Description
Summary:This paper presents a scrutinized investigation on system identification using artificial neural network (ANNs). The main goal for this work is to emphasis the potential benefits of this architecture for real system identification. Among the most prevalent networks are multi-layered perceptron NNs using Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) training algorithm and Elman recurrent NNs. These methods are used for the identification of a twin rotor multi-input multi-output system (TRMS). The TRMS can be perceived as a static test rig for an air vehicle with formidable control challenges. Therefore, an analysis in modeling of nonlinear aerodynamic function is needed and carried out in both time and frequency domains based on observed input and output data. Experimental results are obtained using a laboratory set-up system, confirming the viability and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
