An open-closed-loop iterative learning control approach for nonlinear switched systems with application to freeway traffic control

For nonlinear switched discrete-time systems with input constraints, this paper presents an open-closed-loop iterative learning control (ILC) approach, which includes a feedforward ILC part and a feedback control part. Under a given switching rule, the mathematical induction is used to prove the convergence of ILC tracking error in each subsystem. It is demonstrated that the convergence of ILC tracking error is dependent on the feedforward control gain, but the feedback control can speed up the convergence process of ILC by a suitable selection of feedback control gain. A switched freeway traffic system is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed ILC law.

Integrated predictive iterative learning control based on updating reference trajectory for point-to-point tracking

A novel control technique is proposed by combining iterative learning control (ILC) and model predictive control (MPC) with updating-reference trajectory for point-to-point tracking problem of batch process. In this paper, a batch-to-batch updating-reference trajectory, which passes through the desired points, is firstly designed as the tracking trajectory within a batch. The updating control law consists of P-type ILC part and MPC part, in which P-type ILC part can improve the performance by learning from previous executions and MPC part is used to suppress the model perturbations and external disturbances. Convergence properties of the integrated predictive iterative learning control (IPILC) are analyzed theoretically, and the sufficient convergence conditions of output tracking error are also derived for a class of linear systems. Comparing with other point-to-point tracking control algorithms, the proposed algorithm can perform better in robustness. Furthermore, updating-reference relaxes the constraints for system outputs, and it may lead to faster convergence and more extensive range of application than those of fixed-reference control algorithms. Simulation results on typical systems show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

Iterative learning control for integrated system of robot and machine tool

This study is concerned with the integrated system of a robot and a machine tool. The major task of robot is loading the workpiece to the machine tool for contour cutting. An iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm is proposed to improve the accuracy of the finished product. The proposed ILC is to modify the input command of the next machining cycle for both robot and machine tool to iteratively enhance the output accuracy of the robot and machine tool. The modified command is computed based on the current tracking/contour error. For the ILC of the robot, tracking error is considered as the control objective to reduce the tracking error of motion path, in particular, the error at the endpoint. Meanwhile, for the ILC of the machine tool, contour error is considered as the control objective to improve the contouring accuracy, which determines the quality of machining. In view of the complicated contour error model, the equivalent contour error instead of the actual contour error is taken as the control objective in this study. One challenge for the integrated system is that there exists an initial state error for the machine tool dynamics, violating the basic assumption of ILC. It will be shown in this study that the effects of initial state error can be significantly reduced by the ILC of the robot. The proposed ILC algorithm is verified experimentally on an integrated system of commercial robot and machine tool. The experimental results show that the proposed ILC can achieve more than 90% of reduction on both the RMS tracking error of the robot and the RMS contour error of the machine tool within six learning iterations. The results clearly validate the effectiveness of the proposed ILC for the integrated system.     

Optimal iterative learning control for end-point product qualities in semi-batch process based on neural network model

An optimal iterative learning control (ILC) strategy of improving endpoint products in semi-batch processes is presented by combining a neural network model. Control affine feed-forward neural network (CAFNN) is proposed to build a model of semi-batch process. The main advantage of CAFNN is to obtain analytically its gradient of endpoint products with respect to input. Therefore, an optimal ILC law with direct error feedback is obtained explicitly, and the convergence of tracking error can be analyzed theoretically. It has been proved that the tracking errors may converge to small values. The proposed modeling and control strategy is illustrated on a simulated isothermal semi-batch reactor, and the results show that the endpoint products can be improved gradually from batch to batch.

Iterative learning control for position tracking of a pneumatic actuated X–Y table

The iterative learning control (ILC) obtains the unknown information from repeated control operations. Meanwhile, the tracking error from previous stages is used as the correction factor for the next control action. Therefore, the ILC controller can make the system tracking error converge to a small region within a limited number of iterations. This study builds a proportional-valve-controlled pneumatic X–Y table system for performing position tracking control experiments. The experiments involve implementing the ILC controllers and comparing the results. The P-type updating law with delay parameters is used for both the x- and y-axes in the repetitive trajectory tracking control. Experimental results demonstrate that the ILC controller can effectively control the system and track the desired circular trajectory at different speeds. The control parameters are varied to investigate their effects on the ILC convergence.     

An algebraic approach to iterative learning control

In this paper discrete-time iterative learning control (ILC) systems are analysed from an algebraic point of view. The algebraic analysis shows that a linear-time invariant single-input–single-output model can always represented equivalently as a static multivariable plant due to the finiteness of the time-axis. Furthermore, in this framework the ILC synthesis problem becomes a tracking problem of a multi-channel step-function. The internal model principle states that for asymptotic tracking (i.e. convergent learning) it is required that an ILC algorithm has to contain an integrator along the iteration axis, but at the same time the resulting closed-loop system should be stable. The question of stability can then be answered by analysing the closed-loop poles along the iteration axis using standard results from multivariable polynomial systems theory. This convergence theory suggests that time-varying ILC control laws should be typically used instead of time-invariant control laws in order to guarantee good transient tracking behaviour. Based on this suggestion a new adaptive ILC algorithm is derived, which results in monotonic convergence for an arbitrary linear discrete-time plant. This adaptive algorithm also has important implications in terms of future research work—as a concrete example it demonstrates that ILC algorithms containing adaptive and time-varying components can result in enhanced convergence properties when compared to fixed parameter ILC algorithms. Hence it can be expected that further research on adaptive learning mechanisms will provide a new useful source of high-performance ILC algorithms.
