A DRL-Based Edge Intelligent Servo Control with Semi-closed-Loop Feedbacks in Industrial IoT
摘要
In industrial IoT, the design of control algorithms is pivotal to industrial servo systems. Unlike existing work, we study the industrial servo system control through edge computing with semi-closed-loop feedbacks, high-order nonlinear disturbances and lightweight implementation requirements. Particularly, in this paper, we take permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driven servo system as a typical industrial IoT device, propose a novel deep reinforcement learning based semi-closed-loop control algorithm, i.e., DRL-SCLC, and successfully deploy it on an edge server to provide real-time edge intelligent decision making. The control problem is formulated as a Markov decision process and then solved by the designed DRL-based algorithm, for minimizing the absolute error between reference signal and corresponding system response. To guarantee robustness, we further integrate “three-loop control structure” in traditions to DRL-SCLC for restricting outputs within a desired limit. Experiments on a real-world aerospace servo testbed show that the proposed solution is not only effective but also superior over counterparts.
