ABSTRACT: Control engineering had been the core of all engineering fields all the time. As the name depicts, control of different parameters of various industrial or commercial equipment like plants, vehicles, aircrafts and etc is obtained. Robust and optimal control of these equipments plays a vital role. This paper presents a design of H2 and H∞ control for a Twin Rotor System (TRS). TRS is a multi input multi output (MIMO) nonlinear system. The main objective is to control the angular position of the lever bar of TRS. It is having strong coupling between inputs and outputs. The model is first linearized and then controllers are designed to control the positions of lever bar. Simulations are made in MAT- LAB/SIMULINK. Model parameters are also provided in the end.
