Iterative learning control (ILC) obtains a desired input that exactly generates the desired output through repetitions of the same tasks. In this paper, an experiment of the adjoint-type ILC is carried out by using a single-link flexible arm. Experimental results show that even if the single-link flexible arm is modeled by a simple method and has some uncertainties, exact output tracking is achieved. Moreover, the pre-actuation which is remarkable aspect of the adjoint-type ILC is observed.
