A Data-Driven Iterative Feedforward Tuning Strategy with a Variable-Gain Feedback Controller for Linear Servo Systems by Jiaqian Fu, Shanhu Li

“…This paper analyzes the effect of the DC gain of the feedback controller on IFFT and proposes an IFFT strategy with a variable-gain feedback controller. This strategy makes the dynamic tracking error due to Coulomb friction behave as a continuous and easy-to-construct window function, which makes the feedforward basis function vector consistent with the dimensionality of the dynamic tracking error. …”
