Robustness of the control law in the presence of model uncertainties is a requirement which can be formulated straightforwardly in the frame of the //«> control theory. However, its incorporation into a CSID problem is not as easy. The difficulty arises mainly because the //« controller synthesis must be done iteratively and thus, integration, as a part of an optimization scheme, requires the development of some additional analytical tools and careful organization of the optimization routine. The paper presents a procedure which allows CSID to incorporate requiremen
