Abstract

The focus of this paper is the use of an Adaptive Radial Basis Function Artificial Neural Network (ARBFANN) for the control of Two-Flexible-Link Robots (TFLR). Flexible links are modeled as Bernoulli beams. The Assumed Mode Method (AMM) together with the Lagrangian approach is used to derive the closed-form dynamic. Two modes are considered for each link. Singular perturbation method is used to derive a composite control for the TFLR. A stable robust two-time scale controller without any data for modeling is developed. The slow subsystem is controlled by an ARBFANN based on global approximation while the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller stabilizes the fast subsystem and guarantee the closed-loop stability. The ARBFANN with a sliding mode robust term is trained on-line to approximate unknown nonlinear system dynamics, suppress errors in the modeling of neural network and, guarantee closed-loop stability. To verify the validity of the proposed control strategy, simulation results are included.
