Apparatus and method for producing a controller

An apparatus for parameterizing a controller for a control section of a steering system of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive measurements characterizing an actual behavior of the control section at different operating points;
• receive a target behavior of the control section at the different operating points,
• determine functions modeling a deviation of the actual behavior from the target behavior at a respective operating point of the different operating points based on a corresponding measurement of the measurements for at least one operating point of the different operating points,
• determine at least one parameter of the controller affecting an actual transmission behavior of the control section, the at least one parameter including a proportional gain factor, an integral gain factor, and/or a differential gain factor of the controller, and the at least one parameter determined depending on the deviation at the respective operating point, and
• parametrize the controller based on the at least one parameter, such that the control section has a specified target transmission behavior when controlled by the parameterized controller that results in the actual transmission behavior consistently following the specified target transmission behavior.
