Comparison of artificial neural network adaptive control techniques for a nonlinear system with delay

Abstract

This research paper compares two neural-network-based adaptive controllers, namely the Hybrid Deep Learning Neural Network Controller (HDLNNC) and the Adaptive Model Predictive Control with Nonlinear Prediction and Linearization along the Predicted Trajectory (AMPC-NPLPT), for controlling a nonlinear object with delay. Specifically, the study investigates the effect of delay on the accuracy of the two controllers. The experimental results demonstrate that the AMPC-NPLPT approach outperforms HDLNNC regarding control accuracy for the given nonlinear object control problem.
