Abstract
This article considers intelligent control for a class of nonholonomic systems using a neurocontroller (NC) and a genetic algorithm (GA). First, we introduce the design of the NC with use of the GA, and then we apply the NC to control two typical examples of nonholonomic systems: a hopping robot in the flight phase and a four-wheel vehicle. In order to verify the effectiveness of the control system, the performance of the NC is investigated and also compared to that of the so-called direct gradient descent control (DGDC) approach, which is able to utilize a GA with the same examples in the comparison. Simulations show that the NC could achieve a competitive performance and control the nonholonomic systems effectively. Furthermore, the use of the NN and GA provide a straightforward solution for the problem without the need of the chained form conversion.
