A method for automating system identification includes performing a system identification experiment, and performing a system identifying processing by fitting a model to data from the system identification experiment. The method also includes performing model reduction to generate a model numerically suitable for controller synthesis by removing inconsequential states that cause controller optimization methods to fail. The method further includes performing control synthesis using the generated model or reduced models, including disturbance spectrum estimates, to generate a candidate controller design to be used during system operation. The method also includes checking for controller robustness using the identified model to ensure stability of the system while maximizing closed-loop bandwidth and performance.
