Iterative Learning Control – Part 2

In the previous post I explained the ILC controllers and compared them to the conventional feedback controllers. In this post I show a simple example that employs an ILC. Check the following simple, linear plant: In this system, is the … Continue reading

Iterative Learning Control – Part 1

Iterative Learning Control (ILC) is used for improving the transient response in systems that perform repetitively. ILC tries to improve the response by adjusting the input to the plant based on the error observed in the previous iteration. A conventional … Continue reading

Probability – Basic Lesson 4

In the previous lesson, we saw the definition of Expectation. Here the definition of Variance (and Standard Deviation) is given. Variance means that how much variability is in around its mean value (expected value) , and it can be written … Continue reading
