Robust control
Robust control is a branch of control theory that explicitly deals with uncertainty in its approach to controller
design. Robust control methods are designed to function properly so long as uncertain parameters or disturbances are
within some (typically compact) set. Robust methods aim to achieve robust performance and/or stability in the
presence of bounded modeling errors.
The early methods of Bode and others were fairly robust; the state-space methods invented in the 1960s and 1970s
were sometimes found to lack robustness,[1] prompting research to improve them. This was the start of the theory of
Robust Control, which took shape in the 1980s and 1990s and is still active today.
In contrast with an adaptive control policy, a robust control policy is static; rather than adapting to measurements of
variations, the controller is designed to work assuming that certain variables will be unknown but, for example,
bounded.[2][3]
