Control of Left Ventricular Assist Device using Neural Network Feedback Feedforward Controller

인공신경망 Feedforward제어기를 이용한 좌심실보조장치의 제어실험

In this paper,we present neural network for control of Left Ventricular Assist Device(LVAD)system with a pneumatically driven mock cirulation system. It is necessary to apply high perfomance control techniques, since the LVAD system represent nonlinear and time-varing characteristics. Fortunately, the neural network can be applied to control of a nonliner dynamic system by learning capability. In this study,we identify the LVAD system with neural network and control the LVAD system by PID controller and neural network feedforward controller. The ability and effectiveness of controlling the LVAD system using the proposed algorithm will be demonstrated by computer simulation and experiment.
