A brief review of neural networks based learning and control and their applications for robots
As an imitation of the biological nervous systems, neural networks (NN), which are characterized with powerful learning ability, have been employed in a wide range of applications, such as control of complex nonlinear systems, optimization, system identification and patterns recognition etc. This article aims to bring a brief review of the state-of-art NN for the complex nonlinear systems. Recent progresses of NNs in both theoretical developments and practical applications are investigated and surveyed. Specifically, NN based robot learning and control applications were further reviewed, including NN based robot manipulator control, NN based human robot interaction and NN based behavior recognition and generation
Descriptive And Review Study Adaptive Control Of Nonlinear Systems In Discrete Time
Nowadays, analyzing different control systems is a must for virtually all types of modern industries and factories. Analyzing these control systems allows optimizing and streamlining processes, which in many cases are carried out manually, leading to large errors, delays and costly processes.
Continuous-time adaptive control of nonlinear systems has been an area of increasing research activity [1] and globally, regulation and tracking results have been obtained for several types of nonlinear systems [2].
However, the adaptive technique is gradually becoming more dynamic after 25 years of research and experimentation. Important theoretical results on stability and structure have been established. There is still much theoretical work to be done [3]. On the other hand, adaptive control in discrete-time nonlinear systems has received much less attention, in part because of the difficulties associated with the sampled data of nonlinear systems [2].
Thus, it is in some theories where adaptive control laws are implemented admitting the intervening nonlinearities in the real system [4] where investigations about the regulation of the system are created. The purpose of this is to implement a very simple adaptive control law and to check the convergence of the closed loop.
However, Zhongsheng Hou, author of several well-regarded papers proposes a model-free adaptive control approach for a class of discrete-time nonlinear SISO systems with a systematic framework [5]-[6]
Feedback control by online learning an inverse model
A model, predictor, or error estimator is often used by a feedback controller to control a plant. Creating such a model is difficult when the plant exhibits nonlinear behavior. In this paper, a novel online learning control framework is proposed that does not require explicit knowledge about the plant. This framework uses two learning modules, one for creating an inverse model, and the other for actually controlling the plant. Except for their inputs, they are identical. The inverse model learns by the exploration performed by the not yet fully trained controller, while the actual controller is based on the currently learned model. The proposed framework allows fast online learning of an accurate controller. The controller can be applied on a broad range of tasks with different dynamic characteristics. We validate this claim by applying our control framework on several control tasks: 1) the heating tank problem (slow nonlinear dynamics); 2) flight pitch control (slow linear dynamics); and 3) the balancing problem of a double inverted pendulum (fast linear and nonlinear dynamics). The results of these experiments show that fast learning and accurate control can be achieved. Furthermore, a comparison is made with some classical control approaches, and observations concerning convergence and stability are made
Neural Modeling and Control of Diesel Engine with Pollution Constraints
The paper describes a neural approach for modelling and control of a
turbocharged Diesel engine. A neural model, whose structure is mainly based on
some physical equations describing the engine behaviour, is built for the
rotation speed and the exhaust gas opacity. The model is composed of three
interconnected neural submodels, each of them constituting a nonlinear
multi-input single-output error model. The structural identification and the
parameter estimation from data gathered on a real engine are described. The
neural direct model is then used to determine a neural controller of the
engine, in a specialized training scheme minimising a multivariable criterion.
Simulations show the effect of the pollution constraint weighting on a
trajectory tracking of the engine speed. Neural networks, which are flexible
and parsimonious nonlinear black-box models, with universal approximation
capabilities, can accurately describe or control complex nonlinear systems,
with little a priori theoretical knowledge. The presented work extends optimal
neuro-control to the multivariable case and shows the flexibility of neural
optimisers. Considering the preliminary results, it appears that neural
networks can be used as embedded models for engine control, to satisfy the more
and more restricting pollutant emission legislation. Particularly, they are
able to model nonlinear dynamics and outperform during transients the control
schemes based on static mappings.Comment: 15 page
