The main topic of this thesis is to exhibit how robust control techniques can be
applied to real time systems. Presently, the control techniques used in the industry are
very simple even when applied to complex systems; these techniques are intuitive and
not necessarily systematic. Moreover, the notion of optimality of robustness is absent.
Control design procedures are mostly based on SISO techniques, thus, overlooking
the intrinsic multivariable aspect of the design that a MIMO system requires.
In this thesis a modern control technique is presented to manipulate a 3DOF
birotor helicopter in real time. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the
performance of more efficient control algorithms to control these kinds of systems. The
robust method proposed in this thesis is an H infinity controller which exhibits robustness
to plant model uncertainties, and good disturbance and noise rejection.
