Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Iterative learning control (ILC) is a technique which can be used to control systems operating in a repetitive mode with the additional requirement that a specified output trajectory defined over a finite interval is followed to a high precision. It has applications across many areas and is closely related to a number of other design methodologies, principally repetitive control. This proposal has two major general objectives which aim to both broaden the theoretical scope of ILC and supply essential benchmarking data for the performance of ILC schemes both stand alone and comparatively. The latter aspect will be tackled by the development and commissioning of an experimental facility, based on preliminary work by the 1st Southampton proposer, in the form of a reconfigurable multi-axis conveyor system. The former aspect will follow on from previous ground breaking research in this general area by the other proposers. A key aim here is to develop a mature ILC theory for processes with highly unknown and/or nonlinear dynamics, i.e. adaptive ILC. Where appropriate, results from the experimental part will be used to guide the directions of the theoretical investigations.
