Path Tracking Control of an Omni-Directional Service Robot Based on Model Predictive Control of Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System

摘要

In this paper, model predictive control (MPC) based on an adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is proposed to realize control of an omni-directional service robot in path tracking. The weight of the cost function in a traditional MPC needs to be manually adjusted, and it is difficult to adjust to a satisfactory value. In order to improve the performance and the control accuracy of MPC, a fuzzy system trained by ANFIS is used to adaptively adjust the weight of MPC’s cost function to reduce the error in the process of path tracking. The different simulation experiments are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the distance error of MPC based on ANFIS is reduced by more than 50% under different paths compared with a traditional MPC, and the angle error is reduced by more than 70%. Meanwhile, the stability is increased by around 60%. The results show the feasibility and superiority of MPC based on ANFIS.
