Robust Neurooptimal Control for a Robot via Adaptive Dynamic Programming

摘要

We aim at the optimization of the tracking control of a robot to improve the robustness, under the effect of unknown nonlinear perturbations. First, an auxiliary system is introduced, and optimal control of the auxiliary system can be seen as an approximate optimal control of the robot. Then, neural networks (NNs) are employed to approximate the solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation under the frame of adaptive dynamic programming. Next, based on the standard gradient attenuation algorithm and adaptive critic design, NNs are trained depending on the designed updating law with relaxing the requirement of initial stabilizing control. In light of the Lyapunov stability theory, all the error signals can be proved to be uniformly ultimately bounded. A series of simulation studies are carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed control.
