This paper introduces relevant concepts of the fault-tolerant guaranteed cost control and formulates the robust iterative learning reliable guaranteed cost controller (ILRGCC). A significant advantage is that the proposed ILRGCC design method can be used for on-line optimization against batch-to-batch process uncertainties to realize robust tracking of set-point trajectory in time and batch-to-batch sequences. For the convenience of implementation, only measured output errors of current and previous cycles are used to design a synthetic controller for iterative learning control, consisting of dynamic output feedback plus feed-forward control. The proposed controller can not only guarantee the closed-loop convergency along time and cycle sequences but also satisfy the H∞performance level and a cost function with upper bounds for all admissible uncertainties and any actuator failures. Sufficient conditions for the controller solution are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and design procedures, which formulate a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints, are presented. An example of injection molding is given to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the ILRGCC design approach.展开更多

However, the achievable performance is greatly degraded when iteration-dependent, stochastic disturbances are pre-sented. This paper considers the robustness of the ILC algorithm for the nonlinear system in presence of stochastic measurement disturbances. The robust convergence of the P-type ILC algorithm is firstly addressed, and then an improved ILC algorithm with a decreasing gain is proposed. Theoretical analyses show that the proposed algorithm can guarantee that the tracking error of the nonlinear system tends to zero in presence of measurement dis-turbances. The analysis is also supported by a numerical example.展开更多

Presently, most ILC algorithms still follow the original ideas of ARIMOTO, in which the iterative-learning-rate is composed by the control error with its derivative and integral values. This kind of algorithms will result in inevitable problems such as huge computation, big storage capacity for algorithm data, and also weak robust. In order to resolve these problems, an improved iterative learning control algorithm with fixed step is proposed here which breaks the primary thought of ARIMOTO. In this algorithm, the control step is set only according to the value of the control error, which could enormously reduce the computation and storage size demanded, also improve the robust of the algorithm by not using the differential coefficient of the iterative learning error. In this paper, the convergence conditions of this proposed fixed step iterative learning algorithm is theoretically analyzed and testified. Then the algorithm is tested through simulation researches on a time-variant object with randomly set disturbance through calculation of step threshold value, algorithm robustness testing,and evaluation of the relation between convergence speed and step size. Finally the algorithm is validated on a valve-serving-cylinder system of a joint robot with time-variant parameters. Experiment results demonstrate the stability of the algorithm and also the relationship between step value and convergence rate. Both simulation and experiment testify the feasibility and validity of the new algorithm proposed here. And it is worth to noticing that this algorithm is simple but with strong robust after improvements, which provides new ideas to the research of iterative learning control algorithms.展开更多

文摘A batch-to-batch optimal iterative learning control （ILC） strategy for the tracking control of product quality in batch processes is presented. The linear time-varying perturbation （LTVP） model is built for product quality around the nominal trajectories. To address problems of model-plant mismatches, model prediction errors in the previous batch run are added to the model predictions for the current batch run. Then tracking error transition models can be built, and the ILC law with direct error feedback is explicitly obtained, A rigorous theorem is proposed, to prove the convergence of tracking error under ILC, The proposed methodology is illustrated on a typical batch reactor and the results show that the performance of trajectory tracking is gradually improved by the ILC.

文摘The iterative learning control （ILC） has been demon-strated to be capable of considerably improving the tracking perfor-mance of systems which are affected by the iteration-independent disturbance. However, the achievable performance is greatly degraded when iteration-dependent, stochastic disturbances are pre-sented. This paper considers the robustness of the ILC algorithm for the nonlinear system in presence of stochastic measurement disturbances. The robust convergence of the P-type ILC algorithm is firstly addressed, and then an improved ILC algorithm with a decreasing gain is proposed. Theoretical analyses show that the proposed algorithm can guarantee that the tracking error of the nonlinear system tends to zero in presence of measurement dis-turbances. The analysis is also supported by a numerical example.

文摘An observer-based adaptive iterative learning control(AILC)scheme is developed for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown time-varying parameters and unknown time-varying delays.The linear matrix inequality(LMI)method is employed to design the nonlinear observer.The designed controller contains a proportional-integral-derivative(PID)feedback term in time domain.The learning law of unknown constant parameter is differential-difference-type,and the learning law of unknown time-varying parameter is difference-type.It is assumed that the unknown delay-dependent uncertainty is nonlinearly parameterized.By constructing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii-like composite energy function(CEF),we prove the boundedness of all closed-loop signals and the convergence of tracking error.A simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the control algorithm proposed in this paper.

文摘In this paper, an iterative learning control algorithm is proposed for discrete linear time-varying systems to track iterationvarying desired trajectories. A high-order internal model(HOIM) is utilized to describe the variation of desired trajectories in the iteration domain. In the sequel, the HOIM is incorporated into the design of learning gains. The learning convergence in the iteration axis can be guaranteed with rigorous proof. The simulation results with permanent magnet linear motors(PMLM) demonstrate that the proposed HOIM based approach yields good performance and achieves perfect tracking.

文摘Iterative Learning Control （ILC） captures interests of many scholars because of its capability of high precision control implement without identifying plant mathematical models, and it is widely applied in control engineering. Presently, most ILC algorithms still follow the original ideas of ARIMOTO, in which the iterative-learning-rate is composed by the control error with its derivative and integral values. This kind of algorithms will result in inevitable problems such as huge computation, big storage capacity for algorithm data, and also weak robust. In order to resolve these problems, an improved iterative learning control algorithm with fixed step is proposed here which breaks the primary thought of ARIMOTO. In this algorithm, the control step is set only according to the value of the control error, which could enormously reduce the computation and storage size demanded, also improve the robust of the algorithm by not using the differential coefficient of the iterative learning error. In this paper, the convergence conditions of this proposed fixed step iterative learning algorithm is theoretically analyzed and testified. Then the algorithm is tested through simulation researches on a time-variant object with randomly set disturbance through calculation of step threshold value, algorithm robustness testing,and evaluation of the relation between convergence speed and step size. Finally the algorithm is validated on a valve-serving-cylinder system of a joint robot with time-variant parameters. Experiment results demonstrate the stability of the algorithm and also the relationship between step value and convergence rate. Both simulation and experiment testify the feasibility and validity of the new algorithm proposed here. And it is worth to noticing that this algorithm is simple but with strong robust after improvements, which provides new ideas to the research of iterative learning control algorithms.

文摘This paper aims to solve the robust iterative learning control(ILC)problems for nonlinear time-varying systems in the presence of nonrepetitive uncertainties.A new optimization-based method is proposed to design and analyze adaptive ILC,for which robust convergence analysis via a contraction mapping approach is realized by leveraging properties of substochastic matrices.It is shown that robust tracking tasks can be realized for optimization-based adaptive ILC,where the boundedness of system trajectories and estimated parameters can be ensured,regardless of unknown time-varying nonlinearities and nonrepetitive uncertainties.Two simulation tests,especially implemented for an injection molding process,demonstrate the effectiveness of our robust optimization-based ILC results.
