Linear feedback controllers for position servos are designed using a frequency domain optimization method based on H∞ theory. This method aims to produce a low-order controller which is ‘robust’, in the sense that the closed-loop system is guaranteed to meet performance objectives in the presence of unmodelled dynamics. A detailed design of a controller for a hydraulic position servo, including experimental results, is presented.
