Abstract
The dynamics of a physical plant may be difficult to express as concise mathematical equations. In practice there exist uncertainties that cannot be modeled with the system equations. Hence, robustness against system uncertainties is essential in a control system design. In this article, multilayered neural networks (MNNs) are used to compensate for model uncertainties of a dynamical system. Neural network models are used along with a classical linear servo controller derived from the linear state space equations. These models are trained so that system uncertainties are compensated. The design of a servo system indicates the enhanced performance of the neural-network-based servo controller as compared to the classical servo controller.
