A strategy for the design of robust control of tracking electromechanical
systems based on 𝐻∞ synthesis is proposed. Proposed methods are based on
the operations on frequency characteristics of control systems designed and
developed using the MATLAB robust control toolbox. Determination of the
singular values for a transfer matrix of the control system reduces the
disturbances and guarantees its stability margin. For selecting the weighted
transfer functions, the basic recommendations are formulated. The efficiency
of the proposed approach is verified by robust control of an elastically
coupled two-mass system whose parameter values are adjusted by matching
them with the parameters of one of the supplied robots. The simulation
results confirm that the proposed strategy of design of robust control of two-
mass elastic coupling system using the 𝐻∞ synthesis is very efficient and
significantly reduces the perturbation of parameters of the controlled plant.

1. INTRODUCTION
Many modern approaches for the design of control systems pay much attention to robust features, in
particular, robust stability and robust performance of control systems in conditions of existing uncertainties.
These approaches primarily consider the fact that the real physical systems and the environmental conditions
in which they operate cannot be modeled precisely, the values of their parameters can be changed
unpredictably and can be perturbed from the external environment. As it is known, a system can be
considered robust if it has sufficient reliability, roughness, and flexibility. The requirements for the robust
systems are the following: i) possessing a low sensitivity, ii) remaining stable, and iii) keeping its quality
features insufficiently large intervals of their parameters.
The robustness of control systems is related to the sensitivity of the systems to conditions not
considered during analysis and synthesis. For example, they can be sudden disturbances, sensor noises, and
extra parameters affecting their dynamics. In such conditions, the system must be capable to reduce the
influence of these affections during its performance and achieve the stated objectives. External disturbances
and parametric perturbations caused by internal uncertainties are going to be easily eliminated using robust
control. The main idea of robust control is that a feedback controller should ensure that the requirements for a
closed-loop system are satisfied for a set of objects with fixed deviations from the nominal regime.
𝐻∞ control theory is widely used for control design problems [1]–[5]. The usefulness of the
𝐻∞ norm as an optimality criterion for the synthesis of multidimensional systems is based on its relationship
with the powerfulness of the systems. The 𝐻∞ norm of the transfer function is the energy quantity of the
system’s output when a signal with unit energy is directed to its input. When we represent the output as an
error and input as the perturbation, we minimize the 𝐻∞ norm of the transfer function and minimize the
energy of the error for the most difficult case of perturbation of the system’s input. In the scalar case, the

