One of the I-MECH building blocks (named as BB9) is about iterative and repetitive control. Do you have a system that exhibits periodic errors in time/position domain? Then BB9 within the I-MECH Center, can be of service! To learn about the principles of repetitive control, the High-Tech Institute brings this training. The course explains developments in control, from classical feedback and feedforward control towards advanced control techniques. These developments include repetitive control,...

I-MECH has attended the American Control Conference (ACC) in Philadelphia, USA. A full-paper entitled: `Feedforward Motion Control: From Batch-to-Batch Learning to Online Parameter Estimation’ is published (you can find it here). In this paper, two methods are presented and analyzed for optimization of feedforward control parameters from data in real-time, which may lead to a major performance benefit as shown in the paper. This is an active research topic within I-MECH, specifically in...
