Abstract Cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) is a useful neural network learning technique. It was developed two decades ago but yet lacks an adequate learning algorithm, especially when it is used in a hybrid- type controller. This work is intended to introduce a simulation study for examining the performance of a hybrid-type control system based on the conventional learning algorithm of CMAC neural network. This study showed that the control system is unstable. Then a new adaptive learning algorithm of a CMAC based hybrid- type controller is proposed. The main features of the proposed learning algorithm, as well as the effects of the newly introduced parameters of this algorithm have been studied extensively via simulation case studies. The simulation results showed that the proposed learning algorithm is a robust in stabilizing the control system. Also, this proposed learning algorithm preserved all the known advantages of the CMAC neural network. Part II of this work is dedicated to validate the effectiveness of the proposed CMAC learning algorithm experimentally.

Hybrid Control System

Automation based electrohydraulic servo systems have a wide range of applications in nowadays industry. However, they still suffer from several nonlinearities like deadband in electrohydraulic valves, hysteresis, stick-slip friction in valves and cylinders. In addition, all hydraulic system parameters have uncertainties in their values due to the change of temperature while working. This paper addresses these problems by designing a suitable intelligent control system that has the ability to deal with the system nonlinearities and parameters uncertainties using a fast and online learning algorithm. A novel hybrid control system based on Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) neural network is presented. The proposed controller is composed of two parallel controllers. The first is a conventional Proportional-Velocity (PV) servo type controller which is used to decrease the large initial error of the closed-loop system. The second is a CMAC neural network which is used as an intelligent controller to overcome nonlinear characteristics of the electrohydraulic system. A fourth order model for the electrohydraulic system is introduced. PV controller parameters are tuned to get optimal values. Simulation and experimental results show a good tracking performance obtained using the proposed controller. The controller shows its robustness in two working environments. The first is by adding different inertia loads and the second is working with noisy level input signals.

Abstract Cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) is a useful neural network learning technique. It was developed two decades ago but yet lacks adequate learning algorithm especially when it is used in a hybrid-type controller. Part I of this work was devoted to introduce a new CMAC adaptive learning algorithm. Part II will be directed to experimental application of new learning algorithm of a CMAC based hybrid-type real time controller. The proposed controller is applied for the trajectory tracking of a piezoelectric actuated tool post. It has been proven that the piezoelectric actuated tool post has hysteretic behavior. Extensive experiments have been carried out on the experimental setup to evaluate the proposed adaptive learning algorithm of CMAC. Only few experiments and their results are being presented. In these experiments, the performance of the piezoelectric actuated tool post has been examined and evaluated using different types of control algorithms and applying external load disturbance. The control performance of the proposed controller is compared with those of conventional controllers (PI controller and the conventional CMAC based controller). The experimental results showed that performance of the hybrid-type controller using the proposed learning algorithm is stable and more effective than that of the conventional controllers. Testing and comparing the learning ability of the proposed learning algorithm with that of the conventional CMAC learning algorithm indicated the effectiveness of the learning ability of the proposed algorithm. Finally, the response using the proposed hybrid-type controller is slightly better than using the conventional PI controller under the effect of external load disturbance.
