In order to solve the joint chattering problem of the manipulator in the process of motion, a novel dynamics model is established based on the dynamics model of the manipulator, by fitting parameters of the neural network and combining with the estimated value of the inertia matrix. We proposed a neural network adaptive control method with a time-varying constraint state based on the dynamics model of estimation. We design the control law, establish the Lyapunov function equation and the asymmetric term, and derive the convergence of the control law. According to the joint state tracking results of the manipulator, the angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration, input torque, and disturbance fitting of the manipulator are analyzed by using the Simulink and Gazebo. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the chattering amplitude under the environment disturbances.

For the probe descending and landing safely, a neural network control method based on proportional integral observer (PIO) is proposed. First, the dynamics equation of the probe under the landing site coordinate system is deduced and the nominal trajectory meeting the constraints in advance on three axes is preplanned. Then the PIO designed by using LMI technique is employed in the control law to compensate the effect of the disturbance. At last, the neural network control algorithm is used to guarantee the double zero control of the probe and ensure the probe can land safely. An illustrative design example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

Purpose To improve the robustness of missile control system and reduce the error, a missile attitude adaptive control method based on active disturbance rejection control technology (ADRC) and BP neural network is innovatively proposed. Design/methodology/approach ADRC improves the performance of the missile control system by estimating and eliminating the total disturbance of the system. BP neural network adjusts the parameters of ADRC controller according to the state of the system to realize adaptive control. Based on the control system and missile dynamics model, the convergence analysis of the extended state observer and the stability analysis of the closed-loop system after embedding BP neural network are given. Findings The simulation results show that the adaptive control method can adjust the coefficient of error feedback rate according to the system input, output and error change rate, which accelerates the response speed of missile attitude angle and reduces the attitude angle error. Practical implications BP–ADRC further improves the robustness and environmental adaptability of the missile control system. The BP–ADRC control method proposed in this paper is proved feasible. Originality/value Different from the traditional ADRC, the BP–ADRC feedback signal proposed in this paper uses the output signal and its rate of the closed-loop system instead of the system state quantity estimated by extended state observer (ESO). This innovative method combined with BP neural network can make the system output meet the requirements when ESO has errors in the estimation of missile dynamics model.

Shape memory alloy (SMA) has been utilized as the material of smart actuators due to the miniaturization and lightweight. However, the nonlinearity and hysteresis of SMA material seriously affect the precise control. In this article, a novel disturbance compensation-based adaptive control scheme is developed to improve the control performance of SMA actuator system. Firstly, the nominal model is constructed based on the physical process. Next, an estimator is developed to online update not only the unmeasured system states but also the total disturbance. Then, the novel adaptive controller, which is composed of the nominal control law and the compensation control law, is designed. Finally, the proposed scheme is evaluated in the SMA experimental setup. The comparison results have demonstrated that the proposed control method can track reference trajectory accurately, reject load variations and stochastic disturbances timely, and exhibit satisfactory robust stability. The proposed control scheme is system independent and has some potential in other types of SMA-actuated systems.

This paper presents issues related to the adaptive control of the drive system with an elastic clutch connecting the main motor and the load machine. Firstly, the problems and the main algorithms often implemented for the mentioned object are analyzed. Then, the control concept based on the RNN (recurrent neural network) for the drive system with the flexible coupling is thoroughly described. For this purpose, an adaptive model inspired by the Elman model is selected, which is related to internal feedback in the neural network. The indicated feature improves the processing of dynamic signals. During the design process, for the selection of constant coefficients of the controller, the PSO (particle swarm optimizer) is applied. Moreover, in order to obtain better dynamic properties and improve work in real conditions, one model based on the ADALINE (adaptive linear neuron) is introduced into the structure. Details of the algorithm used for the weights’ adaptation are presented (including stability analysis) to perform the shaft torque signal filtering. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is examined through simulation and experimental studies.

A line structured light sensor (LSLS) is generally constituted of a laser line projector and a camera. With the advantages of simple construction, non-contact, and high measuring speed, it is of great perspective in 3D measurement. For traditional LSLSs, the camera exposure time is usually fixed while the surface properties can be varied for different measurement tasks. This would lead to under/over exposure of the stripe images or even failure of the measurement. To avoid these undesired situations, an adaptive control method was proposed to modulate the average stripe width (ASW) within a favorite range. The ASW is first computed based on the back propagation neural network (BPNN), which can reach a high accuracy result and reduce the runtime dramatically. Then, the approximate linear relationship between the ASW and the exposure time was demonstrated via a series of experiments. Thus, a linear iteration procedure was proposed to compute the optimal camera exposure time. When the optimized exposure time is real-time adjusted, stripe images with the favorite ASW can be obtained during the whole scanning process. The smoothness of the stripe center lines and the surface integrity can be improved. A small proportion of the invalid stripe images further proves the effectiveness of the control method.

For the ultralow altitude airdrop decline stage, many factors such as actuator nonlinearity, the uncertain atmospheric disturbances, and model unknown nonlinearity affect the precision of trajectory tracking. A robust adaptive neural network dynamic surface control method is proposed. The neural network is used to approximate unknown nonlinear continuous functions of the model, and a nonlinear robust term is introduced to eliminate the actuator’s nonlinear modeling error and external disturbances. From Lyapunov stability theorem, it is rigorously proved that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. Simulation results confirm the perfect tracking performance and strong robustness of the proposed method.

An adaptive PD control scheme is proposed for the support system of a wire-driven parallel robot (WDPR) used in a wind tunnel test. The control scheme combines a PD control and an adaptive control based on a radial basis function (RBF) neural network. The PD control is used to track the trajectory of the end effector of the WDPR. The experimental environment, the external disturbances, and other factors result in uncertainties of some parameters for the WDPR; therefore, the RBF neural network control method is used to approximate the parameters. An adaptive control algorithm is developed to reduce the approximation error and improve the robustness and control precision of the WDPR. It is demonstrated that the closed-loop system is stable based on the Lyapunov stability theory. The simulation results show that the proposed control scheme results in a good performance of the WDPR. The experimental results of the prototype experiments show that the WDPR operates on the desired trajectory; the proposed control method is correct and effective, and the experimental error is small and meets the requirements.

This study addresses the tracking control issue for n-link robotic manipulators with largely jumping parameters. Based on radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs), we propose weighted multiple-model neural network adaptive control (WMNNAC) approach. To cover the variation ranges of the parameters, different models of robotic are constructed. Then, the corresponding local neural network controller is constructed, in which the neural network has been used to approximate the uncertainty part of the control law, and an adaptive observer is implemented to estimate the true external disturbance. The WMNNAC strategy with improved weighting algorithm is adopted to ensure the tracking performance of the robotic manipulator system when parameters jump largely. Through the Lyapunov stability theory and the method of virtual equivalent system (VES), the stability of the closed-loop system is proved. Finally, the simulation results of a two-link manipulator verify the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed WMNNAC strategy.
