So, a new method for establishing a hydraulic roll bending control system is put forward by cerebellar model articulation controller （CMAC） neural network and proportional-integral-derivative （PID） coupling control strategy. The non-linear relationship between input and output can be achieved by the concept mapping and the actual mapping of CMAC. The simulation results show that, compared with the conventional PID control algo- rithm, the parallel control algorithm can overcome the influence of parameter change of roll bending system on the control performance, thus improve the anti jamming capability of the system greatly, reduce the dependence of con- trol performance on the accuracy of the analytical model, enhance the tracking performance of hydraulic roll bending loop for the hydraulic and roll bending force and increase system response speed. The results indicate that the CMAC-P1D coupling control strategy for hydraulic roll bending system is effective.展开更多

However, nonlinearities continue to limit their performance. To compensate, advanced nonlinear and adaptive control strategies can be used. But the more successful advanced strategies typically need a mathematical model of the system to be controlled. The advantage of neural networks is that they do not require a model. This paper reports on a study whose objective is to explore the potential of a novel adaptive on-line neural network compensator (ANNC) for the position control of a pneumatic gantry robot. It was found that by combining ANNC with a traditional PID controller, tracking performance could be improved on the order of 45% to 70%. This level of performance was achieved after careful tuning of both the ANNC and PID components. The paper sets out to document the ANNC algorithm, the adopted tuning procedure, and presents experimental results that illustrate the adaptive nature of NN and confirms the performance achievable with ANNC. A major contribution is demonstration that tuning of ANNC requires no more effort than the tuning of PID.展开更多

A combination of fuzzy logic and neural network can generate a fuzzy neural controller which in association with a neural network emulator can improve the output response of the controlled system. This combination uses the neural network training ability to adjust the membership functions of a PID like fuzzy neural controller. The goal of the controller is to force the controlled system to follow a reference model with required transient specifications of minimum overshoot, minimum rise time and minimum steady state error. The fuzzy membership functions were tuned using the propagated error between the plant outputs and the desired ones. To propagate the error from the plant outputs to the controller, a neural network is used as a channel to the error. This neural network uses the back propagation algorithm as a learning technique. Firstly the parameters of PID of Fuzzy-Neural controller are selected by trial and error method, but to get the best controller parameters the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used as an optimization method for tuning the PID parameters. From the obtained results, it is noted that the PID Fuzzy-Neural controller provides good tracking performance under different circumstances for congestion avoidance in computer networks.展开更多

Aircraft control is achieved by means of a proportional-integral（PI） controller and the instrumental landing system– the first phase of landing（the glide slope） and a proportional-integral-derivative（PID） controller together with a radio-altimeter – the second phase of landing（the flare）; both controllers modify the reference model associated with aircraft pitch angle. The control of the pitch angle and longitudinal velocity is performed by a neural network adaptive control system, based on the dynamic inversion concept, having the following as components： a linear dynamic compensator, a linear observer, reference models, and a Pseudo control hedging（PCH） block. The theoretical results are software implemented and validated by complex numerical simulations; compared with other ALSs having the same radio-technical subsystems but with conventional or fuzzy controllers for the control of aircraft pitch angle and longitudinal velocity, the architecture designed in this paper is characterized by much smaller overshoots and stationary errors.展开更多
