We demonstrate that unstable periodic orbits embedded in the experimental chaotic attractor determined by the Taylor-Couette flow can be stabilized with a time-delay autosynchronization algorithm. The optimal parameters of the feedback and their dependence on the control parameter are shown as experimental results.
