%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Multilayer Perceptron for Tanker Ship Heading Regulation %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % By: Kevin Passino % Version: 4/4/00 % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% clear % Clear all variables in memory % Initialize ship parameters % (can test two conditions, "ballast" or "full"): ell=350; % Length of the ship (in meters) u=5; % Nominal speed (in meters/sec) %u=3; % A lower speed where the ship is more difficult to control abar=1; % Parameters for nonlinearity bbar=1; % The parameters for the tanker under "ballast" conditions % (a heavy ship) are: K_0=5.88; tau_10=-16.91; tau_20=0.45; tau_30=1.43; % The parameters for the tanker under "full" conditions (a ship % that weighs less than one under "ballast" conditions) are: %K_0=0.83; %tau_10=-2.88; %tau_20=0.38; %tau_30=1.07; % Some other plant parameters are: K=K_0*(u/ell); tau_1=tau_10*(ell/u); tau_2=tau_20*(ell/u); tau_3=tau_30*(ell/u); % Parameters for the multilayer perceptron % The first hidden layer is trivial, with unity weights and a zero bias % Weights/biases in the second hidden layer: w112=10; w122=10; b12=-200*pi/180; b22=+200*pi/180; % Weights/biases in the third hidden layer: w113=-80*pi/180; w223=-80*pi/180; b13=0; b23=80*pi/180; % The bias in the output layer is zero and the two % output layer weights are unity. % Now, you can proceed to do the simulation or simply view the nonlinear % surface generated by the neural controller. %flag1=input('\n Do you want to simulate the \n neural control system \n for the tanker? \n (type 1 for yes and 0 for no) '); %if flag1==1, % Next, we initialize the simulation: t=0; % Reset time to zero index=1; % This is time's index (not time, its index). tstop=4000; % Stopping time for the simulation (in seconds) step=1; % Integration step size T=10; % The controller is implemented in discrete time and % this is the sampling time for the controller. % Note that the integration step size and the sampling % time are not the same. In this way we seek to simulate % the continuous time system via the Runge-Kutta method and % the discrete time controller as if it were % implemented by a digital computer. Hence, we sample % the plant output every T seconds and at that time % output a new value of the controller output. counter=10; % This counter will be used to count the number of integration % steps that have been taken in the current sampling interval. % Set it to 10 to begin so that it will compute a controller % output at the first step. % For our example, when 10 integration steps have been % taken we will then we will sample the ship heading % and the reference heading and compute a new output % for the controller. x=[0;0;0]; % First, set the state to be a vector x(1)=0; % Set the initial heading to be zero x(2)=0; % Set the initial heading rate to be zero. % We would also like to set x(3) initially but this % must be done after we have computed the output % of the controller. In this case, by % choosing the reference trajectory to be % zero at the beginning and the other initial conditions % as they are, and the controller as designed, % we will know that the output of the controller % will start out at zero so we could have set % x(3)=0 here. To keep things more general, however, % we set the intial condition immediately after % we compute the first controller output in the % loop below. % Next, we start the simulation of the system. This is the main % loop for the simulation of the control system. while t <= tstop % First, we define the reference input psi_r (desired heading). if t<100, psi_r(index)=0; end % Request heading of 0 deg if t>=100, psi_r(index)=45*(pi/180); end % Request heading of 45 deg if t>2000, psi_r(index)=0; end % Then request heading of 0 deg %if t>4000, psi_r(index)=45*(pi/180); end % Then request heading of 45 deg %if t>6000, psi_r(index)=0; end % Then request heading of 0 deg %if t>8000, psi_r(index)=45*(pi/180); end % Then request heading of 45 deg %if t>10000, psi_r(index)=0; end % Then request heading of 0 deg %if t>12000, psi_r(index)=45*(pi/180); end % Then request heading of 45 deg % Next, suppose that there is sensor noise for the heading sensor with that is % additive, with a uniform distribution on [- 0.01,+0.01] deg. %s(index)=0.01*(pi/180)*(2*rand-1); s(index)=0; % This allows us to remove the noise. psi(index)=x(1)+s(index); % Heading of the ship (possibly with sensor noise). if counter == 10, % When the counter reaches 10 then execute the % controller counter=0; % First, reset the counter % Multilayer perceptron controller calculations: e(index)=psi_r(index)-psi(index); % Computes error (first layer of perceptron) xbar1(index)=b12+w112*e(index); % Compute inputs to activation functions in second hidden layer xbar2(index)=b22+w122*e(index); x11(index)=1/(1+exp(-xbar1(index))); % Compute output of activation functions x21(index)=1/(1+exp(-xbar2(index))); delta(index)=(b13+w113*x11(index)+b23+w223*x21(index)); % Compute second hidden layer and output layer % % A conventinal proportional controller: %delta(index)=-e(index); else % This goes with the "if" statement to check if the counter=10 % so the next lines up to the next "end" statement are executed % whenever counter is not equal to 10 % Now, even though we do not compute the neural controller at each % time instant, we do want to save the data at its inputs and output at % each time instant for the sake of plotting it. Hence, we need to % compute these here (note that we simply hold the values constant): e(index)=e(index-1); delta(index)=delta(index-1); end % This is the end statement for the "if counter=10" statement % Next, comes the plant: % Now, for the first step, we set the initial condition for the % third state x(3). if t==0, x(3)=-(K*tau_3/(tau_1*tau_2))*delta(index); end % Next, the Runge-Kutta equations are used to find the next state. % Clearly, it would be better to use a Matlab "function" for % F (but here we do not, so we can have only one program). time(index)=t; % First, we define a wind disturbance against the body of the ship % that has the effect of pressing water against the rudder %w(index)=0.5*(pi/180)*sin(2*pi*0.001*t); % This is an additive sine disturbance to % the rudder input. It is of amplitude of % 0.5 deg. and its period is 1000sec. %delta(index)=delta(index)+w(index); % Next, implement the nonlinearity where the rudder angle is saturated % at +-80 degrees if delta(index) >= 80*(pi/180), delta(index)=80*(pi/180); end if delta(index) <= -80*(pi/180), delta(index)=-80*(pi/180); end % Next, we use the formulas to implement the Runge-Kutta method % (note that here only an approximation to the method is implemented where % we do not compute the function at multiple points in the integration step size).
