Abstract
The theoretical developmentofa direct adaptivetracking controlarchitectureusingneuralnetworks ispresented. Emphasis is placed on utilization of neural networks in a ight control architecture based on feedback linearization of the aircraft dynamics. Neural networks are used to represent the nonlinear inverse transformation needed for feedback linearization. Neural networks may be rst trained off line using a nominalmathematicalmodel, which provides an approximate inversion that can accommodate the total ight envelope. Neural networks capable of on-line learning are required to compensate for inversion error, which may arise from imperfect modeling, approximate inversion, or sudden changes in aircraft dynamics. A stable weights adjustment rule for the on-line neural network is derived. Under mild assumptions on the nonlinearities representing the inversion error, the adaptation algorithm ensures that all of the signals in the loop are uniformly bounded and that the weights of the on-line neural network tend to constant values. Simulation results for an F-18 aircraft model are presented to illustrate the performance of the on-line neural network based adaptation algorithm.
