Abstract

Repetitive control (RC) has shown to achieve superior rejection of periodic disturbances. Many nonlinear systems are subject to repeating disturbances. The aim of this article is to develop a continuous-time RC design with stability guarantees for nonlinear Lur'e-type systems. Approximate output tracking is achieved by combining an internal model, consisting of a finite number of linear oscillators with frequencies at the reference frequency and at its multiples, with a stabilizer that guarantees a convergence property of the closed-loop system. The developed RC approach is applied to a nonlinear mechanical ventilation system for intensive care units (ICUs), which can be modeled as a Lur'e-type system. The experimental study confirms that the RC scheme is able to successfully follow the desired target pressure profile to properly support the ventilation needs of an adult patient.
