“…Iterative learning control (ILC), originally proposed to control robot arms by Arimoto, is an advanced control strategy which mimics the human learning mechanism and, therefore, has the capability of improving the control performance from trail to trail without much requirement for prior process knowledge. Due to good control performance and applicability, this control scheme has been studied extensively in recently decades − with its application extending from mechanical systems to many batch or repetitive processes, such as batch chemical reactors, , biomaterial applications, , semiconductor manufacturing, , pharmaceutical engineering, , polymer processing, , etc.…”
