In this talk some preliminary ideas about the relationship between robust control and the solution of ordinary differential equations will be presented. Three problems will be discussed. The first is just a toy example of solving $\dot{x}=\lambda x, \ x(0)=1$, the second is a more important example of solving an equation whose solution should remain on the unit sphere and the third is an example based on using control theoretic smoothing splines as a corrector in a predictor corrector algorithm.
