Indirect adaptive self-organizing RBF neural controller design with a dynamical training approach

This study proposes an indirect adaptive self-organizing RBF neural control (IASRNC) system which is composed of a feedback controller, a neural identifier and a smooth compensator. The neural identifier which contains a self-organizing RBF (SORBF) network with structure and parameter learning is designed to online estimate a system dynamics using the gradient descent method. The SORBF network can add new hidden neurons and prune insignificant hidden neurons online. The smooth compensator is designed to dispel the effect of minimum approximation error introduced by the neural identifier in the Lyapunov stability theorem. In general, how to determine the learning rate of parameter adaptation laws usually requires some trial-and-error tuning procedures. This paper proposes a dynamical learning rate approach based on a discrete-type Lyapunov function to speed up the convergence of tracking error. Finally, the proposed IASRNC system is applied to control two chaotic systems. Simulation results verify that the proposed IASRNC scheme can achieve a favorable tracking performance.     

Hermite-neural-network-based adaptive control for a coupled nonlinear chaotic system

A TSK-type Hermite neural network (THNN) is studied in this paper. Since the output weights of the THNN use a functional-type form, it provides powerful representation, high learning performance and good generalization capability. Then, a Hermite-neural-network-based adaptive control (HNNAC) system which is composed of a neural controller and a robust compensator is proposed. The neural controller utilizes a THNN to online approximate an ideal controller, and the robust compensator is designed to eliminate the effect of the approximation error introduced by the neural controller upon the system stability. Moreover, a proportional-integral (PI)-type learning algorithm is derived to speed up the convergence of the tracking error. Finally, the proposed HNNAC system is applied to synchronize a coupled nonlinear chaotic system. In the simulation study, it shows that the proposed HNNAC system can achieve favorable synchronization performance without requiring a preliminary offline tuning.

     

Specificity enhancement in classification of breast MRI lesion based on multi-classifier

In the conventional CMAC-based adaptive controller design, a switching compensator is designed to guarantee system stability in the Lyapunov stability sense but the undesirable chattering phenomenon occurs. This paper proposes a CMAC-based smooth adaptive neural control (CSANC) system that is composed of a neural controller and a saturation compensator. The neural controller uses a CMAC neural network to online mimic an ideal controller and the saturation compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error between the ideal controller and neural controller without any chattering phenomena. The parameter adaptive algorithms of the CSANC system are derived in the sense of Lyapunov stability, so the system stability can be guaranteed. Finally, the proposed CSANC system is applied to a Chua’s chaotic circuit and a DC motor driver. Simulation and experimental results show the CSANC system can achieve a favorable tracking performance. It should be emphasized that the development of the proposed CSANC system doesn’t need the knowledge of the system dynamics.

The proposed APIHNC system is composed of a neural controller and a robust compensator. The neural controller uses a three-layer Hermite neural network (HNN) to online mimic an ideal controller and the robust compensator is designed to eliminate the effect of the approximation error introduced by the neural controller upon the system stability in the Lyapunov sense. Moreover, a proportional–integral learning algorithm is derived to speed up the convergence of the tracking error. Finally, the proposed APIHNC system is applied to an inverted double pendulums and a two-link robotic manipulator. Simulation results verify that the proposed APIHNC system can achieve high-precision tracking performance. It should be emphasized that the proposed APIHNC system is clearly and easily used for real-time applications.     

An RBF neural network-based adaptive control for SISO linearisable nonlinear systems

An RBF neural network-based adaptive control is proposed for Single-Input and Single-Output (SISO) linearisable nonlinear systems in this paper. It is shown that a SISO nonlinear system is first linearised by using the differential geometric approach in the state space, and the linearised nonlinear system is then treated as a partially known system. The known dynamics are used to design a nominal feedback controller to stabilise the nominal system, and an adaptive RBF neural network-based compensator is then designed to compensate for the effects of uncertain dynamics. The main function of the RBF neural network in this work is to adaptively learn the upper bound of the system uncertainty, and the output of the neural network is then used to adaptively adjust the gain of the compensator so that the strong robustness with respect to unknown dynamics can be obtained, and the tracking error between the plant output and the desired reference signal can asymptotically converge to zero. A simulation example is performed in support of the proposed scheme.     

