Learning control device, learning control method, and program product utilizing feedback signals

A learning control method comprising:

• outputting a coefficient;
• generating a feedback signal on the basis of a tracking error for a target state of a control target and outputting the feedback signal, the control target operating in response to an input control signal and outputting an operation result state during a learning trial, the feedback signal being used for causing the operation result state of the control target to track the target state, the feedback signal being generated such that a control target waveform represented by transition of an output signal representing the operation result state becomes a waveform obtained by calculating the coefficient on the whole of a base control target waveform determined in advance;
• outputting a calculation result obtained by calculating the coefficient on a correction value, which is stored in a memory and used in the learning trial, to a feedback communication path by which the tracking error according to the operation result state of the control target is input;
• and
• updating the correction value stored in the memory in accordance with a signal communicated through the feedback communication path.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which programmed instructions are recorded, the programmed instructions causing a computer to execute processing of:

• outputting a coefficient;
