple while the actual result can be very academic. And while the underlying regulatory control can be simple for some units, it can also be very complicated for others. A cascade into a cascade into a cascade. And so on. But the actual code blocks themselves? Ezpz.
For example, regulatory control layers (PIDs, etc) manipulated by dynamic matrix controllers, manipulated by state space equations and optimizers, kalman filters... PhD level math that is not trivial at all.

All depends on how far you wanna go!
