Neural networks (NNs), which have excellent ability of self-learning and parameter adjusting, has been widely applied to solve highly nonlinear control problems in industrial processes. This paper presents a reference-model-based neural network control method for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) temperature system. In order to improve the learning efficiency of the NN control, a reference model is introduced to provide the teaching signal for the NN controller. The control inputs for the MIMO system are given by the sum of the output of the conventional integral-proportional-derivative (I-PD) controller and the outputs of the neural network controller. The proposed NN control method can not only improve the transient response of the system, but can also realize temperature uniformity in MIMO temperature systems. To verify the proposed method, simulations are carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and experiments are carried out on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor)-based experimental platform, respectively. Both results are quantitatively compared to those obtained from the conventional I-PD control systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been successfully verified.

A neural network control method for heading control of miniature unmanned helicopter is proposed. For the complexity of miniature helicopter aerodynamics, it is difficult to identify the unknown parameters of yaw dynamics model. To design heading controller of miniature helicopter without modelling yaw dynamics, BP neural network is designed as heading controller, which is trained by collected flight data. By training, the neural network controller can learn the artificial operation strategy and realize the heading control of miniature unmanned helicopter. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed neural network control method.

This paper proposes a zero-speed vessel fin stabilizer adaptive neural network control strategy based on a command filter for the problem of large-angle rolling motion caused by adverse sea conditions when a vessel is at low speed down to zero. In order to avoid the adverse effects of the high-frequency part of the marine environment on the vessel rolling control system, a command filter is introduced in the design of the controller and a command filter backstepping control method is designed. An auxiliary dynamic system (ADS) is constructed to correct the feedback error caused by input saturation. Considering that the system has unknown internal parameters and unmodeled dynamics, and is affected by unknown disturbances from the outside, the neural network technology and nonlinear disturbance observer are fused in the proposed design, which not only combines the advantages of the two but also overcomes the limitations of the single technique itself. Through Lyapunov theoretical analysis, the stability of the control system is proved. Finally, the simulation results also verify the effectiveness of the control method.

Intelligent vehicle is an attractive solution to the traffic problems caused by automobiles. An experimental autonomous driving system based on a slot car set is designed and realized in the paper. With the application of a wireless camera equipped on the slot car, the track information is acquired and sent to the controlling computer. A backpropogation (BP) neural network controller is built to imitate the way of player’s thinking. After being trained, the neural network controller can give the proper voltage instructions to the direct current (DC) motor of the slot car according to different track conditions. Test results prove that the development of the autonomous driving system is successful.

In this paper, an adaptive robust neural network controller (ARNNC) is synthesized for a single-rod pneumatic actuator to achieve high tracking accuracy without knowing the bounds of the parameters and disturbances. The ARNNC control framework integrates adaptive control, robust control, and neural network control intelligently. Adaptive control improves the precision of dynamic compensation with parametric estimation, and robust control attenuates the effect of unmodeled dynamics and unknown disturbances. In reality, the unmodeled dynamics of the complicated pneumatic systems and unpredictable disturbances in working conditions affect the tracking precision. However, these cannot be expressed as an exact formula. Therefore, the real-time learning radial basis function (RBF) neural network component is considered for better compensation of unmodeled dynamics, random disturbances, and estimation errors of the adaptive control. Although the bounds of the parameters and disturbances for the pneumatic systems are unknown, the prescribed transient performance and final tracking accuracy of the proposed method can be still achieved with fictitious bounds. Asymptotic tracking performance can be acquired under the provided circumstance. The comparative experiments with a pneumatic cylinder driven by proportional direction valve illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed ARNNC as shown by a high tracking accuracy is achieved.
