Conclusions
Dynamic notch L filter gives 28.3% improvement over P-type 250 Hz cutoff
•Time-varying filters (Q and L) can give better performance than fixed filters
•For L, choosing a filter can give better performance than choosing a scalar

Thesis contributions
• Applying ILC for high precision control of
systems with vibrations
• Making ILC tuning results applicable to
multiple trajectories
• Compensating for force ripple disturbance
through IFT.
Experiment
• One complication: force ripple
• Force ripple is NOT LTI so it cannot be scaled and time-shifted.
• Nor is force ripple disturbance always the same : it depends on the
reference trajectory
