Abstract | The acceleration in a second-order system is directly controllable by the input. The Acceleration-Oriented Learning Controller generates the input to control a second-order system and adjust this input based on observations of the system's response in order to obtain a particular acceleration pattern. Large changes with time and some nonlinearities can result in situations which the controller can not handle satisfactorily in the normal manner. Several of these situations are discussed along with the provisions which were or could be made to handle them. The Acceleration-Oriented Learning Controller was tested on some time-varying and nonlinear second-order systems. The results show that it can, in fact, obtain a desired acceleration pattern when controlling a wide range of second-order systems. |
