Learning for Advanced Motion Control
Iterative Learning Control (ILC) can achieve perfect tracking performance for
mechatronic systems. The aim of this paper is to present an ILC design tutorial
for industrial mechatronic systems. First, a preliminary analysis reveals the
potential performance improvement of ILC prior to its actual implementation.
Second, a frequency domain approach is presented, where fast learning is
achieved through noncausal model inversion, and safe and robust learning is
achieved by employing a contraction mapping theorem in conjunction with
nonparametric frequency response functions. The approach is demonstrated on a
desktop printer. Finally, a detailed analysis of industrial motion systems
leads to several shortcomings that obstruct the widespread implementation of
ILC algorithms. An overview of recently developed algorithms, including
extensions using machine learning algorithms, is outlined that are aimed to
facilitate broad industrial deployment.Comment: 8 pages, 15 figures, IEEE 16th International Workshop on Advanced

Sparse Iterative Learning Control with Application to a Wafer Stage: Achieving Performance, Resource Efficiency, and Task Flexibility
Trial-varying disturbances are a key concern in Iterative Learning Control
(ILC) and may lead to inefficient and expensive implementations and severe
performance deterioration. The aim of this paper is to develop a general
framework for optimization-based ILC that allows for enforcing additional
structure, including sparsity. The proposed method enforces sparsity in a
generalized setting through convex relaxations using norms. The
proposed ILC framework is applied to the optimization of sampling sequences for
resource efficient implementation, trial-varying disturbance attenuation, and
basis function selection. The framework has a large potential in control
applications such as mechatronics, as is confirmed through an application on a
wafer stage.Comment: 12 pages, 14 figure
'Constant in gain Lead in phase' element - Application in precision motion control
This work presents a novel 'Constant in gain Lead in phase' (CgLp) element
using nonlinear reset technique. PID is the industrial workhorse even to this
day in high-tech precision positioning applications. However, Bode's gain phase
relationship and waterbed effect fundamentally limit performance of PID and
other linear controllers. This paper presents CgLp as a controlled nonlinear
element which can be introduced within the framework of PID allowing for wide
applicability and overcoming linear control limitations. Design of CgLp with
generalized first order reset element (GFORE) and generalized second order
reset element (GSORE) (introduced in this work) is presented using describing
function analysis. A more detailed analysis of reset elements in frequency
domain compared to existing literature is first carried out for this purpose.
Finally, CgLp is integrated with PID and tested on one of the DOFs of a planar
precision positioning stage. Performance improvement is shown in terms of
tracking, steady-state precision and bandwidth
