Inverse Learning Control of Nonlinear Systems Using Support Vector Machines

An inverse learning control scheme using the support vector machine (SVM) for regression was proposed. The inverse learning approach is originally researched in the neural networks. Compared with neural networks, SVMs overcome the problems of local minimum and curse of dimensionality. Additionally, the good generalization performance of SVMs increases the robustness of control system. The method of designing SVM inverse learning controller was presented. The proposed method is demonstrated on tracking problems and the performance is satisfactory.
