In this paper, the stabilization of an inverted pendulum system is studied. Here, the PID control method is adopted to make the system stable. In order to adjust the PID gains, a three-layer neural network, which is based on the back propagation method, is used. Meanwhile, the time for training the neural network depends on the initial values of PID gains and connection weights. Hence, the genetic algorithm Is considered to shorten the time to find the desired values. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This research deals with posture optimization for humanoid robot against external forces using genetic algorithm and neural network. When the robot takes a motion to push an object, the torque of each joint is generated by reaction force at the palm. This study aims to optimize the posture of the humanoid robot that will change this torque. This study finds an optimized posture using a genetic algorithm such that torques are evenly distributed over the all joints. Then, a number of different optimized postures are generated from various the reaction forces at the palm. The data is to be used as training data of MLP(Multi-Layer Perceptron) neural network with BP(Back Propagation) learning algorithm. Humanoid robot can find the optimal posture at different reaction forces in real time using the trained neural network include non-training data.

This paper proposes an efficient principal feature extraction of the image data using neural networks of a new learning algorithm. The proposed learning algorithm is a backpropagation(BP) algorithm based on the steepest descent and dynamic tunneling. The BP algorithm based on the steepest descent is applied for high-speed optimization, and the BP algorithm based on the dynamic tunneling is also applied for global optimization. Converging to the local minimum by the BP algorithm of steepest descent, the new initial weights for escaping the local minimum is estimated by the BP algorithm of dynamic tunneling. The proposed algorithm has been applied to the 3 image data of 12${\times}$12pixels and the Lenna image of 128${\times}$128 pixels respectively. The simulation results shows that the proposed algorithm has better performances of the convergence and the feature extraction, in comparison with those using the Sanger method and the Foldiak method for single-layer neural networks and the BP algorithm for multilayer neural network.

In this paper, an analysis of the stability for a class of discrete-time neural network control systems is presentd. Based on Lyapunov's direct method, a sufficient stability condition for the neural network control systems is systematically derived and the modified back propagation algorithm which reflects the derived stability condition is suggested. The modified BP originates from the derived sufficient condition and guarantees the exponential stability of the resulting trained closed system. Finally, computer simulation is included to show an example where the derived stability condition and the BP modified bythe condition is used to train the control plant.

Locating and assessing the severity of damage in large or complex structures is one of the most challenging problems in the field of civil engineering. Considering that the wavelet packet transform (WPT) has the ability to clearly reflect the damage characteristics of structural response signals and the artificial neural network (ANN) is capable of learning in an unsupervised manner and of forming new classes when the structural exhibits change, this paper investigates a multi-stage structural damage diagnosis method by using the WPT and ANN based on "energy-damage" theory, in which, the wavelet packet component energies are first extracted to be damage sensitive feature and then adopted as input into an improved back propagation (BP) neural network model for damage diagnosis in a step by step mode. To validate the efficacy of the presented approach of the damage diagnosis, the benchmark structure of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is employed in the case study. The results of damage diagnosis indicate that the method herein is computationally efficient and is able to detect the existence of different damage patterns in the simulated experiment where minor, moderate and severe damages corresponds to involving in the loss of stiffness on braces or the removal bracing in various combinations.

The printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) with airfoil fins has the benefits of high compactness, high efficiency and superior heat transfer performance. A novel multi-objective optimization approach is presented to design the airfoil fin PCHE in this paper. Three optimization design variables (the vertical number, the horizontal number and the staggered number) are obtained by means of dimensionless airfoil fin arrangement parameters. And the optimization objective is to maximize the Nusselt number (Nu) and minimize the Fanning friction factor (f). Firstly, in order to investigate the impact of design variables on the thermal-hydraulic performance, a parametric study via the design of experiments is proposed. Subsequently, the relationships between three optimization design variables and two objective functions (Nu and f) are characterized by an improved particle swarm optimization-backpropagation artificial neural network. Finally, a multi-objective optimization is used to construct the Pareto optimal front, in which the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II is used. The comprehensive performance is found to be the best when the airfoil fins are completely staggered arrangement. And the best compromise solution based on the TOPSIS method is identified as the optimal solution, which can achieve the requirement of high heat transfer performance and low flow resistance.

A modified Hybrid learning rule(MHLR) is proposed, which is derived from combining the Back Propagation algorithm that is known as an excellent classifier with modified Hebbian by changing the orginal Hebbian which is a good feature extractor. The network architecture of MHLR is multi-layered neural network. The weights of MHLR are calculated from sum of the weight of BP and the weight of modified Hebbian between input layer and higgen layer and from the weight of BP between gidden layer and output layer. To evaluate the performance, BP, MHLR and the proposed Hybrid learning rule (HLR) are simulated by Monte Carlo method. As the result, MHLR is the best in recognition rate and HLR is the second. In learning speed, HLR and MHLR are much the same, while BP is relatively slow.

In this paper, we are dealing with the problem of controlling unknown nonlinear dynamical system by using neural networks. A novel error self-recurrent(ESR) neural model is presented to perform black-box identification. Through the various outcome of the experiment, a new neural network is seen to be considerably faster than the BP algorithm and has advantages of being less affected by poor initial weights and learning rate. These characteristics make it flexible to design the controller in real-time based on neural networks model. In addition, we design an adaptive PID controller that Keyser suggested by using ESR neural networks, and present a method on the implementation of adaptive controller based on neural network for practical applications. We obtained good results in the case of robot manipulator experiment.

This paper proposes four approaches for approximately realizing nonlinear mappling of interval vectors by neural networks. In the proposed approaches, training data for the learning of neural networks are the paris of interval input vectors and interval target output vectors. The first approach is a direct application of the standard BP (Back-Propagation) algorithm with a pre-processed training data. The second approach is an application of the two BP algorithms. The third approach is an extension of the BP algorithm to the case of interval input-output data. The last approach is an extension of the third approach to neural network with interval weights and interval biases. These approaches are compared with one another by computer simulations.

In this paper, the convergence and the learning accuracy of the back-propagation (BP) method in neural network are investigated by 1) analyzing the reason for decelerating the convergence of BP method and examining the rapid deceleration of the convergence when the learning is executed on the part of sigmoid activation function with the very small first derivative and 2) proposing the modified logistic activation function by defining, the convergence factor based on the analysis. Learning on the output patterns of binary as well as analog forms are tested by the proposed method. In binary output patter, the test results show that the convergence is accelerated and the learning accuracy is improved, and the weights and thresholds are converged so that the stability of neural network can be enhanced. In analog output patter, the results show that with extensive initial transient phenomena the learning error is decreased according to the convergence factor, subsequently the learning accuracy is enhanced.
