Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) usually exhibit strong hysteresis nonlinearity and time-varying features that bring PAMs modeling and control difficulties. To characterize the hysteresis relation between PAMs' displacement and fluid pressure, a long short term memory (LSTM) neural network model and an adaptive Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model are proposed. Experiments show that both models perform well under the load free conditions, and the adaptive T-S Fuzzy model can furtherly adapt to the change of load with the online adaptation ability. With the concise expression and satisfactory performance of the adaptive T-S Fuzzy model, a model predictive controller is designed and tested. Experiments show that the model predictive controller has a good performance on tracking the given references.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
