Difference Between Normal Feedback Controller and Robust Controller

AI Thread Summary
Normal feedback controllers may not ensure stability or adequately compensate for model misrepresentations, such as linearization errors or parameter variations. Robust controllers are designed to handle these discrepancies effectively, maintaining performance across a range of conditions, both expected and unexpected. They provide a level of compensation for system errors that traditional feedback controllers may not achieve. The discussion emphasizes the importance of choosing the right controller based on the system's needs and potential uncertainties. Understanding the differences between these controllers is crucial for effective system design.

Hi all,
If we misrepresent the Model of the system say we linearized the System Model or any parameter variations like friction, Temp etc.
Will normal feedback takes care of the offset of the Model?
I was confused with Robust Controller. What is it? and How effective is it than normal?

Thank You,
Yaswanth

Simple feedback does not necessarily mean a stable system, normally it doesn't, so you may (more than likely) need some sort of controller to compensate for system error.

What is meant by the term robust is that it can compensate the system adequately in different circumstances, anticipated and (perhaps) unanticipated, without a system hindering error (or just an error you can live with).

Sorry about that. First I thought that it was Mechanical one and then after not getting any replies I post here.
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