norm of such a function is bounded and equal to the maximal value of the frequency response. Due to these
properties, 𝐻∞ control has various applications in various fields such as electric motors, manipulators,
spacecraft, control of aircraft and other vehicles.
Research [1], [2], [5] present a design and development of a robust control as a part of a complete
automatic landing system proposed by ONERA and AIRBUS. Reliable synthesis methods, for example, the
standard and structured 𝐻∞ construction) provide an effective basis for solving these problems. In the
study [3], a robust automatic landing controller based on proposed stable inversion (SI). The SI algorithm is
applied to increase the accuracy of output signal tracking in the system’s architecture, and the 𝐻∞ synthesis is
used to increase the robust resistance to uncertainties caused by wind disturbances. In the study [4], the
vertical speed control of the aircraft before landing is based on the structured 𝐻∞ control, and minimizes the
influence of wind shear, ground effects, and changes in airspeed.
In the study [6], vibrational control of composite panels that contain indeterminate parameters in a
hypersonic flow is analyzed on non-probabilistic reliability. Its simulation results show the high efficiency of
the applied control method under the influenced reliability. The performance indicator 𝐻∞, and the
approximation speed suppresses all panel vibrations in the entire range of uncertain parameters.
In the study [7], a morphing aircraft multi-circuit control system is developed. It provides stability of
the transition process in the form of a wing. The designed control uses a set of gain factors in the internal
loop and ensures stability by standard methods, while the self-tuning controller 𝐻∞ of the external loop is
designed to provide a certain stability level and performance indices for time-varying dynamics. Work [8]
describes an analytical method that generalizes the parameters of robust lateral control of an aircraft using
auxiliary damping in automatic devices (ADAD). The design of the proposed controller is based on the
application of the 𝐻∞ and 𝜇 methods.
Works [9]–[11] are dedicated to the design of robust control of aircraft motion using the
𝐻∞ technique. Lyapunov functions are used in [12]–[14] to increase the robust stability of control systems to
uncertainties caused by internal and external perturbations. The Lyapunov function is constructed in the form
of a vector function, the anti-gradient of which is given by the components of the velocity vector of the
system. In [15]–[18], the problems of constructing robust aircraft control under the conditions of uncontrolled
disturbances are considered, where the so-called weight functions are introduced.
In the study [19], the robust control of an electromechanical drive system’s (EMF) thrust vector in a
spaceship is designed. During the spaceship’s motion, the EMF system overcomes the load perturbation and
changes the operating point to improve the strength characteristics of control. Considering this problem and
taking into account the high inertia and low load stiffness of the EMF system, the robust control of the EMF
system is developed using the 𝐻∞ control based on operating on degrees of freedom (DOF) of the system.
Works [20], [21] describe the robust control technique for the EMF system using the 𝐻∞ control that allows
to neglect perturbation of parameters and the load very efficiently.
In this paper, a methodology has been developed for designing a robust control system for 𝐻∞
synthesis tools. The considered methods use the robust control toolbox, a part of the MATLAB software
platform. These methods are based on operations with the frequency characteristics of systems. There are
singular values for the transfer matrix of the control system that determine the attenuation of disturbances and
provide a margin of stability of the control system. One of the most important steps of robust structural
design is the determination of weight transfer functions using the heuristic approaches. Recommendations on
choosing the weight matrices are proposed. In particular, we apply robust control for an elastically coupled
two-mass system with parameter values corresponding to the parameters of one of the robots. The considered
system is a significant simplification in comparison to the existing control systems. The proposed approach
makes it possible to neglect the perturbation of parameters and the perturbation of the load in control systems
very efficiently. Further, section 2 presents a problem statement and mathematical model of the control
system, properties of the robust structural synthesis procedure 𝐻∞. Section 3 contains the results of the 𝐻∞
synthesis method for an elastically coupled two-mass system, recommendations for the choice of weight
matrices. In section 4, we interpret obtained results and conclude.
2. METHOD OF ANALYSIS
2.1. Mathematical model of the control system
A rotating mechanical system consists of two inertial masses 𝐽1, 𝐽2 connected by an elastic coupling
[22], [23] as shown in Figure 1. This is a significant simplification of the actual elastic design of the control
system. The moment 𝑀𝑦 transmitted by the сlutсh is the rеsistаnсе mоmеnt tо thе first аnd thе driving timе
fоr the sесоnd inertial mass. It is proportional to the diffеrеnсе bеtwееn аngulаr displасеmеnts of both

Оnе of the last famous аpprоасhеs to the structural design оf rоbust control is 𝐻∞ design. Its bаsiс
fundamentals are known, for example, from [15]–[18]. The standard architecture of а systеm with applied

Thе procedure of 𝐻∞ design by thе mixеd sеnsitivity mеthоd is bаsеd оn sоlving twо Riссаti
еquаtiоns. It tests сеrtаin соnditiоns аnd minimizes thе 𝐻∞ nоrm оf mixеd sеnsitivity funсtiоns оf thе systеm (7).
Autоmаtеd sоlutiоns tо this prоblеm are included to the corresponding package оf MATLAB software.
For designing a robust control system, let's consider the methods used in the MATLAB robust
control toolbox. These methods are based on the operations with the frequency characteristics of the systems.
The role of maximum frequency response for assessing the robustness of the system is the following: the
smaller the maximum, the greater the change of the parameters of the controlled plant can be assumed for

