1 Diagonal Recurrent Neural Networks for a Walking Robot

Whilst the necessity of finding an intelligent-based controlling method for a two-leg walking robot increases, the balance of the under-actuated leg consisting of two links is emphasized in this study. This is not only a nonlinear structure, but also a single-input double-output system. However, the problem becomes concrete through the proposed diagonal recurrent neural networks (DRNN) method. In this paper, two kinds of DRNN are introduced into the control system. The diagonal recurrent neuroidentifier (DRNI) is selected as an identifier, and the diagonal recurrent neurocontroller (DRNC) is determined as a controller. Additionally, a generalized dynamic backpropagation algorithm (DBP) is also applied to train both DRNC and DRNI. With the simulated results, it is shown that the under-actuated leg is balanced and stabilized by DRNN. This study definitely contributes the intelligent-based as well as the real-time controlled method for a two-leg walking robot with profound insigh
