Abstract

Recently, adaptive control systems utilizing artificial intelligent techniques are being actively investigated in many applications. Neural networks with their powerful learning capability are being sought as the basis for many adaptive control systems where on-line adaptation can be implemented. Fuzzy logic, on the other hand, has proved to be rather popular in many control system applications due to providing a rule-base like structure. In this paper, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy control system is proposed in which the Radial Basis Function neural network (RBF) is implemented as a neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC) and the General Regression neural network (GRNN) as a predictor. The adaptation of the system involves the following three procedures: (1) tuning of the control actions or rules, (2) trimming of the control actions, and (3) adjustment of the controller output gain. The tuning method is a non-gradient descent method based on the predicted system response which is able to self-organize the control actions from the initial stage. The trimming scheme can help to reduce the aggressiveness of the particular control rules such that the response is stabilized to the set-points more effectively, while the controller gain adjustment scheme can be applied in the cases where the appropriate controller output gain is difficult to determine heuristically. To show the effectiveness of this methodology, its performance is compared with the well known Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) technique which is a combination of both adaptive and predictive control schemes. Comparisons are made with respect to the transient response, disturbance rejection and changes in plant dynamics. The proposed control system is also applied in controlling a single link manipulator. The results show that it exhibits robustness and good adaptation capability which can be practically implemented.
