An Orthogonal Projection-Based Approach

Conference paper (2022) - Johan Kon, Dennis Bruijnen, Jeroen van de Wijdeven, Marcel Heertjes, T.A.E. Oomen
Unknown nonlinear dynamics can limit the performance of model-based feedforward control. The aim of this paper is to develop a feedforward control framework for systems with unknown, typically nonlinear, dynamics. To address the unknown dynamics, a physics-based feedforward model is complemented by a neural network. The neural network output in the subspace of the model is penalized through orthogonal projection. This results in uniquely identifiable model coefficients, enabling increased performance and similar task flexibility with respect to the model-based controller. The feedforward framework is validated on a representative system with performance limiting nonlinear friction characteristics. ...

Physics-Guided Neural Networks with Linear Autoregressive Dynamics

Conference paper (2022) - Johan Kon, Dennis Bruijnen, Jeroen van de Wijdeven, Marcel Heertjes, T.A.E. Oomen
Unknown nonlinear dynamics often limit the tracking performance of feedforward control. The aim of this paper is to develop a feedforward control framework that can compensate these unknown nonlinear dynamics using universal function approximators. The feedforward controller is parametrized as a parallel combination of a physics-based model and a neural network, where both share the same linear autoregressive (AR) dynamics. This parametrization allows for efficient output-error optimization through Sanathanan-Koerner (SK) iterations. Within each SK-iteration, the output of the neural network is penalized in the subspace of the physicsbased model through orthogonal projection-based regularization, such that the neural network captures only the unmodelled dynamics, resulting in interpretable models. ...
