Stabilising solutions to a class of nonlinear optimal state tracking problems using radial basis function networks

Zahir Ahmida, Abdelfettah Charef, Victor Becerra (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A controller architecture for nonlinear systems described by Gaussian RBF neural networks is proposed. The controller is a stabilising solution to a class of nonlinear optimal state tracking problems and consists of a combination of a state feedback stabilising regulator and a feedforward neuro-controller. The state feedback stabilising regulator is computed on-line by transforming the tracking problem into a more manageable regulation one, which is solved within the framework of a nonlinear...

On the interaction between theory experiments and simulation in developing practical learning control algorithms

Richard Longman (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Iterative learning control (ILC) develops controllers that iteratively adjust the command to a feedback control system in order to converge to zero tracking error following a specific desired trajectory. Unlike optimal control and other control methods, the iterations are made using the real world in place of a computer model. If desired, the learning process can be conducted both in the time domain during each iteration and in repetitions, making ILC a 2D system. Because ILC iterates...

A nonlinear dynamic inversion-based neurocontroller for unmanned combat aerial vehicles during aerial refuelling

Jimoh Olarewaju Pedro, Aarti Panday, Laurent Dala (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper presents the development of modelling and control strategies for a six-degree-of-freedom, unmanned combat aerial vehicle with the inclusion of the centre of gravity position travel during the straight-leg part of an in-flight refuelling manoeuvre. The centre of gravity position travel is found to have a parabolic variation with an increasing mass of aircraft. A nonlinear dynamic inversion-based neurocontroller is designed for the process under investigation. Three radial basis...

Oto Tezak (1999)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Knowledge based controller for a balance control model is presented in this paper. The design of the controller was based on the human control of the same process. Developed controller is tested by means of simulation and operation on the laboratory balance control model. The simulation results of the controller as well as a statistical description of the experiments with developed controller and human control is presented in the paper. Verification is based on experiments with an intelligent...

Designing a ship course controller by applying the adaptive backstepping method

Anna Witkowska, Roman Śmierzchalski (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The article discusses the problem of designing a proper and efficient adaptive course-keeping control system for a seagoing ship based on the adaptive backstepping method. The proposed controller in the design stage takes into account the dynamic properties of the steering gear and the full nonlinear static maneuvering characteristic. The adjustable parameters of the achieved nonlinear control structure were tuned up by using the genetic algorithm in order to optimize the system performance....

Dynamic external force feedback loop control of a robot manipulator using a neural compensator - Application to the trajectory following in an unknown environment

Farid Ferguene, Redouane Toumi (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Force/position control strategies provide an effective framework to deal with tasks involving interaction with the environment. One of these strategies proposed in the literature is external force feedback loop control. It fully employs the available sensor measurements by operating the control action in a full dimensional space without using selection matrices. The performance of this control strategy is affected by uncertainties in both the robot dynamic model and environment stiffness....

Input constraints handling in an MPC/feedback linearization scheme

Jiamei Deng, Victor M. Becerra, Richard Stobart (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The combination of model predictive control based on linear models (MPC) with feedback linearization (FL) has attracted interest for a number of years, giving rise to MPC+FL control schemes. An important advantage of such schemes is that feedback linearizable plants can be controlled with a linear predictive controller with a fixed model. Handling input constraints within such schemes is difficult since simple bound contraints on the input become state dependent because of the nonlinear...
