PD Control Compensation Based on a Cascade Neural Network Applied to a Robot Manipulator

Abstract

A Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller is commonly used to carry out tasks like position tracking in the industrial robot manipulator controller; however, over time, the PID integral gain generates degradation within the controller, which then produces reduced stability and bandwidth. A proportional derivative (PD) controller has been proposed to deal with the increase in integral gain but is limited if gravity is not compensated for. In practice, the dynamic system non-linearities frequently are unknown or hard to obtain. Adaptive controllers are online schemes that are used to deal with systems that present non-linear and uncertainties dynamics. Adaptive controller use measured data of system trajectory in order to learn and compensate the uncertainties and external disturbances. However, these techniques can adopt more efficient learning methods in order to improve their performance. In this work, a nominal control law is used to achieve a sub-optimal performance, and a scheme based on a cascade neural network is implemented to act as a non-linear compensation whose task is to improve upon the performance of the nominal controller. The main contributions of this work are neural compensation based on a cascade neural networks and the function to update the weights of neural network used. The algorithm is implemented using radial basis function neural networks and a recompense function that leads longer traces for an identification problem. A two-degree-of-freedom robot manipulator is proposed to validate the proposed scheme and compare it with conventional PD control compensation.

Q-Learning Neural Controller for Steam Generator Station in Micro Cogeneration Systems

“…Based on the signal vectors from the current observation (3) and the current reward function (2), the decision block (4) derives a new current action. The action of the inference block can be terminated at any time by block (6). After superimposing saturation on the computed action (which is related to mapping the physical constraints of the signal magnitude), the control vector (5) is derived.…”

“…e presentation of a nonlinear system with the noninteger derivative is named fractional-order system (FOS). ere are many applications of FOSs on real-world fields, whether in signal processing, chemistry, electricity, thermal, or control theory, for example, observer design [1][2][3], finite-time stability [4], fault estimation [5], and asymptotic stability [6][7][8]. In fact, with regard to observer design, authors in [1] presented a fractional-order observer design for fractionalorder nonlinear systems.…”
