SO-PSO-ILC: An Innovative Hybrid Algorithm for Precise Robotic Arm Trajectory Tracking
Open Access
Abstract
This paper proposes Social-only Particle Swarm Optimization-based Iterative Learning Control (SO-PSO-ILC) to address the limitations of conventional Iterative Learning Control (ILC) in model dependency and manual parameter tuning. The proposed method autonomously optimizes the learning gain using a social-only PSO variant. Comparative results on four distinct trajectories demonstrate superior performance: SO-PSO-ILC achieved a final RMSE of 0.0008 m in the linear path test and a precision 4.6 times higher than the baseline in the waveform path test. It also exhibits the fastest convergence rate, outperforming PSO-ILC in tracking accuracy and computational complexity while avoiding the convergence issues observed in WSA-ILC. The simulation results validate that swarm-optimized ILC provides a robust framework for repetitive tasks requiring high accuracy.Keywords
