Adaptive (neural network) control in computer-integrated-manufacturing

Abstract

Adaptive control using neural network processors is proposed for use in a highly distributed CIM environment. First, neural network concepts are used to represent and to model knowledge in robotics and factory automation. Then, the model loaded into a neurocomputer serves as the distributed, adaptive, real-time controller in a CIM environment. The adaptive control problem is defined, and the neural network approach is presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
