High-order feedback iterative learning control algorithm with forgetting factor (Q1666673)

Summary: A novel iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm is proposed to produce output curves that pass close to the desired trajectory. The key advantage of the proposed algorithm is introducing forgetting factor, which is a function of the number of iterations. Due to the forgetting factor characteristic of ILC, the proposed scheme not only stabilizes the nonlinear system with uncertainties but also weakens interference on the tracking desired trajectory. Simulation examples are included to demonstrate feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
