Self-Organizing Double Function-Link Fuzzy Brain Emotional Control System Design for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

This article aims to propose a more efficient control algorithm for uncertain nonlinear systems. An intelligent self-organizing double function-link fuzzy brain emotional control system is proposed which comprises a self-organizing double function-link fuzzy brain emotional controller (SDFLFBEC) and a compensation controller. The proposed SDFLFBEC consists of four substructures and a fuzzy inference system. The substructures are the prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, a double function-link network (FLN) and a self-organizing structure. The prefrontal cortex and the amygdala networks work as a mathematical form that presumes the judgment and emotion of a brain. Specifically, a new double FLN is designed to support the above networks for updating their weights. Next, a self-organizing structure can automatically add or prune the layers to achieve efficient network structure. In addition, the fuzzy inference rules are presented to explain the inference processes of the amygdala and orbitofrontal networks. From the above factors, the proposed SDFLFBEC can effectively reduce the tracking error and achieve favorable control performance. The parameters of the control system are adjusted online using the derived adaptation laws that are taken from a Lyapunov function so that the stability of the system is ensured. Simulation studies of a biped robot and the experimental results of a magnetic levitation system are employed to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed SDFLFBEC.
