Control of Left Ventricular Assist Device using Artificial Neural Network

In this paper, we presents neural network identification and control of highly complicated nonlinear Left Ventricular Assist Device(LVAD) system with a pneumatically driven mock circulation system. Generally the LVAD system need to compensate nonlinearities. Hence, it is necessary to apply high performance control techniques. Fortunately, the neural network can be applied to control of a nonlinear dynamic system by learning capability. In this study, we identify the LVAD system with Neural Network Identification. Once the NNI has learned the dynamic model of LVAD system, the other network, called Neural Network Controller(NNC), is designed for control of a LVAD system. The ability and effectiveness of identifying and controlling a LVAD system using the proposed algorithm will be demonstrated by computer simulation.