4887
maintaining the stability of the system [24]–[26]. One of the indicators that indirectly characterize the value
of the maximum frequency response is so-called 𝐻2-norm which is defined for the matrix of transfer
functions 𝐹(𝑆) as (8):
‖𝐹‖2 = √
1
2𝜋
∫ 𝑆𝑝|𝐹∗(𝑗𝜔)𝐹(𝑗𝜔)|𝑑𝜔
∞
−∞
(8)
where the symbol * means a transposed matrix with complex conjugate elements. A more direct approach for
estimating the robustness of the system is based on finding the singular values of the transfer matrix of the
system and minimizing the‖𝐹‖∞ norm based on those singular values.
The singular values depend on the frequency for transfer matrices 𝐹(𝑗𝜔), including the largest
singular value 𝜎1. The upper bound of this value during changing 𝜔 within 0 < 𝜔 ≤ ∞ is called 𝐻∞ the norm
of the transfer matrix:
𝜎𝐹1(𝜔) = 𝑚𝑎𝑥𝑖√𝑒𝑖𝑔𝑖(𝐹∗(𝑗𝜔)𝐹(𝑗𝜔)), (9)
‖𝐹‖∞ = 𝑠𝑢𝑝0<𝜔<∞𝜎𝐹1(𝜔).
Since the singular value 𝑆(𝑗𝜔) attenuates the perturbations, the required attenuation can be
represented by (10):
𝜎1(𝑆(𝑗𝜔)) ≤ |𝑊1
−1(𝑗𝜔)|. (10)
Based on obtained above, the interval for the remaining sensitivity functions is represented by (11):
𝜎1(𝑅(𝑗𝜔)) ≤ |𝑊2
−1(𝑗𝜔)|.
𝜎1(𝑇(𝑗𝜔) ≤ |𝑊3
−1(𝑗𝜔)|. (11)
Thus, the following condition has to be satisfied
𝜎1(𝑊1
−1(𝑗𝜔)) + 𝜎1(𝑊3
−1(𝑗𝜔)) > 1 (12)
where 𝑊1, 𝑊2, 𝑊3 are the weight transfer functions [25].
All the requirements for the system for reducing the disturbances and keeping margin stability can
be reduced to the following single requirement:
‖𝑇𝑦1𝑢1‖
∞
≤ 1 (13)
where 𝑇𝑦1𝑢1, accordance to (7), is equal to:
𝑇𝑦1𝑢1 = [
𝑊1𝑆
𝑊2𝑅
𝑊3𝑇
] .
3. RESULTS
The proposed approach of robust synthesis is applicable for the previous two-mass system with
elastic coupling in Figure 1, which is a significant simplification of the actual elastic control design. An

momеnt of inеrtiа of thе sеcond mаss incrеаsеs thrее timеs.
Оnе оf thе mоst impоrtаnt steps оf thе rоbust struсturаl design is thе determination of appropriate

thе systеm rеquirеmеnts аrе satisfied. As a result of 𝐻∞ control, the characteristics are maintained. While the
moment of inertia of the second mass is increasing three times. Thus, robust control using 𝐻∞ synthesis tools
effectively work on the perturbation of parameters and the perturbation of the load in control systems.
The synthesized control minimizes the norm ‖𝑧1, 𝑧2, 𝑧3‖∞. At the same time, it has to have a small
error 𝑒 within the range of low frequencies for neglecting the disturbances and for providing the stability. For
suppressing the high-frequency interference, it needs to have a small 𝑦-value within the range of high
frequencies. For achieving that, the error 𝑒 within the range of low frequencies should be “weighed” greater
than for the high frequencies, i.e. the magnitude of the frequency response 𝑊1 should decrease along with
increased frequency. In contrast to that, the magnitude of the frequency response 𝑊3 should increase with
increased frequency. Frequency response 𝑊2 can be useful for limiting the control power, as well as a
parameter that can be configured for speed control. In addition, in some cases, the inclusion of 𝑊2 is
necessary for given problems to make them solvable. In this case, the simplest choice 𝑊2 = 𝜀𝐼 can be
sufficient, where 𝜀 is a small value and 𝐼 is a unit matrix of the corresponding size. Therefore, it is clear that

4889
the determination of weight matrices is a quite challenging task that requires sufficient experience for the
developers, as well as the trial-and-error method. The robust control toolbox does not provide a method for
selecting these frequency characteristics but only tells whether solving a problem with the selected
characteristics makes it possible to complete the task.

4. CONCLUSION
An approach for the design of a robust control system is proposed using 𝐻∞ synthesis tools on the
example of an elastically coupled two-mass system. The analyzed two-mass system with elastic coupling
with parameter values corresponding to the parameters of one of the robots is a significant simplification of
the actual elastic design of the control system. The methods of design of robust control are based on
operations on frequency characteristics of the systems. There are singular values for the transfer matrix of the
control system that determine the attenuation of disturbances and provide the margin of stability of the

control system. In the process of design of the control system, the expressions for weight transfer functions
are obtained with heuristic approaches. By implemented modeling and synthesis of the control system, the
characteristics of the system with a full-order regulator and the nominal control plant, with a reduced-order
regulator and the nominal control plant, and with a reduced-order regulator and a perturbed control plant are
obtained. As a result of the synthesis, all the requirements for the system are satisfied. Obtained results
confirm the proposed approach that allows neglecting the perturbation of parameters and load in the given
control systems. There are many prospects for further research dedicated to the design of robust control for
elastically coupled two-mass systems with varied stiffness coefficients, and electromechanical systems with a
more complex mathematical model using the proposed approach and based on the 𝐻∞ synthesis.
