Robust optimization is a method for optimization under uncertainties in engineering systems and designs for applications ranging from aeronautics to nuclear. In a robust design process, parameter variability (or uncertainty) is incorporated into the engineering systems' optimization process to assure the systems' quality and reliability. This chapter focuses on a robust optimization approach for developing robust and reliable advanced systems and explains the framework for using uncertainty quantification and optimization techniques. For the uncertainty analysis, a polynomial chaos-based approach is combined with the optimization algorithms MOSA (Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing), and the process is discussed with a simplified test function. For the optimization process, gradient-free genetic algorithms are considered as the optimizer scans the whole design space, and the optimal values are not always dependent on the initial values.
