ABSTRACTFeedforward control enables high performance of a motion system. Recently, algorithms have been proposed that eliminate bias errors in tuning the parameters of a feedforward controller. The aim of this paper is to develop a new algorithm that combines unbiased parameter estimates with optimal accuracy in terms of variance. A simulation study is presented to illustrate the poor accuracy properties of pre-existing algorithms compared to the proposed approach. Experimental results obtained on an industrial nanopositioning system confirm the practical relevance of the proposed method.
