Neural Net Backlash Compensation With Hebbian Tuning By Dynamic Inversion

Authors:

Rastko R. Selmic, Frank L. Lewis,

Volume: 1, Page 1742 Paper number 3101

Abstract:

Neural network compensation scheme is presented for the class of nonlinear systems with backlash nonlinearity. The compensator uses the backstepping technique with neural networks (NN) for inverting the backlash nonlinearity in the feedforward path. Instead of a derivative, which cannot be implemented, a filtered derivative is used. Full rigorous stability proofs are given using filtered derivative. Compared with adaptive backstepping control schemes, we do not require the unknown parameters to be linear parametrizable. No regression matrices are needed. The technique provides a general procedure for using NN to determine the dynamic preinverse of an invertible dynamical system. A modified Hebbian algorithm is presented for NN tuning which yields a stable closed-loop system. Using this method yields a relatively simple adaptation structure and offers computational advantages over gradient descent based algorithms.

A Neural Network Based Learning Controller for Robot Manipulators

Authors:

Chiang-Ju Chien, Li-Chen Fu,

Volume: 1, Page 1748 Paper number 3102

Abstract:

In this paper, an iterative learning control using neural network design is presented for robot manipulators with input disturbance and re-initialization uncertainty. A sampled-data feedforward learning algorithm is designed under a feedback configuration and a rigorous proof via a discrete approach is given to study the learning performance. It is shown that under a sufficient condition on the learning gain, convergence and robustness of tracking error in the iteration domain can be guaranteed at each sampling instant if sampling period is small enough. Since the implementation of learning gain depends on the information of input-output coupling matrix of robot manipulator, a neural network is proposed to solve the implementation problem. A training procedure is applied to estimate the robot manipulator by using only input-output data. The neurons, equivalent to the premise and consequent parameters of a fuzzy system, are tuned by gradient descent and least squares estimate. This will give an initial setting of the neural-network based iterative learning controller. During the control iterations, the neural network can still be tuned for each iteration in order to improve the approximation accuracy and increase the tracking speed.

Helicopter Flight Control Design Using A Learning Control Approach

Authors:

Russell Enns, Jennie Si,

Volume: 1, Page 1754 Paper number 3103

Abstract:

In this paper we introduce a new neural learning control mechanism for helicopter flight control design. The significance of our contribution is twofold. First neural dynamic programming (NDP) is in its early development stage and successful applications to date have been limited to simple systems, typically those possessing only a single control and a handful of states. With our industrial scale helicopter model, we consider a very realistic class of complex design problem. To accommodate such complex systems we introduce the concept of a trim network which is seamlessly integrated into our NDP control structure and is trained using our NDP control structure. Second, we introduce a new class of design methodologies to the helicopter control system design community. This approach is expected to be effective in dealing with real-time learning applications such as reconfigurable control. The paper consists of a comprehensive treatise of NDP and extensive simulation studies of NDP designs for controlling an Apache helicopter. All of our designs are tested using FLYRT, a sophisticated industry-scale non-linear validated model of the Apache helicopter. Though illustrated for helicopters, our NDP control system framework should be applicable to general control systems.

Adaptive NN Control of Dynamic Systems with Unknown Dynamic Friction

Authors:

Shuzhi Sam Ge, Tong-Heng Lee, Jing Wang,

Volume: 1, Page 1760 Paper number 3104

Abstract:

In this paper, based on the dynamic LuGre friction model, adaptive NN controllers are presented by using neural networks to parameterize the unknown characteristic function or the unknown dynamic friction bounding function respectively. Using Lyapunov synthesis, the adaptive control algorithms are designed to achieve globally asymptotic tracking of the desired trajectory and guarantee the boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop. Intensive simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Position Control of a PM Stepper Motor Using Neural Networks

Authors:

Gang Feng,

Volume: 1, Page 1766 Paper number 3105

Abstract:

This paper considers position control of a PM stepper motor. A new control scheme is proposed based on a kind of exact linearization controller and a neural network based compensating controller. This scheme takes advantages of simplicity of the model based control approach and uses the neural network controller to compensate for the motor modeling uncertainties. The neural network is trained on line based on Lyapunov theory and thus its convergence is guaranteed.

Neural Network Enhanced Output Regulation in Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

Authors:

Jin Wang, Jie Huang,

Volume: 1, Page 1770 Paper number 3106

Abstract:

The problem of designing a control law to achieve asymptotic tracking and disturbance rejection in a nonlinear plant where both the reference and disturbance signals are generated by an exosystem is called nonlinear output regulation problem. It is known that solvability of this problem relies on the existence of a feedforward function defined by a set of mixed nonlinear partial and algebraic equations called regulator equations. Previous approaches to solving the output regulation problem call for the solution of the regulator equations. However, solving the regulator equations is difficult due to the nonlinearity and complexity. This paper proposes a novel approximation approach to solving the output regulation problem by directly approximating the feedforward function using a class of artificial neural networks. Further, a control configuration is developed that allows the reduction of the tracking error by the on-line adjustment of the parameters of the neural networks. The major advantages of our proposed approach over the previous approaches include 1) the precise knowledge of the plant is not needed, and 2) computation complexity is significantly reduced. The effectiveness of our approach are demonstrated by two well known nonlinear benchmark control problems
