Abstract

In this paper, an actor critic neural network-based adaptive control scheme for micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes suffering from multiresource disturbances is proposed. Faced with multiresource interferences consisting of parametric uncertainties, strong couplings between axes, Coriolis forces, and variable external disturbances, an actor critic neural network is introduced, where the actor neural network is employed to estimate the packaged disturbances and the critic neural network is utilized to supervise the system performance. Hence, strong robustness against uncertainties and better tracking properties can be derived for MEMS gyroscopes. Aiming at handling the nonlinearities inherent in gyroscopes without analytically differentiating the virtual control signals, dynamic surface control (DSC) rather than backstepping control method is employed to divide the 2nd order system into two 1st order systems and design the actual control policy. Moreover, theoretical analyses along with simulation experiments are conducted with a view to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

Summary

Introduction

Easy integration, and mass production, micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes are indispensable angular rate sensors in a myriad of areas including inertial guidance, aerospace, and national defense industry [1,2,3,4,5]. MEMS gyroscopes are inherently accounted for strong uncertainties and nonlinearities, rendering the high-precision control a challenging issue. Aiming at reducing the effects of uncertainties and enhancing system behaviours, several advanced schemes have been devised, such as neural networks (NNs) [6,7,8], extended state observers (ESOs) [9], and fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) [10], where the packaged disturbances are online estimated and compensated in the control policy. It is meaningful to devise a control scheme capable of recovering unknown interferences and supervising system tracking properties at the same time
