This paper proposes an improved wavelet neural network-internal model controller (WNN-IMC) for the rocket launcher position servo system. Due to complex nonlinearities and uncertainties of external disturbances in the rocket launcher position servo system, it is vitally challenging to establish its accurate model by the mechanical modeling technique. A wavelet neural network (WNN) identification method is proposed to determine the system mathematical model through test datum, which optimized by the hybrid algorithm of differential evolution (DE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Then, the proposed method is applied to identify the semi-physical simulation platform of the rocket launcher velocity servo system. The results demonstrate that the validity of the DEPSO-WNN method is better than that of the WNN and PSO-WNN methods. Finally, compared with the WNN-IMC controller and the ADRC controller, the effectiveness of the improved WNN-IMC controller is verified by the semi-physical simulation experiments.

In this study, a fuzzy wavelet neural network with the improved Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm (FWNN‐LM) is proposed to conquer nonlinearity and uncertain disturbance problems in the AC servo system. First of all, use the particle swarm optimization algorithm based on Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) to optimize parameters in the FWNN controller. Second, the potentiality of fuzzy rules (PFR) method is developed to optimize the structure of the FWNN by error reduction ratio (ERR). Furthermore, stability of FWNN‐LM is proved by the Lyapunov method. Finally, simulation and prototype test results show that this method can improve the accuracy and robustness of the system in presence of load disturbances and parameter perturbations.

In this paper, a novel active disturbance rejection control (NADRC) with a super‐twisting extended state observer (SESO) is utilized in the rocket launcher servo system. The main arguments in the shipborne rocket launcher system are control accuracy and antidisturbance ability, which are closely related to phase delay and bandwidth. Firstly, we use Taylor’s formula approach to compensate the phase delay in traditional tracking differentiator (TD). Secondly, we design the parallel structured SESO to improve the observation bandwidth, so that it can estimate states with desired accuracy in NADRC. Finally, sinusoidal simulation results show Taylor’s formula‐based TD can suppress noise and compensate phase delays effectively. In comparison with traditional ADRC, the proposed NADRC is shown to have better tracking performance and stronger robustness. Semiphysical experiments are conducted to prove the feasibility of NADRC.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have been widely applied in the shipborne rocket launcher systems due to their high torque density and high efficiency. However, since there are many external disturbances from the shipborne rocket launcher, the tracking performance under random noises needs to be improved. In this paper, an improved finite control set optimal control (IFCSOC) based on a super-twisting extended state observer (SESO) is investigated for position tracking control of PMSMs. The SESO can improve the anti-interference ability of the proposed controller. Moreover, in order to improve tracking accuracy, Taylor’s formula is used to solve the phase-lag problem of nonlinear tracking differentiator in IFCSOC. Simulation shows that compared with conventional FCSOC, IFCSOC exhibits better robustness under random disturbances. Furthermore, the semiphysical experiment is conducted to verify the proposed IFCSOC strategy.

A hybrid computational intelligent approach which combines wavelet fuzzy neural network (WFNN) with switching particle swarm optimization (SPSO) algorithm is proposed to control the nonlinearity, wide variation in loads, time variation, and uncertain disturbance of the high-power AC servo system. The WFNN method integrated wavelet transforms with fuzzy rules and is proposed to achieve precise positioning control of the AC servo system. As the WFNN controller, the back-propagation method is used for the online learning algorithm. Moreover, the SPSO is proposed to adapt the learning rates of the WFNN online, where the velocity updating equation is according to a Markov chain, which makes it easy to jump the local minimum, and acceleration coefficients are dependent on mode switching. Furthermore, the stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed by using the Lyapunov method. The results of the simulation and the prototype test prove that the proposed approach can improve the steady-state performance and possess strong robustness to both parameter perturbation and load disturbance.
