Abstract
In this paper, adaptive general type-2 fuzzy neural network control for motion balance adjusting of a power-line inspection robot is developed. It is used to enhance the anti-interference ability of the controlled plant. General type-2 fuzzy system is adopted because of its ability to more effectively handle uncertainties which may exist as external disturbances and parameter perturbations. The structure of general type-2 fuzzy system is designed by mimicking the neural network. The adaptive laws can be obtained based on the sliding mode control theory. This provides a kind of dynamic general type-2 fuzzy system whose membership functions and consequent parts are changing adaptively. The proposed controller is used to control an under-actuated non-linear power-line inspection (PLI) robot. Different simulation conditions are considered to test the anti-interference ability of the proposed controller. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method can strengthen the PLI robot’s anti-interference ability in a better way as compared to its interval type-2 fuzzy counterpart and PD controller.
