In this paper, an overview of fractional‐order iterative learning control (FOILC) is presented including main developments of this field since 2001. Many theoretical and experimental results are provided to show the advantages of FOILC such as the improvement of transient and steady‐state performances. Some unique characters of fractional‐order operators are illustrated to show the new features and techniques of FOILC. A number of unsolved problems are briefly presented.
