Objectives of the Course Industrial systems often face the challenge of uncertainties, external disturbances, and varying conditions. Robust control design techniques ensure that control systems maintain performance and stability despite these challenges. This course covers advanced robust control methods such as Hinfinity control, sliding mode control, and loop shaping, with a focus on their practical applications in various industries. By the end of this course, participants will be equipped to design and implement robust controllers that can withstand real-world disturbances and uncertainties.
Course Content Introduction to Robust Control, H-infinity Control, Sliding Mode Control (SMC), Loop Shaping and Optimization Techniques, Advanced Topics in Robust Control and Applications.
