Journal ArticleDOI
Neural networks for control systems: a survey
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the promise of artificial neural networks in the realm of modelling, identification and control of nonlinear systems and explore the links between the fields of control science and neural networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nonlinear disturbance observer for robotic manipulators
TL;DR: The global exponential stability of the proposed disturbance observer (DO) is guaranteed by selecting design parameters, which depend on the maximum velocity and physical parameters of robotic manipulators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-tuning controller
David Clarke,Peter J. Gawthrop +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cost function which incorporates system input, output and set-point variations is selected, and a control law for a known system is derived, and the control input is chosen to make the prediction zero.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-tuning control
David Clarke,Peter J. Gawthrop +1 more
TL;DR: The closed-loop properties of various classes of self tuner, convergence concepts and results, and some of the technical problems involved with implementing self tuners on small computers or microprocessors are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brief Optimal control of nonlinear systems: a predictive control approach
TL;DR: It is shown that the closed-loop dynamics under this nonlinear predictive controller explicitly depend on design parameters (prediction time and control order) and the design of an optimal generalised predictive controller to achieve desired time-domain specifications for nonlinear systems can be performed by looking up tables.
