Abstract:
1. A system for controlling a process, the system comprising: a controller connected to receive a command signal for control of the process and an output signal from the process, the controller generating a control signal based on the command signal and the output signal; and a neural network connected to receive the command signal, the output signal, or the control signal, or combinations thereof, the neural network using at least one of the command signal, the output signal, or the control signal, or combinations thereof, to modify connection weights of the neural network on-line as the neural network and controller are used to control the process, the neural network generating an adaptive control signal based on the modified connection weights and at least one of the command signal, the output signal, or the control signal, or combinations thereof, the system generating a process control signal to control the process based on the adaptive control signal and the control signal from the controller.
