Abstract :

In this paper, the robust convergence of iterative learning control (ILC) in a linear rehabilitation robot with parametric uncertainty is obtained. Today, rehabilitation robots have an essential role in assisting physiotherapists in repairing muscle injuries. Since the uncertainties in rehabilitation robots change with practice in iteration, it is crucial to eliminate the effect of variable parametric uncertainty with iteration. Also, parametric uncertainty in the input and output matrices of a rehabilitation robot model directly affects the convergence of the ILC algorithm, and a small effect on each of these matrices may lead to algorithm divergence. In this paper, first, the law of the ILC algorithm without uncertainty is obtained. Then the robust convergence of this algorithm with a fixed learning gain in the presence of parametric uncertainty is proved. Finally, validation of the results obtained on a rehabilitation robot model is analyzed and evaluated.
