Iterative learning control (ILC) is a control technique that is best suited for systems that perform repetitive tasks, starting from the same initial conditions each time. This overview uses a quadcopter example to demonstrate ILC implementation in Simulink® for trajectory tracking in the presence of wind disturbances.
