Comparative Study On First And Second Order ILC -- Frequency Domain Analysis And Experiments

Authors:

M. Norrlöf,

Volume: 1, Page 3415 Paper number 1108

Abstract:

Aspects on the behavior of a general second order iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm is presented from a frequency domain perspective. This includes stability as well as performance and robustness issues. The basis for the analysis is linear iterative systems and these are briefly described. A design algorithm for second order ILC schemes is proposed and analyzed both theoretically as well as in an experiment. In the experiment, done on a commercial industrial robot control system, the second order ILC design is compared with a first order ILC design. The result from both the analysis and the experiment is that the second order design is not better with respect to performance or robustness.

Approximate Value Iteration With Randomized Policies

Authors:

Daniela P. de Farias, Benjamin Van Roy,

Volume: 1, Page 3421 Paper number 9032

Abstract:

The curse of dimensionality in dynamic programming prevents in most problems of practical interest the exact computation of the value function. In this paper, we study the fixed points of approximate value iteration, a simple algorithm that combats the curse of dimensionality by generating approximate iterates of the classical value iteration algorithm in the span of a set of prespecified basis functions. We show that, in general, the modified dynamic programming operator need not possess a fixed point, and therefore, approximate value iteration should not be expected to converge. However, by using a class of randomized policies, approximate value iteration is guaranteed to possess at least one fixed point. We finally discuss the link between approximate value iteration and temporal-difference learning (TD), and show that the existence of fixed points for approximate value iteration implies existence of stationary points for the ordinary differential equation approximated by a version of TD that incorporates ``exploration''.

Iterative Optimal Control of Liquid Slosh in an Industrial Packaging Machine

Authors:

Mattias Grundelius,

Volume: 1, Page 3427 Paper number 1668

Abstract:

This paper presents an iterative approach to optimal control when modeling errors are present. The problem considered is movement of open containers containing liquid in an industrial packaging machine. The goal is to move as fast as possible without too much slosh. There is no measurement of the slosh available in the machine, therefore open loop control via the acceleration reference is the only possibility to control the slosh. However it is possible to measure the slosh in an experimental testbed. This can be used to offline determine the acceleration reference. An algorithm for iterative optimal control is derived that uses experimental data to refine the solution of the optimal control problem.

A Learning Model for Intelligent Agents Based on Classifier Systems and Approximate Reasoning

Authors:

Jalal Baghdadchi,

Volume: 1, Page 3433 Paper number 2143

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to synthesize a learning model capable of successful and effective operation in hard-to-model environments. Here, we are presenting a structurally simple and functionally flexible model. The model follows the learning patterns experienced by the humans. The novelty of the adaptive model lies on the knowledge base, dual learning strategy, and flexible reasoning. The knowledge base is allowed to grow for as long as the agent lives. Learning is brought about by the interaction between two qualitatively different activities leaving long-term and short-term marks on the behavior of the agent. The agent reaches conclusions using approximate reasoning. The focus of the model, the agent, starts life with a blank knowledge base. It learns as it lives. Classifiers are used to represent individual experiences. We demonstrate the functioning of the model through a case study.

Internal Model-Based Robust Iterative Learning Control for Uncertain LTI Systems

Authors:

Abdelhamid Tayebi, Marek. B. Zaremba,

Volume: 1, Page 3439 Paper number 1672

Abstract:

This paper investigates the combination of an iterative learning control (ILC) with an internal model control (IMC) for uncertain linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. The convergence of the iterative process is investigated and reformulated as a general robust control problem. For a certain choice of the IMC and ILC filters, we prove that the condition of convergence to zero of the iterative process is nothing but the robust performance condition of the IMC structure. Using the general robust control formulation, we propose a design procedure for the ILC-IMC filters using the mu-synthesis approach.

Iterative Learning Control Using Adjoint Systems For Nonlinear Non-Minimum Phase Systems

Authors:

Sogo Takuya, Kouji Kinoshita, Norihiko Adachi,

Volume: 1, Page 3445 Paper number 9113

Abstract:

Most of iterative learning control (ILC) using causal updating law obtains the input given by Silverman's or Hirshorn's causal inversion. When the objective system is that of a non-minimum phase, we cannot use those methods because the input is exponentially increasing. To overcome this difficulty, an approach called stable inversion was proposed to give a non-causal but bounded input instead. However, no simple iterative method to obtain this non-causal input was proposed. In this paper, from a viewpoint of minimization, we develop a simple iterative method for the stable inversion toward ILC for non-minimum phase systems.

Decentralized Stabilization of Fuzzy Large-Scale Systems

Authors:

Feng Hsiag Hsiao, Jiing Dong Hwang, Lin Goei Shiau,

Volume: 1, Page 3447 Paper number 130

Abstract:

A stability criterion in terms of Lyapunov's direct method is derived in this paper to guarantee the asymptotic stability of fuzzy large-scale systems. Based on this criterion and the decentralized control scheme, a set of fuzzy controllers is synthesized via the technique of parallel distributed compensation (PDC) to stabilize a fuzzy large-scale system which consists of a few interconnected subsystems represented by Takagi- Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models. Finally, a numerical example with simulations is given to illustrate the results.
