“…Note that some of the high-order ILCs (Bien and Huh, 1989; Boudria and Gauthier, 2012; Bu et al, 2011; Chen et al, 1997a, 1998; Gunnarsson and NorrlöF, 2006; Li et al, 2012) focus on proportional–integral–derivative (PID)-type control laws, and the control performance is limited by the fixed learning gains that cannot be adapted to change. Beyond that, most of the controller design and analysis are for linear systems (Boudria and Gauthier, 2012; Bu et al, 2011; Chen et al, 1997b; Gunnarsson and NorrlöF, 2006; HäTöNen et al, 2006; Li et al, 2012) or affine nonlinear systems (Bien and Huh, 1989; Chen et al, 1997a, 1998). It is worth pointing out that these methods (Bien and Huh, 1989; Boudria and Gauthier, 2012; Bu et al, 2011; Chen et al, 1997a, 1997b, 1998; Gunnarsson and NorrlöF, 2006; HäTöNen et al, 2006; Li et al, 2012) need to know the model information of the system in actual application.…”
