Introduction to Robust Control





Over the past thirty years, thanks to the fast development of more and more powerful computers, Robust Control Theory has known a large success. This field is today among the most important ones in Automatic Control. In short, robust control methods aim at providing controllers from simplified modelsĀ  still working on the real plants which areĀ  often too complicated to be accurately described by a unique set of linear differential equations. The aim of this course is to provide students with the main ingredients for a better understanding of this field without requiring any significant background in robust control theory. At the end of the course, a short illustrative Matlab demo is provided on a double-integrator model.
