Synopsis:

Statistical methods are basic tools of control and decision making theory. Classical statistical methods (e.g. MLE) are usually very sensitive to deviations from our idealized model. Thus many methods which are robust have been developed. It means that these methods are not so sensitive to small deviations from an underlying model. So we briefly explain the parametric concept of estimation and then we introduce the robust approach, some basic robust estimators of location (e.g. trimmed mean, Hampel´s estimator) and measures of robustness (influence function, breakdown point).
