Adaptive Dynamic Programming for Direct Current Servo Motor

In this paper, a control method for continuous time Direct Current (DC) servo motor, is presented based on adaptive dynamic programming. The core of this paper is the application of adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) to control the DC servo motor system. The program includes three main steps: (i) The mathematical model of DC servo motor system is established, and the feasibility of solving the problem with ADP is analyzed; (ii) On the basis of introducing the theory of ADP, we propose a solution to the problem; (iii) The simulation of the DC servo motor system is carried out. The contribution of this paper is that ADP, which is one of the most important methods in the field of optimal control, is used to solve the traditional problem. Finally, simulation study is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the presented algorithm.
