Abstract
Nonlinear iterative learning control (ILC) and nonlinear repetitive control (RC) approaches introduce additional design freedom compared to linear time-invariant (LTI) approaches. Since the actual performance improvements depend on the parameters used in the nonlinearity, the aim of this paper is to optimize these parameters during the learning process. With optimal parameters, the nonlinear algorithms can outperform their LTI counterparts, for example by achieving fast attenuation of repeating disturbances without amplifying non-repeating disturbances. In this paper, we present the algorithm for the automatic learning/tuning process and validate it using simulations of an industrial flatbed printer.
