This article gives an overview of the theoretical basis of the norm-optimal approach to iterative learning control followed by results that describe more recent work which has experimentally benchmarked the performance that can be achieved. The remainder of the article then describes its actual application to a physical process and a very novel application in stroke rehabilitation.
