Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Adaptive control is the control method used by a controller which must adapt to a controlled system with parameters which vary, or are initially uncertain.[1][2] For example, as an aircraft flies, its mass will slowly decrease as a result of fuel consumption; a control law is needed that adapts itself to such changing conditions. Adaptive control is different from robust control in that it does not need a priori information about the bounds on these uncertain or time-varying parameters; robust control guarantees that if the changes are within given bounds the control law need not be changed, while adaptive control is concerned with control law changing itself.
