Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the problem of how human control strategy can be represented as a parametric model using a support vector machine (SVM) and how an SVM-based controller can be used in controlling dynamically stable systems. The SVM approach has been implemented in the balance control of Gyrover, which is a dynamically stable, statically unstable, single-wheel mobile robot. The experimental results that compare SVM with general artificial neural network approaches clearly demonstrate the superiority of the SVM approach with regard to human control strategy learning.
