Study on Iterative Learning Controller with a Delayed Output Feedback

In this paper, a novel type of iterative learning controller is studied. The proposed learning algorithm utilizes not only the error signal of the previous iteration but also the delayed error signal of the current iteration. The delayed error signal is adopted to improve the convergence speed. The convergence condition is examined and the result shows that the proposed learning algorithm shows the fast convergence speed under the same convergence condition of the traditional iterative learning algorithm. The simulation examples are presented to confirm the validity of the proposed ILC algorithm.
