Control System Design for an Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robot

Control system implementation is one of the major difficulties in rehabilitation robot design. The purpose of our study is to present newly developed control strategies for an upper-limb rehabilitation robot. The Barrett WAM Arm manipulator is used as the main hardware platform for the functional recovery training of the past-stroke patient. Passive and active recovery training have been implemented on the WAM Arm. A fuzzy-based PD position control strategy is proposed for the passive recovery exercise to control the WAM Arm stably and smoothly to stretch the impaired limb to move along predefined trajectories. An adaptive impedance force controller is employed in the active motion mode in which a fuzzy logic regulator is used to adjust the desired impedance between the robot and impaired limb to generate adaptive force in agreement with the change of the impaired limb's muscle strength. In order to evaluate the change of the impaired limb's muscle power, the impaired limb's mechanical impedance parameters as an objective evaluation index is estimated online by using a recursive least-squares algorithm with an adaptive forgetting factor. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of the proposed control strategies.

Optimal impedance via model predictive control for robot-aided rehabilitation

This paper proposes an optimal impedance controller for robot-aided rehabilitation of walking, aiming to increase the patient’s activity during the therapy. In an online procedure, the joint torques produced by the patient during the gait is estimated using the generalized momenta-based disturbance observer and the Extended Kalman filter algorithm. At the same time, a model predictive control is performed to obtain the instantaneous optimal stiffness parameters of the robot’s impedance controller, trying to maximize the patient’s active participation by increasing his/her joint torques. In this feasibility study, experiments with a healthy subject, considering a modular lower limb exoskeleton and a set of user’s behaviors, are performed to evaluate the proposed controller. The results show the robot stiffness converges to a value which increases the user’s active participation.

Further results on adaptive iterative learning control of robot manipulators

Based on a combination of a PD controller and a switching type two-parameter compensation force, an iterative learning controller with a projection-free adaptive algorithm is presented in this paper for repetitive control of uncertain robot manipulators. The adaptive iterative learning controller is designed without any a priori knowledge of robot parameters under certain properties on the dynamics of robot manipulators with revolute joints only. This new adaptive algorithm uses a combined time-domain and iteration-domain adaptation law allowing to guarantee the boundedness of the tracking error and the control input, in the sense of the infinity norm, as well as the convergence of the tracking error to zero, without any a priori knowledge of robot parameters. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the learning controller.     

Recurrent neuro fuzzy control design for tracking of mobile robots via hybrid algorithm

This paper proposes a TSK-type recurrent neuro fuzzy system (TRNFS) and hybrid algorithm- GA_BPPSO to develop a direct adaptive control scheme for stable path tracking of mobile robots. The TRNFS is a modified model of the recurrent fuzzy neural network (RFNN) to obtain generalization and fast convergence. The TRNFS is designed using hybridization of genetic algorithm (GA), back-propagation (BP), and particle swarm optimization (PSO), called GA_BPPSO. For the tracking control of mobile robot, two TRNFSs are designed to generate the control inputs by direct adaptive control scheme and hybrid algorithm GA_BPPSO. Through simulation results, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed controller.     

Fast Learning Algorithms for Feedforward Neural Networks

In order to improve the training speed of multilayer feedforward neural networks (MLFNN), we propose and explore two new fast backpropagation (BP) algorithms obtained: (1) by changing the error functions, in case using the exponent attenuation (or bell impulse) function and the Fourier kernel function as alternative functions; and (2) by introducing the hybrid conjugate-gradient algorithm of global optimization for dynamic learning rate to overcome the conventional BP learning problems of getting stuck into local minima or slow convergence. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the modified error functions since the training speed is faster than that of existing fast methods. In addition, our hybrid algorithm has a higher recognition rate than the Polak-Ribieve conjugate gradient and conventional BP algorithms, and has less training time, less complication and stronger robustness than the Fletcher-Reeves conjugate-gradient and conventional BP algorithms for real speech data.

A hybrid of electromagnetism-like mechanism and back-propagation algorithms for recurrent neural fuzzy systems design

This article introduces a novel hybrid evolutionary algorithm for recurrent fuzzy neural systems design in applications of nonlinear systems. The hybrid learning algorithm, IEMBP-improved electromagnetism-like (EM) with back-propagation (BP) technique, combines the advantages of EM and BP algorithms which provides high-speed convergence, higher accuracy and less computational complexity (computation time in seconds). In addition, the IEMBP needs only a small population to outperform the standard EM that uses a larger population. For a recurrent neural fuzzy system, IEMBP simulates the ‘attraction’ and ‘repulsion’ of charged particles by considering each neural system parameters as a charged particle. The EM algorithm is modified in such a way that the competition selection is adopted and the random neighbourhood local search is replaced by BP without evaluations. Thus, the IEMBP algorithm combines the advantages of multi-point search, global optimisation and faster convergence. Finally, several illustration examples for nonlinear systems are shown to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of IEMBP.

A novel impedance control method of rubber unstacking robot dealing with unpredictable and time-variable adhesion force

Unpredictable and time-variable adhesion force between the rubber unstacking robot and the rubber block is generated, which makes it difficult for the robot to smoothly complete the rubber disassembly task, thereby bringing about new robot control problems. For solving the above problems, a novel method of inner/outer loop impedance control based on natural gradient actor-critic (NAC) reinforcement learning is proposed in this paper. The required impedance is applied by the inner/outer loop impedance control with time delay estimation, which can correct the modeling error and compensate the nonlinear dynamics term to improve the computational efficiency of the system. In addition, the NAC reinforcement learning algorithm based on recursive least squares filtering is used to optimize the impedance parameters online, which can improve the impedance accuracy and robustness in the unstructured dynamic environment. At the same time, three stability constraints of the control strategy are derived in the analysis process. Finally, by setting up the experimental platform, it is verified that the control strategy can make the robot work smoothly under the action of unpredictable and time-variable adhesion force to reduce vibration and improve rubber unstacking performance.
