A robust neural controller for underwater robot manipulators

Presents a robust control scheme using a multilayer neural network with the error backpropagation learning algorithm. The multilayer neural network acts as a compensator of the conventional sliding mode controller to improve the control performance when initial assumptions of uncertainty bounds of system parameters are not valid. The proposed controller is applied to control a robot manipulator operating under the sea which has large uncertainties such as the buoyancy, the drag force, wave effects, currents, and the added mass/moment of inertia. Computer simulation results show that the proposed control scheme gives an effective path way to cope with those unexpected large uncertainties.     

Robust Adaptive Dead Zone Technology for Fault-Tolerant Control of Robot Manipulators Using Neural Networks

In this paper, a multi-layered feed-forward neural network is trained on-line by robust adaptive dead zone scheme to identify simulated faults occurring in the robot system and reconfigure the control law to prevent the tracking performance from deteriorating in the presence of system uncertainty. Consider the fact that system uncertainty can not be known a priori, the proposed robust adaptive dead zone scheme can estimate the upper bound of system uncertainty on line to ensure convergence of the training algorithm, in turn the stability of the control system. A discrete-time robust weight-tuning algorithm using the adaptive dead zone scheme is presented with a complete convergence proof. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology has been shown by simulations for a two-link robot manipulator.     

Adaptive output feedback tracking control of robot manipulators using position measurements only

In this paper, a new adaptive neuro controller for trajectory tracking is developed for robot manipulators without velocity measurements, taking into account the actuator constraints. The controller is based on structural knowledge of the dynamics of the robot and measurements of joint positions only. The system uncertainty, which may include payload variation, unknown nonlinearities and torque disturbances is estimated by a Chebyshev neural network (CNN). The adaptive controller represents an amalgamation of a filtering technique to generate pseudo filtered tracking error signals (for the elimination of velocity measurements) and the theory of function approximation using CNN. The proposed controller ensures the local asymptotic stability and the convergence of the position error to zero. The proposed controller is robust not only to structured uncertainty such as payload variation but also to unstructured one such as disturbances. Moreover the computational complexity of the proposed controller is reduced as compared to the multilayered neural network controller. The validity of the control scheme is shown by simulation results of a two-link robot manipulator. Simulation results are also provided to compare the proposed controller with a controller where velocity is estimated by finite difference methods using position measurements only.     

A Neural Network Adaptive Controller for End-effector Tracking of Redundant Robot Manipulators

In this paper we propose a neural network adaptive controller to achieve end-effector tracking of redundant robot manipulators. The controller is designed in Cartesian space to overcome the problem of motion planning which is closely related to the inverse kinematics problem. The unknown model of the system is approximated by a decomposed structure neural network. Each neural network approximates a separate element of the dynamical model. These approximations are used to derive an adaptive stable control law. The parameter adaptation algorithm is derived from the stability study of the closed loop system using Lyapunov approach with intrinsic properties of robot manipulators. Two control strategies are considered. First, the aim of the controller is to achieve good tracking of the end-effector regardless the robot configurations. Second, the controller is improved using augmented space strategy to ensure minimum displacements of the joint positions of the robot. Simulation examples are also presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Closed-Loop Control of Robotic Arc Welding System with Full-penetration Monitoring

The real-time detection of the state of the gap and weld penetration control are two fundamental issues in robotic arc welding. However, traditional robotic arc welding lacks external information feedback and the function of real-time adjusting. The objective of this research is to adopt new sensing techniques and artificial intelligence to ensure the stability of the welding process through controlling penetration depth and weld pool geometry. A novel arc welding robot system including function modules (visual modules, data acquisition modules) and corresponding software system was developed. Thus, the autonomy and intelligence of the arc welding robot system is realized. Aimed at solving welding penetration depth, a neural network (NN) model is developed to calculate the full penetration state, which is specified by the back-side bead width (Wb), from the top-side vision sensing technique. And then, a versatile algorithm developed to provide robust real-time processing of images for use with a vision-based computer control system is discussed. To this end, the peak current self adaptive regulating controller with weld gap compensation was designed in the robotic arc welding control system. Using this closed-loop control experiments have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control system for the robotic arc welding process. The results show that the standard error of the Wb is 0.124 regardless of the variations in the state of the gap.
