Abstract:

Do you also have a motion system that has the same error in each task? Iterative Learning Control (ILC) can achieve perfect performance for your system. A general learning framework is presented that exploits measured error signals from previous tasks. By employing very simple models, both fast and safe learning is achieved, guaranteeing a reduction of the error in each experiment. Typically, perfect performance is achieved in only five to ten iterations. A complete design framework for motion systems is provided, while at the same time touching upon the essential theoretical foundations, including non-causality of the optimal design and the connection to traditional feedback and feedforward designs. Finally, recent approaches are explored that facilitate the implementation on industrial systems, including flexibility for a large class of tasks and multivariable systems.