Adaptive robust control for servo manipulators

In this paper, an adaptive robust control scheme is developed which is suitable for the control of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems, typical of many servo manipulators. The control scheme is comprised of a model reference adaptive controller (MRAC) augmented with a nonlinear compensator based on an adaptive radial basis function (RBF). The RBF compensator is used to neutralise the effects of uncertain and possibly nonlinear dynamics, so that the equivalent system as seen by the MRAC is reduced to one without significant unstructured modelling errors. A stability analysis is provided to show the uniform stability and the asymptotic tracking capabilities of the proposed control system. Real-time experiment results verify the effectiveness of the control scheme.     

Adaptive recurrent neural network control using a structure adaptation algorithm

This paper proposes an adaptive recurrent neural network control (ARNNC) system with structure adaptation algorithm for the uncertain nonlinear systems. The developed ARNNC system is composed of a neural controller and a robust controller. The neural controller which uses a self-structuring recurrent neural network (SRNN) is the principal controller, and the robust controller is designed to achieve L ² tracking performance with desired attenuation level. The SRNN approximator is used to online estimate an ideal tracking controller with the online structuring and parameter learning algorithms. The structure learning possesses the ability of both adding and pruning hidden neurons, and the parameter learning adjusts the interconnection weights of neural network to achieve favorable approximation performance. And, by the L ² control design technique, the worst effect of approximation error on the tracking error can be attenuated to be less or equal to a specified level. Finally, the proposed ARNNC system with structure adaptation algorithm is applied to control two nonlinear dynamic systems. Simulation results prove that the proposed ARNNC system with structure adaptation algorithm can achieve favorable tracking performance even unknown the control system dynamics function.     

Adaptive dynamic CMAC neural control of nonlinear chaotic systems with L2 tracking performance

The advantage of using cerebellar model articulation control (CMAC) network has been well documented in many applications. However, the structure of a CMAC network which will influence the learning performance is difficult to select. This paper proposes a dynamic structure CMAC network (DSCN) which the network structure can grow or prune systematically and their parameters can be adjusted automatically. Then, an adaptive dynamic CMAC neural control (ADCNC) system which is composed of a computation controller and a robust compensator is proposed via second-order sliding-mode approach. The computation controller containing a DSCN identifier is the principal controller and the robust compensator is designed to achieve L₂ tracking performance with a desired attenuation level. Moreover, a proportional–integral (PI)-type adaptation learning algorithm is derived to speed up the convergence of the tracking error in the sense of Lyapunov function and Barbalat’s lemma, thus the system stability can be guaranteed. Finally, the proposed ADCNC system is applied to control a chaotic system. The simulation results are demonstrated that the proposed ADCNC scheme can achieve a favorable control performance even under the variations of system parameters and initial point.     

Deterministic learning and neural control of a class of nonlinear systems toward improved performance

A deterministic learning theory was recently presented which states that an appropriately designed adaptive neural controller can learn the system internal dynamics while attempting to control a class of nonlinear systems in normal form. In this paper, we further investigate deterministic learning of the class of nonlinear systems with relaxed conditions, and neural control of the class of system toward improved performance. Firstly, without the assumption on the upper bound of the derivative of the unknown affine term, an adaptive neural controller is proposed to achieve stability and tracking of the plant states to that of the reference model. When output tracking is achieved, a partial PE condition is satisfied, and deterministic learning from adaptive neural control of the class of nonlinear systems is implemented without the priori knowledge on the upper bound of the derivative of the affine term. Secondly, by utilizing the obtained knowledge of system dynamics, a neural controller with constant RBF networks embedded is presented, in which the learned knowledge can be effectively exploited to achieve stability and improved control performance. Simulation studies are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results.

