This article addresses finite-horizon robust control of a piecewise affine system affected by uncertainty and characterized by different affine dynamics (modes) associated with a polyhedral partition of the state space. The goal is to design a static state-feedback control law that maintains the state of the system within given—possibly time-varying—sets, subject to actuation constraints. The proposed approach rests on two phases: a reference mode sequence with a sufficiently large robustness level is determined first, and then a tracking state-feedback control law defined on the reach sets of the controlled system is designed to counteract uncertainty and maintain the reach sets within the reference sequence. If this is not possible and the reach sets split over different modes, then, further reference mode sequences and tracking controllers are computed. The designed state-feedback control law is represented through a collection of controllers defined on precomputed reach sets of the closed-loop control system. Performance of the approach is shown on some numerical examples.
