The relatively simple control strategy can decrease the complexity of the ultrasonic motor system and increase the cost performance. The nonlinear iterative learning control algorithm is simple, the control parameters can be determined according to little experimental knowledge. According to the control characteristics of ultrasonic motor, the nonlinear iterative learning control algorithm is improved and the nonlinear iterative learning control strategy of motor’s speed is designed. Experiments show that the motor system has good iterative learning capacity, the control effect is improved generally in the repeated learning process and the control strategy is simple and effective.
