Speed Control of a Pneumatic Monopod using a Neural Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss a speed controller for a hopping robot with a pneumatically powered leg. The controller uses a neural network to model the neutral point as a function of running speed and hopping height. The network is trained off-line using training data taken from a simulated hopper that is manually controlled by a human. Simulation experiments of hopping in the sagittal plane show improved performance over a Raibert PD controller, which uses a linear approximation for the neutral point.

Robustness Experiments for a Planar Hopping Control System
We explore the robustness of a control system for a pneumatic monopod simulation by adding Gaussian noise to the sensors and actuators. The control system is based on Raibert’s three-part control system decomposition; with significant modifications to two of the control loops. Our speed controller uses a neural network to approximate the neutral point function, and we use a model-based height c...

In this study, a new adaptive controller is proposed for position control of pneumatic systems. Difficulties associated with the mathematical model of the system in addition to the instability caused by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in the learning-based controllers using gradient descent, motivate the development of a new approach for PWM pneumatics. In this study, two modified Feedback Error L...

In this paper, a recurrent fuzzy-neural network (RFNN) controller with neural network identifier in direct control model is designed to control the speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine in a combined cycle power plant. Since the turbine operation in combined cycle unit is considered, speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine should be simultaneously controlled by fuel command ...

متن کاملModelling and Control of a Pneumatic Motor Using Neural Networks
A considerable amount of interest has been shown by researchers in the control of pneumatic drives over the past decade, for two main reasons, firstly, the response is very slow and the inability to attain set points is high due to hystiresis and secondly, the dynamic model of the system is highly non-linear, which greatly complicates controller design and development. To address these problems...
