Abstract
This paper explores an advanced adaptive controller for Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs). PAMs offer lightweight, simple, and safe operation advantages but are difficult to model and control due to the non-linearity and hysteresis caused by their physical manufacturing. An adaptive controller based on a neural approximation is proposed to address these challenges, incorporating Radial Basis Function algorithms and adapting to model parameter uncertainty. The efficiency of the control approach is confirmed through a multi-scenario experiment with high-accuracy results, promising future developments in intelligent control of PAMs.
