Laboratory systems control with adaptively tuned higher order neural units

Abstract

This paper summarizes the design theory of linear and second order polynomial adaptive state-feedback controllers for SISO systems using the Batch-propagation Through Time (BPTT) learning algorithm. Deeper focus is given towards real time implementation on various laboratory experiments, with an accompaniment of corresponding theoretical simulations, to demonstrate the feasibility of use of polynomial adaptive state-feedback controllers for real time control. Raspberry Pi and open-source scripting language Python are also exhibited as a suitable implementation platform, for both testing and rapid prototyping as well as for teaching of adaptive identification and control.
