Title
Identification of a golf swing robot using soft computing approach
Abstract
Golf swing robots have been recently developed in an attempt to simulate the ultra high-speed swing motions of golfers. Accurate identification of a golf swing robot is an important and challenging research topic, which has been regarded as a fundamental basis in the motion analysis and control of the robots. But there have been few studies conducted on the golf swing robot identification, and comparative analyses using different kinds of soft computing methodologies have not been found in the literature. This paper investigates the identification of a golf swing robot based on four kinds of soft computing methods, including feedforward neural networks (FFNN), dynamic recurrent neural networks (DRNN), fuzzy neural networks (FNN) and dynamic recurrent fuzzy neural networks (DRFNN). The performance comparison is evaluated based on three sets of swing trajectory data with different boundary conditions. The sensitivity of the results to the changes in system structure and learning rate is also investigated. The results suggest that both FNN and DRFNN can be used as a soft computing method to identify a golf robot more accurately than FFNN and DRNN, which can be used in the motion control of the robot.
