MODIFIED TRAINING METHOD FOR FEEDFORWARD NEURAL NETWORKS AND ITS APPLICATION in 4-LINK SCARA ROBOT IDENTIFICATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this research the results of applying Artificial Neural Networks with modified activation function to
perform the online and offline identification of four Degrees of Freedom (4-DOF) Selective Compliance
Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) manipulator robot will be described. The proposed model of
identification strategy consists of a feed-forward neural network with a modified activation function that
operates in parallel with the SCARA robot model. Feed-Forward Neural Networks (FFNN) which have
been trained online and offline have been used, without requiring any previous knowledge about the
system to be identified. The activation function that is used in the hidden layer in FFNN is a modified
version of the wavelet function. This approach has been performed very successfully, with better results
obtained with the FFNN with modified wavelet activation function (FFMW) when compared with classic
FFNN with Sigmoid activation function (FFS) .One can notice from the simulation that the FFMW can be
capable of identifying the 4-Links of SCARA robot more efficiently than the classic FFS.
