Six-degrees of freedom (6-DOF) parallel mechanisms driven by switched reluctance motors (SRMs) can realize flexible control with high precision. Efficiency is an important indicator to measure the speed control system of SRMs. There are many characteristic factors affecting efficiency and strong nonlinear relationships between different characteristic parameters, which makes it difficult for analytical models and traditional neural network models to express their spatial correlation. For this reason, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM) efficiency regression prediction model (CNN-BiLSTM-SENet) that integrates the attention mechanism (SENet) is proposed. Firstly, customize a formula for sensitivity analysis to screen characteristic parameters of efficiency. Secondly, build the CNN-BiLSTM-SENet model and use sparrow search algorithm (SSA) for hyperparameter optimization, input data to CNN to extract high-dimensional feature vectors that reflect complex changing relationships between features and efficiency while establishing feature channels. Embed the SENet to adaptively perceive and assign different weights to the feature channels, enhancing the influence of key features. Input the feature vectors outputted by the front-end network to BiLSTM to bidirectionally learn coupling relationships between sequences and complete regression prediction. Finally, propose improved northern goshawk optimization (MNGO) to solve the regression model to obtain the maximum efficiency and corresponding characteristic parameters. The results proved that the SSA-optimized CNN-BiLSTM-SENet model has higher fitting exactness and better prediction effect for efficiency regression prediction, and the MNGO also has stronger search ability and faster convergence.
