In this paper, an optimal variable structure controller with a multilayer neural inverse identifier is proposed. A multilayer neural network with error back propagation learning algorithm is used for construction the neural inverse identifier which is an observer of the external disturbances and the parameter variations of the system. The variable structure controller with the multilayer neural inverse identifier not only needs a small part of a priori knowledge of the bounds of external disturbances and parameter variations but also alleviates the chattering magnitude of the control input. Also, an optimal sliding line is designed by the optimal linear regulator technique and an integrator is introduced for solving the reaching phase problem. Computer simulation results show that the proposed approach gives the effective control results by reducing the chattering magnitude of control input.

This paper describes a neural network based control scheme with MRAC. The system consists of two neural network; one is for identifier and the other is for controller. Identification is firstly performed to learn the behavior of the nonlinear plant. Neural net controller is next trained by backpropagating the error at the output of plant through the identifier. Also the training method used in this paper repeatedly updates weights of neural network to track the reference model.

In this paper we propose the resolved motion controller using a neural network for a robot manipulator. Neural identifier designed by a neural network is trained by using a feedback force as an error signal. The identifier approximates the output of a unknown nonlinear system by monitoring both the input and the output of this system. If the neural network is sufficiently trained well, it does not require either strict modelling of the manipulator or precise parameter estimation. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated by computer simulation using a two-link planar robot.

A time-optimal control law for quick, strongly nonlinear systems has been developed and demonstrated. This procedure involves the utilzation of neural networks as state feedback controllers that learn the time-optimal control actions by means of an iterative minimization of both the final time and the final state error for the systems with constrained inputs and/or states. A neural identifier or a genetic algorithm identifier could be utilized for modeling the partially known systems and the unknown systems. The nature of neural networks as a parallel processor would circumvent the problem of "curwe of dimensionality". The control law has been demonstrated for both a torque input motor and a velocity input motor identified by a genetic algorithm called GENOCOPed GENOCOP.

This paper presents a decentralized quadratic regulation architecture with feedforward neural networks for the control problem of complex systems. In this method, the decentralized technique was used to treat several simple subsystems instead of a full complex system in order to reduce training time of neural networks, and the neural networks' nonlinear mapping ability is exploited to handle the nonlinear interaction variables between subsystems. The decentralized regulating architecture is composed of local neuro-controllers, local neuro-identifiers and an overall interaction neuro-identifier. With the interaction neuro-identifier that catches interaction characteristics, a local neuro-identifier is trained to simulate a subsystem dynamics. A local neuro-controller is trained to learn how to control the subsystem by using generalized Backprogation Through Time(BTT) algorithm. The proposed neural network based decentralized regulating scheme is applied in the power System Stabilization(PSS) control problem for an imterconnected power system, and compared with that by a conventional centralized LQ regulator for the power system.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive mechanism based on immune algorithm and neural network identifier technique. It is also applied fur an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) system. When the immune algorithm is applied to the PID controller, there exists the case that the plant is damaged due to the abrupt change of PID parameters since the parameters are almost adjusted randomly. To solve this problem, we use the neural network identifier (NNI) technique fur modeling the plant and humoral immune algorithm (HIA) which performs the parameter tuning of the considered model, respectively. After the PID parameters are determined in this off-line manner, these gains are then applied to the plant for the on-line control using an immune adaptive algorithm. Moreover, even though the neural network model may not be accurate enough initially, the weighting parameters are adjusted to be accurate through the on-line fine tuning. Finally, the simulation and experimental result fur the control of steering and speed of AGV system illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme. These results for the proposed method also show that it has better performance than other conventional controller design methods.

This paper presnts a controller for the heat capacity of thermal storage systems using off-peak electricity which is composed of an identifier using neural networks and a storage time adjuster in order to store exactly the required thermal energy without loss. Since thermal storage systems have nonlinear characteristics and large time constant, even if we predict the heating load accurately, it is very difficult to store exactly the required thermal energy. Thus, in the neural network for the identifier, the adaptive learning rate for high learning speed and bit inputs based on state changes of thermal storage power source are used. Also a hardware for the controller using a microprocessor is developed. The performance of the proposed controller is shown by experiment.

The objective of this paper is to develop the new robust and adaptive control system against external environments as applying the probabilistic recognition which is one of the inherent properties of immune system, ability of learning and memorization, and regulation theory of immune network to the system under engineering point of view.

To verify the performance of the proposed HIA PID controller, some experiments for the control of steering and speed of that AGV are performed.

Todays the efficient management of container has not been realized in container terminal, because of the excessive quantity of container transported and manual system. For the efficient and automated management of container in terminal, the automated container identifier recognition system in terminal is a significant problem. However, the identifier recognition rate is decreased owing to the difficulty of image preprocessing caused the refraction of container surface, the change of weather and the damaged identifier characters. Therefore, this paper proposes more accurate system for container identifier recognition as suggestion of Line-Scan Proper Region Detect for stronger preprocessing against external noisy element and Moment Back-Propagation Neural Network to recognize identifier.
