Abstract	A robust technique with sub-optimal weight function( M-estimator) was applied to investigate track fitting in cathode strip chambers ( CSC) and determine the CSC spatial resolution. The comparative analysis with the conventional LSQ method was made on simulated data and experimental measurements from the CSC prototype.The obtained results definitely prove a necessity of using robust track fitting for a reliable estimation of muon chamber spatial resolution.
