Abstract

Industrial servo systems usually have high gear ratio reducers, which introduce flexibility and transmission errors. The consequential vibrations and compliance bring difficulties to many demanding applications. For applications in which the servos move repetitively, iterative learning control (ILC) is a powerful tool to improve performance. An intuitive implementation of ILC for flexibility compensation involves combining a torque ILC with a motor reference ILC. This paper explains why such a direct combination does not work well. A systematic synthesis method is introduced to address the coupling between torque learning and reference learning. In addition, a robust control method is proposed to address system uncertainties. The pro- posed method is demonstrated using a servo control example.
