摘要：This paper presents a comparative study between feedforward control (FF) and iterative learning control (ILC) with application to a parallel Delta robot performing repetitive trajectory. In order to improve the tracking trajectory of the Delta robot, a model-based feedforward compensation combined with the proportional derivative (PD) controller is introduced. As the Delta robot is affected by important frictions that are not taken into account in the dynamic model, the performance of the FF can be degraded considerably. To overcome these issues, a model-free control represented by the PD-type ILC controller is used instead the FF compensation. Experimental results show that the two strategies can ensure good tracking performance with better accuracy of ILC.
