Modelling and H∞ Robust Control of a Neonatal Incubator
Abstract: This study presents the modelling of a neonatal incubator and the design of a robust H∞ controller. Neonates, who are born premature, often don’t have enough maturity to regulate their temperature. These infants have low metabolic heat production rate and may have high heat loss from the skin so they have an increased risk of death in the first week of their life. The core temperature of the human body …
