Neural Network Adaptive Controller

Research prototype integrating neural network models of mechanical nonlinearities with adaptive control algorithms for BLDC drives. Experimental validation on a 1-DOF robot arm test bench.

PythonNeural NetworksMPCAdaptive Control

Overview

This is the core experimental platform of my doctoral research. The project combines neural network-based modeling of mechanical systems with adaptive control strategies for BLDC motors.

Research Goals

  • Model friction, elasticity, and hysteresis using neural networks
  • Integrate these models with adaptive control algorithms
  • Compare performance against classical controllers (FOC, PI)
  • Validate on a physical 1-DOF robot arm test bench

Current Status

Work in progress — initial simulation results are promising. Experimental validation planned for 2026/2027.
