Dynamic model identification of IPMC actuator using fuzzy NARX model optimized by MPSO

Abstract

In this paper, a novel inverse dynamic fuzzy NARX model is used for modeling and identifying the IPMC-based actuator’s inverse dynamic model. The contact force variation and highly nonlinear cross effect of the IPMC-based actuator are thoroughly modeled based on the inverse fuzzy NARX model-based identification process using experiment input-output training data. This paper proposes the novel use of a modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) to generate the inverse fuzzy NARX (IFN) model for a highly nonlinear IPMC actuator system. The results show that the novel inverse dynamic fuzzy NARX model trained by MPSO  algorithm yields outstanding performance and perfect accuracy.
