D type on line learning control for a class of nonlinear systems

A D-type iterative learning control for a class of time varying nonlinear system is studied. Then, a practical learning algorithm is given, and a sufficient condition is presented to guarantee the system output converges precisely to the desired output. It should be noted that the control variables do not appear in the output equation, and no precise model of the dynamical system is required. Unlike the existing results, not only the input but also the iterative initial state are learned in this iterative algorithm, and the output error in each iteration is used to design the iterative law on line. Therefore, the iterative initial state may be obtained only by the desired output and partial information of the system. This algorithm is easy to implement in practical engineering, and thus the shortcomings of the existing results are avoided. Finally, the result is used to a robot system, and experiment shows that the convergence speed of this algorithm is increased compared with off line algorithms, and the conclusion is very effective in pratical systems.