Adaptive neural sliding mode compensator for a class of nonlinear systems with unmodeled uncertainties

This paper addresses the problem of adaptive neural sliding mode control for a class of multi-input multi-output nonlinear system. The control strategy is an inverse nonlinear controller combined with an adaptive neural network with sliding mode control using an on-line learning algorithm. The adaptive neural network with sliding mode control acts as a compensator for a conventional inverse controller in order to improve the control performance when the system is affected by variations in its entire structure (kinematics and dynamics). The controllers are obtained by using Lyapunov's stability theory. Experimental results of a case study show that the proposed method is effective in controlling dynamic systems with unexpected large uncertainties.     

Adaptive neural control and learning of affine nonlinear systems

This paper presents deterministic learning from adaptive neural network control of affine nonlinear systems with completely unknown system dynamics. Thanks to the learning capability of radial basis function, neural network (NN), stable adaptive NN controller is designed for the unknown affine nonlinear systems. The designed adaptive NN controller is rigorously shown that learning of the unknown closed-loop system dynamics can be achieved during the stable control process because partial persistent excitation condition of some internal signals in the closed-loop system is satisfied. Subsequently, neural learning controller using the knowledge obtained from deterministic learning is constructed to achieve closed-loop stability and improve control performance. Numerical simulation is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Adaptive neural complementary sliding-mode control via functional-linked wavelet neural network

Chaos control can be applied in the vast areas of physics and engineering systems, but the parameters of chaotic system are inevitably perturbed by external inartificial factors and cannot be exactly known. This paper proposes an adaptive neural complementary sliding-mode control (ANCSC) system, which is composed of a neural controller and a robust compensator, for a chaotic system. The neural controller uses a functional-linked wavelet neural network (FWNN) to approximate an ideal complementary sliding-mode controller. Since the output weights of FWNN are equipped with a functional-linked type form, the FWNN offers good learning accuracy. The robust compensator is designed to eliminate the effect of the approximation error introduced by the neural controller upon the system stability in the Lyapunov sense. Without requiring preliminary offline learning, the parameter learning algorithm can online tune the controller parameters of the proposed ANCSC system to ensure system stable. Finally, it shows by the simulation results that favorable control performance can be achieved for a chaotic system by the proposed ANCSC scheme.     

Adaptive RBF neural network control of robot with actuator nonlinearities

In this paper, an adaptive neural network control scheme for robot manipulators with actuator nonlinearities is presented. The control scheme consists of an adaptive neural network controller and an actuator nonlinearities compensator. Since the actuator nonlinearities are usually included in the robot driving motor, a compensator using radial basis function (RBF) network is proposed to estimate the actuator nonlinearities and eliminate their effects. Subsequently, an adaptive neural network controller that neither requires the evaluation of inverse dynamical model nor the time-consuming training process is given. In addition, GL matrix and its product operator are introduced to help prove the stability of the closed control system. Considering the adaptive neural network controller and the RBF network compensator as the whole control scheme, the closed-loop system is proved to be uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB). The whole scheme provides a general procedure to control the robot manipulators with actuator nonlinearities. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the designed scheme and the theoretical discussion.

FPGA‐based adaptive dynamic sliding‐mode neural control for a brushless DC motor

In the adaptive neural control design, since the number of hidden neurons is finite for real‐time applications, the approximation errors introduced by the neural network cannot be inevitable. To ensure the stability of the adaptive neural control system, a switching compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error. However, it will lead to substantial chattering in the control effort. In this paper, an adaptive dynamic sliding‐mode neural control (ADSNC) system composed of a neural controller and a fuzzy compensator is proposed to tackle this problem. The neural controller, using a radial basis function neural network, is the main controller and the fuzzy compensator is designed to eliminate the approximation error introduced by the neural controller. Moreover, a proportional‐integral‐type adaptation learning algorithm is developed based on the Lyapunov function; thus not only the system stability can be guaranteed but also the convergence of the tracking error and controller parameters can speed up. Finally, the proposed ADSNC system is implemented based on a field programmable gate array chip for low‐cost and high‐performance industrial applications and is applied to control a brushless DC (BLDC) motor to show its effectiveness. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed ADSNC scheme can achieve favorable control performance without encountering chattering phenomena.
