Three applications of artificial neural networks for control

Three systems which apply artificial neural network (ANNs) to the modeling and/or control of physical systems are discussed. Two of these systems are in wireless communication, and the third is in manufacturing. The examples are all actual hardware systems. The two wireless communication systems are small testbeds that are devised in a real-time learning laboratory. The manufacturing plant is an actual site. ANNs are able to learn models of each of these systems. These controllers are described, and parallels between the applications are drawn.<>
