A neural network controller for regulating the contact force of a flexible link manipulator in contact with a compliant environment is proposed in this paper. The dynamic model of a single-link flexible (SLF) manipulator is obtained using three rigid sub-links connected by two virtual springs. It is assumed that the length of each link is short enough to be considered as a rigid link. A neural network-based control strategy is then proposed to relax the a-priori knowledge of the model parameters of the flexible link manipulator. The weights of the neural network controller are adjusted to minimize the error between the actual contact force and desired force. To overcome the non-minimum phase characteristic of the system, a weighted term of input signal is added to controller’s cost function. Simulation results are presented to evaluate performance of the proposed controller.

Intelligent vehicle is an attractive solution to the traffic problems caused by automobiles. An experimental autonomous driving system based on a slot car set is designed and realized in the paper. With the application of a wireless camera equipped on the slot car, the track information is acquired and sent to the controlling computer. A backpropogation (BP) neural network controller is built to imitate the way of player’s thinking. After being trained, the neural network controller can give the proper voltage instructions to the direct current (DC) motor of the slot car according to different track conditions. Test results prove that the development of the autonomous driving system is successful.

In this paper a neural network adaptive force controller is proposed for a hydraulic system. The dynamic model of this system is highly non-linear and very complex to obtain. Thus, it is considered as a black box and a priori identification becomes necessary. A neural network is used to approximate the model and then a controller using the Lyapunov approach is designed. The neural network parameters are updated online according to an adaptation algorithm obtained via stability analysis. The performance of the proposed neural network controller is validated on an experimental plant.

To improve the cutting efficiency, one of key approaches is to control with constant force in the full depth working condition. And the controller design is vital to realize the real-time feasibility and robustness of the system. A neuron optimization based PID approach is proposed in this paper and adopted in the NC cutting process. This approach optimizes the parameters of PID controller real-timely with the neural network control principle. It not only overcomes the mismatch of the open-loop system model which occurred in constant PID control, but also solves the contradiction between the calculation speed and precision in the neural network which caused by the node choosing of the hidden layer. At last, the simulation has been carried out on a NC milling machine to prove the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The traditional PID control, which is based on linearization, is often hard to obtain the optimal control effect on such nonlinear, multiple-output, strongly coupled systems like inverted pendulum. To solve the problem above, the BP neural network controller was developed for inverted pendulum. On the basis of establishing and analyzing the mathematical model of single inverted-pendulum, this paper established the state space expression, and then designed a neural network control system based on BP algorithm. The simulation was researched by Matlab and the running results show that this control has good robustness and can achieve satisfactory control effect.

A neural network control method for heading control of miniature unmanned helicopter is proposed. For the complexity of miniature helicopter aerodynamics, it is difficult to identify the unknown parameters of yaw dynamics model. To design heading controller of miniature helicopter without modelling yaw dynamics, BP neural network is designed as heading controller, which is trained by collected flight data. By training, the neural network controller can learn the artificial operation strategy and realize the heading control of miniature unmanned helicopter. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed neural network control method.

This paper presents a simple strategy for controlling an interleaved boost converter that is used to reduce the current fluctuations in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, with high impact on the fuel cell lifetime. To keep the output voltage at the desired reference value under the strong fluctuations of the fuel flow rate, fuel supply pressure, and temperature, a neural network controller is developed and implemented using Matlab-Simulink (R2012b, MathWorks limited, London, UK). The advantage of this controller resides in its simplicity, where limited number of tests are carried out using Matlab-Simulink to construct it. To investigate the robustness of the proposed converter and the neural network controller, strong variations of the fuel flow rate, fuel supply pressure, temperature and air supply pressure are applied to both the fuel cell and the neural network controller of the converter. The simulation results show the effectiveness and the robustness of the both the proposed controller and converter to control the load voltage and minimize the current and voltage ripples. As a result of that, fuel cell current oscillations are considerably reduced on the one hand, while on the other hand, the load voltage is stabilized during transient variations of the fuel cell inputs.
