Expert self-learning controller for robot manipulator

摘要

Real-time expert system techniques and applications to robot manipulator control systems are discussed. A novel type of intelligent controller structure, the expert learning controller prototype ELEC (expert learning controller), is developed for the trajectory tracking control in repeat operations. ELEC, acting as an intelligent real-time controller in a closed-loop system, can modify the control series in a human-expert-like manner using the experience of previous operations in order to force the system output to converge to the prespecified desired trajectory. ELEC does not require the knowledge of system models, so it can be used in a fairly wide range of control problems. A numerical example for a two-link robot manipulator is given which shows the satisfactory performance of ELEC.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
