This paper presents a nonlinear iterative learning control (NILC) for nonlinear time‐varying systems. An algorithm of a new strategy for the NILC implementation is proposed. This algorithm ensures that trajectory‐tracking errors of the proposed NILC, when implemented, are bounded by a given error norm bound. A special feature of the algorithm is that the trial‐time interval is finite but not fixed as it is for the other iterative learning algorithms. A sufficient condition for convergence and robustness of the bounded‐error learning procedure is derived. With respect to the bounded‐error and standard learning processes applied to a virtual robot, simulation results are presented in order to verify maximal tracking errors, convergence and applicability of the proposed learning control.
This paper presents a model-based nonlinear iterative learning control (NILC) for nonlinear multiple-input and multiple-output mechanical systems of robotic manipulators. An algorithm of a new strategy for the NILC implementation is proposed. This algorithm ensures that trajectory-tracking errors of the proposed NILC, when implemented, are bounded by a given error norm bound. Both standard and bounded-error learning control laws with feedback controllers attached are considered. The NILC synthesis is based on a dynamic model of a six degrees of freedom robotic manipulator. The dynamic model includes viscous and Coulomb friction and input generalized torques are bounded. With respect to the bounded-error and standard learning processes applied to a virtual PUMA 560 robot (Unimation, Inc. Danburry, CT, USA), simulation results are presented in order to verify maximal tracking errors, convergence and applicability of the proposed learning control.
