This document provides an overview of automatic control and mixed sensitivity H∞ control. It begins with background on automatic control, including its history, basic notions such as feedback and components, and types of controllers and control objectives. It then discusses mixed sensitivity H∞ control, including the motivation of robustness to uncertainty, basic notions such as the infinity norm and robust H∞ control objective. It also covers uncertainty models and loop shaping techniques. The document provides context and definitions regarding automatic control and mixed sensitivity H∞ control.
