What you have implemented is a sort of proportional velocity controller. In turn, this controller can be seen as a pure integral position unit. The presence of the integral explains why you're able to reach for the setpoint with no steady-state error.
I can argue that it is somehow expected that the tilt joint responds slightly worse than the pan joint with ...

I can calculate u without knowing a˙. Is it the right way to do it?
Sure!
Moreover, the control system contains other modules such as the plant dynamics x=Gu and feedback control ub=Ky, where u=uf+ub. Can I discrete these modules one by one and then synthesize them?
Usually, we tend to first synthesize the controller in the s-domain and then discretize ...

To the principal question, "can Zeno behavior exist in real systems?" the answer is no.
Real systems don't do any infinite anything. The Quantum Zeno Effect, a.k.a. Turing paradox, is a purely quantum phenomenon. In this robotics forum, real systems are macroscopic, and macroscopic systems don't do any quantum anything. Hence, there are no examples ...

What a great idea! Here are some things I'd look out for, based on my experience tuning the pianos I have had over the years. (Not that I'm a pro, just trying to postpone calling in the pro.)
The tuning pins stick in place (obviously, otherwise they would immediately untwist!). A tuner must apply some torque to a pin, just to get it unstuck, before actually ...

While matching up your code against the Stanford paper I did some rewriting, which I pasted below. The handling of ref and arr were pretty confusing, so I introduced somewhat more transparent terms. Also I tried to follow the paper's nomenclature although I chose names for some anonymous quantities.
It's generally a "code smell" when you find ...

Took some time but this right here might be the solution to the problem. I did this by hand so I hope the handwriting is not a problem. Thanks to Chuck for the help! :)
