Course description and aims
The purpose of this course is to provide the students with the principles and tools of robust control theory: nominal stability, nominal performance, robustness, uncertainty, robust stability, loop shaping, H∞ control, robust performance. The students will be introduced to the computational tools for control systems available in Robust Control Toolbox (MATLAB).
The applications of robust control theory are spreading to diverse areas such as aerospace systems, chemical processes, automobiles, mechatronics and power networks. This course will focus on an introduction to the fundamentals of robustness, uncertainty and design method of H∞ control. H∞ control minimizes H∞ norm of the feedback systems and to reduce its sensitivity in front of perturbations and uncertainties. Since robust control theory has been one of the most active research area, the students will be provided the fundamentals of mainstream control theory.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1） Explain the motivation of robust control.
2） Compute nominal stability and nominal performance.
3） Explain robustness and uncertainty of systems.
4） Explain robust stability and loop shaping.
5） Acquire the fundamentals of H∞ control, and based on this knowledge, design multivariable feedback control systems.
6） Understand robust performance.
