Intermittent Sampling in Repetitive Control: Exploiting Time-Varying Measurements

The performance increase up to the sensor resolution in repetitive control (RC) invalidates the standard assumption in RC that data is available at equidistant time instances, e.g., in systems with package loss or when exploiting timestamped data from optical encoders. The aim of this paper is to develop an intermittent sampling RC framework for non-equidistant measurements. Sufficient stability conditions are derived that can be verified using non-parametric frequency response function data. This results in a frequency domain design procedure to explicitly address uncertainty. The RC framework is validated on an industrial printbelt setup for which exact non-equidistant measurement data is available.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Team Jan-Willem van Wingerde
