This book gives a broad overview of theoretical and design advances with the help of selected applications. Robust control has been a topic of extensive research in the last three decades resulting 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 by experts in this field from all over the world. It covers special topics in robust and adaptive control. 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.
