In this article, an approach for improving the performance of industrialrobots using multilayer feedforward neural networks is presented. Thecontroller based on this approach consists of two main components: a PIDcontrol and a neural network. The function of the neural network is tocomplement the PID control for the specific purpose of improving theperformance of the system over time. Analytical and experimental resultsconcerning this synthesis of neural networks and PID control are presented.The analytical results assert that the performance of PID-controlledindustrial robots can be improved through proper utilization of the learningand generalization ability of neural networks. The experimental results,obtained through actual implementation using a commercial industrial robot,demonstrate the effectiveness of such control synthesis for practicalapplications. The results of this work suggest that neural networks could beadded to existing PID-controlled industrial robots for performanceimprovement.
