An aerial work platform (AWP) is a type of off highway vehicle with a long beam to provide temporary access to inaccessible areas [1]. The motivation of the research is to increase its productivity, safety and reduce the manipulation complexity during the operation process. In this paper, a simplified two-link model of AWP's arm is given. The control scheme based on neural network modeling technology is employed to steer the AWP's arm to track the desired trajectories asymptotically, which requires neither the evaluation of inverse dynamical model nor the time-consuming training process. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
