This monograph studies the design of robust, monotonically-convergent it- ative learning controllers for discrete-time systems. Iterative learning control (ILC) is well-recognized as an e?cient method that o?ers signi?cant p- formance improvement for systems that operate in an iterative or repetitive fashion (e. g., robot arms in manufacturing or batch processes in an industrial setting). Though the fundamentals of ILC design have been well-addressed in the literature, two key problems have been the subject of continuing - search activity. First, many ILC design strategies assume nominal knowledge of the system to be controlled. Only recently has a comprehensive approach to robust ILC analysis and design been established to handle the situation where the plant model is uncertain. Second, it is well-known that many ILC algorithms do not produce monotonic convergence, though in applications monotonic convergencecan be essential. This monograph addresses these two keyproblems by providingauni?ed analysisanddesignframeworkforrobust, monotonically-convergent ILC. The particular approach used throughout is to consider ILC design in the iteration domain, rather than in the time domain. Using a lifting technique, the two-dimensionalILC system, whichhas dynamics in both the time and - erationdomains,istransformedintoaone-dimensionalsystem,withdynamics only in the iteration domain. The so-called super-vector framework resulting from this transformation is used to analyze both robustness and monotonic convergence for typical uncertainty models, including parametric interval - certainties, frequency-like uncertainty in the iteration domain, and iterati- domain stochastic uncertainty.

Über Autor(innen)

Hyo-Sung Ahn has research interests in the areas of robust iterative learning control, periodic adaptive learning control, networked control systems, neural networks, mobile robotics, navigation, biomechatronics, and aerospace engineering. He was research engineer in Space Development and Research Center, Korea Aerospace Indusstries LTD, Korea, and Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium, USA. He received the M.S. degree from the University of North Dakota in Aerospace Engineering and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Utah State University. Dr. Ahn, with his co-authors, has been the primary developer of the ideas in the monograph and has a deep understanding of the design of iterative learning control systems, especially as regards robustness.

Professor Moore is the G.A. Dobelman Distinguished Chair and Professor of Engineering in the Division of Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Louisiana State University and the University of Southern California, respectively. He received the Ph.D. in electrical engineering, with an emphasis in control theory, from Texas A&M University. Most recently he was a senior scientist at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory, where he worked in the area of unattended air vehicles, cooperative control, and autonomous systems (2004-2005). He was previously an Associate Professor at Idaho State University (1989-1998) and a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Utah State University, where he was the Director of the Center for Self-Organizing and Intelligent Systems, directing multi-disciplinary research teams of students and professionals developing a variety of autonomous robots for government and commercial applications (1998 -2004). He also worked in industry for three years pre-Ph.D as a member of the technical staff at Hughes Aircraft Company. His general research interests include iterative learning control theory, autonomous systems and robotics, and applications of control to industrial and mechatronic systems. He is the author of the research monograph Iterative Learning Control for Deterministic Systems, published by Springer-Verlag in 1993, and co-author of the book Sensing, Modeling, and Control of Gas Metal Arc Welding, published by Elsevier in 2003. He is a professional engineer, involved in several professional societies and editorial activities, and is interested in engineering education pedagogy. Of particular relevance for the proposed monograph, Dr. Moore has been a seminal contributor and leader in the field of ILC. His early work in the field developed the idea of the supervector approach, and he has studied the problem of monotonic convergence, and he initiated the idea of studying robustness in the iteration domain. He has also been active in organizing ILC workshops, invited sessions on ILC at conferences, and editing special issues of journals. His insights on the ILC problem will directly influence the contents of the proposed monograph.

Dr YangQuan Chen is presently an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Acting Director for CSOIS (Center for Self-Organizing and Intelligent Systems, www.csois.usu.edu) at Utah State University. He obtained his Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 1998, an MS from Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) in 1989, and a BS from University of Science and Technology of Beijing (USTB) in 1985. Dr Chen has 12 US patents granted and 2 US patent applications published, most related to the implementation of ILC algorithms, which lends special insight into the ILC application examples found in the mongraph. He has published more than 200 academic papers and (co)authored more than 50 industrial reports.
