Abstract

Two types of linear digital repetitive control systems are designed and analyzed to reduce the error spectrum, including not only harmonic but also non-harmonic components. First, a novel gain adjusting algorithm is suggested for conventional and modified repetitive control systems with modelling uncertainties, in which the gain of the repetitive controller is adjusted to reduce the infinite norm of error in the frequency domain. For this, the relative error transfer function is newly defined as the ratio of the error spectrum for the system with a repetitive controller to the error spectrum for the system without a repetitive controller. Secondly, as an alternative to a repetitive control system with the gain adjusting, a repetitive control system with higher-order repetitive function is analyzed and designed, where the weightings of the higher-order repetitive function are determined in such a way that the infinite norm of the relative error transfer function is minimized. To show the validity of the proposed methods, computer simulation results are illustrated for a typical disk-drive head-positioning servo system.

    In addition, the assumption on the slow variation of the period is not valid in various applications, including the walking piezo actuator in this paper. An alternative method is high-order RC, which uses multiple memory loops to provide robustness against small variations in the period time of repetitive disturbances (Chang, Suh, & Kim, 1995; Pipeleers, Demeulenaere, De Schutter, & Swevers, 2008; Steinbuch, 2002). Another line of research considers systems that exhibit spatially repetitive disturbances, e.g., disturbances that are periodic with respect to a rotation angle in motor/gear transmission systems (Chen & Chiu, 2004) and internal combustion engines (Sun, 2004).
