Abstract: This article recalls the idea of neural controllers with application to the control of mechanical systems. Basic structures of such controllers are suggested, and the results of simulations comparing their performance to that of conventional and fuzzy logic controllers are shown. The experiments indicate that the performance of the proposed neural controllers is satisfactory.
