This article studies the problem of designing robust control laws to achieve multiple performance objectives for linear uncertain systems. Specifically, in this study we have selected one of the control objectives to be a closed-loop pole placement in specific regions of the left-half complex plane. As such, a guaranteed cost based multi-objective control approach is proposed and compared with the H_2/H_∞control by means of an application example
This works presents a H2/H∞ robust control scheme for a rotary inverted pendulum using Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) approach based on Lyapunov theory and taking into account the uncertainty of the position of the pendulum to the servo-basis of the system. The dynamic model of the system is obtained by Euler-Lagrange formulation and the controller is obtained by solving a convex optimization problem. Experiments using this control scheme with changes in the position of the pendulum were made to compare the performance with another controller using pole placement control design. Results show that only H2/H∞ controller is able to maintain the stability of the system for all experiments performed in this work.
