The design is considered in the context of the decentralized control of manipulators where ease of implementation and reliability are desirable characteristics. The design incorporates a nonlinear sigmoidal loop gain characteristic within a conventional proportional feedback structure. Proper selection of sigmoid parameters can significantly improve tracking performance in comparison with conventional designs using a constant loop gain. A methodology for selecting and adaptively updating sigmoid parameters is presented. The adaptive updating scheme is implemented with shunting short-term memory neurons. The implementation exploits the nonlinear response characteristics of these neurons in a learning process which updates the sigmoid parameters. The design is illustrated for a direct-drive joint control.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":384081,"journal":{"name":"15th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128247289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This permits the operation of the converter at a near unity load power factor independent of the operating frequency. Consequently, for a given output power, the installed kVA capacity of the converter is minimized, and the system simplicity is maintained.

The parameters of the regulator are adjusted by the outer loop, which contains an online parameter estimator. The estimated parameters are the load inertia and friction. This self-tuning regulator has been simulated with PC.MATLAB, and the results demonstrate the high performance of the scheme.
