The basic control configuration is briefly presented and a new weight-tuning algorithm of NN is proposed with a dead-zone technique. Theoretical proof is given which shows that our modified algorithm guarantees the convergence of NN estimation error in the presence of disturbance. The simulation study demonstrates that the proposed weight-tuning algorithm is robust and less sensitive to noise compared to the standard backpropagation algorithm in identifying the robot inverse dynamics. Moreover, the simulation results also shows that the proposed NN learning control scheme can greatly reduce tracking errors as the iteration number increases.","PeriodicalId":300130,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control Intelligent Systems and Semiotics (Cat.

Wittgenstein (1968) insisted that linguistic meaning be defined in terms of use in language games. Peirce (1965) realized the importance of sign, signified, and interpretant in processes of semiosis. In particular, the connection between sign and signified does not take place in a platonic vacuum but is situated, embodied, embedded, and must be mediated by an interpretant. We introduce a rigorous mathematical notion of meaning, as (1) agent- and observer- perceptible information in interaction games between an agent and its environment or between an agent and other agents, that is (2) useful for satisfying homeostatic and other drives, needs, goals or intentions. With this framework it is possible to address issues of sensor- and actuator- design, origins, evolution, and maintenance for biological and artificial systems. Moreover, correspondences between channels of meaning are exploited by biological entities in predicting the behavior or reading the intent of others, as in predator-prey and social interaction. Social learning, imitation, communication of experience also develop and can be developed on this substrate of shared meaning.","PeriodicalId":300130,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control Intelligent Systems and Semiotics (Cat.

We address an approximate technique consisting in constraining the control functions to have a fixed structure (we chose feedforward neural networks). We are then able to obtain solutions that approximate the optimal ones within any desired degree of accuracy under very general conditions. Such a technique has proved to be effective in non-LQG classical optimal control and in team problems not solvable analytically.","PeriodicalId":300130,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control Intelligent Systems and Semiotics (Cat.

The learning control does not require differentiation of tracking error. As the sampling period is set to be small enough, a sufficient condition is derived to guarantee the convergence of the learning process. This method can be applied to a more general class of nonlinear continuous-time systems that the most existing ILC methods fail to work.","PeriodicalId":300130,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control Intelligent Systems and Semiotics (Cat.

In this scheme, the controller uses the system error, the integral of the system error, and the derivative of the system error as its inputs but the mapping from the inputs to the output is nonlinear. The corresponding nonlinear mapping may be specified based on the control requirement. The NPIDC strategy is realized using neural networks. For online training of the neural network based NPIDC, a PID gradient descent optimizing algorithm with momentum term is proposed. Then, the convergent characteristic of the algorithm is presented. Finally, a simulation study of applying the neural NPIDC strategy to a continuous-stirred-tank-reactor and a van de Vusse reactor is illustrated.","PeriodicalId":300130,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control Intelligent Systems and Semiotics (Cat.
