Encyclopedia of Robust Control: Volume I (Concepts and Applications)

This book gives a broad overview of robust control by providing theoretical advances with the help of selected applications. Robust control has been a topic of extensive research in the last three decades culminating in H_2/H_\infty and \mu design methods followed by studies on parametric robustness, earlier motivated by Kharitonov's theorem, the extension to non-linear time delay systems, and other recent methods. This book includes contributions of experts in this field from all over the world. While, discussing different theoretical aspects and application areas, it also examines problems in robust control theory and its functioning in electromechanical and robotic systems. It also includes topics on robust control and problem specific solutions. This book serves as a complete guide for researchers, students and other interested individuals in the field of robotics and mechatronics.
