Iterative Learning Control for Remote Control Systems with Communication Delay and Data Dropout

Abstract EN

Iterative learning control (ILC) is applied to remote control systems in which communication channels from the plant to the controller are subject to random data dropout and communication delay.

Through analysis, it is shown that ILC can achieve asymptotical convergence along the iteration axis, as far as the probabilities of the data dropout and communication delay are known a priori.

Owing to the essence of feedforward-based control ILC can perform trajectory-tracking tasks while both the data-dropout and the one-step delay phenomena are taken into consideration.

Theoretical analysis and simulations validate the effectiveness of the ILC algorithm for network-based control tasks.
