Robust control can find the set of plants with which a controller remains performant. Finding this set is a well understood problem, and can be straightforward. An engineer can use this set of plants to guarantee how robust a nominal controller is to perturbation. But, engineer cannot use this set to make guarantees about a implemented controller. Implementation of control laws requires lowering the abstraction level from the model of a controller to a computer program. Robustness of this controller implementation can be suggested by analysis of the model, but can be verified through experimentation. -Experimentally verifying robustness for implementations of controllers \ No newline at end of file +Experimentally verifying robustness for implementations of controllers requires elements to be extracted from the set. There are two main ways this has been done: structured and unstructured perturbations. Structured perturbations are created manually: an engineer attributes probability distributions to certain system parameters to include a margin of error. These distributions are sampled to create the perturbation. Unstructured perturbations are trickier to generate, because the perturbation form is not defined. \ No newline at end of file
