Data-Enabled Predictive Repetitive Control
This work introduces the Data-Enabled Predictive Repetitive Control (DeePRC) algorithm, a direct data-driven approach for repetitive LTI systems. The DeePRC learns from previous iterations to improve its performance and achieves the optimal cost. By utilizing a tube-based variation of the DeePRC scheme, we propose a two-stage approach that enables safe active exploration using a left-kernel-based input disturbance design. This method generates informative trajectories to enrich the historical data, which extends the maximum achievable prediction horizon and leads to faster iteration convergence. In addition, we present an end-to-end formulation of the two-stage approach, integrating the disturbance design procedure into the planning phase. We showcase the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms on a numerical experiment.
