11.10.5. Robust Control

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is robust control?

   Hint

   Think about how robots handle unforeseen challenges.

2. 2.

   Name one technique used in robust control.

   Hint

   Consider terms related to stability and performance.

3. 3.

   What does robust control guarantee?

   • Output remains stable despite disturbances
   • Output is affected by disturbances
   • Performance degrades under uncertainty

   Hint

   Think about how control keeps systems functioning under pressure.

4. 4.

   True or False: Sliding Mode Control decreases performance due to chattering.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider what happens when a control signal oscillates too quickly.

5. 5.

   Consider a robot employed in a fluctuating environment with varying disturbances. Discuss how you would implement robust control techniques to ensure reliable operation.

   Hint

   Think about how to integrate different control strategies in one system.

6. 6.

   Assess the advantages and disadvantages of using Sliding Mode Control in practical applications, especially concerning chattering.

   Hint

   Contrast the benefits of quick response against the costs of oscillations.
