An adaptive fuzzy approach for robot manipulator tracking

In this paper, temperature monitoring of sterilizing equipment system was established with the help of fuzzy and self tuning Adaptive fuzzy logic controller designed in Lab VIEW software. It combines the advantages of both fuzzy logic and self tuning Adaptive fuzzy logic controller. The implementation attempts to rectify the errors between the measured value and the set point which helps to achieve efficient temperature control. The Adaptive fuzzy controller uses defined rules to control the system based on the current values of input variables and temperature errors. The simulation results presented in order to evaluate the proposed method. The result shows that self tuning Adaptive fuzzy logic controller was tolerant to disturbance and the temperature control is most accurate.

Modern spacecraft are often equipped with large-scale, complex, and lightweight solar arrays whose deployment involves a highly dynamic movement. This paper proposed a novel adaptive proportional-derivative typed fuzzy logic control scheme for the attitude stabilization of a flexible spacecraft during the deployment of a composite laminated solar array. First, a constrained rigid-flexible coupling spacecraft model consisting of a rigid main body and a flexible solar array was proposed. The solar array, which is composed of composite laminated shells, was described by the absolute nodal coordinate formulation. Then, the detailed derivation of the adaptive fuzzy PD controller for attitude stabilization of the spacecraft was discussed. In addition, the spacecraft dynamic model which integrated the adaptive fuzzy PD controller was derived as a set of differential-algebraic equations. Several simulations were developed to investigate the solar array deployment dynamics and to verify the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive fuzzy PD controller. The results suggested that the proposed dynamic model is able to exactly describe the deployment dynamics of the composite laminated solar array. The solar array deployment causes obvious translational and rotational motions of the spacecraft. The proposed adaptive fuzzy PD control scheme has better performance in terms of the control precision and time response in stabilizing spacecraft during the deployment of the composite laminated solar array, comparing with that of the conventional PD controller.

An adaptive fuzzy controller has been designed to develop a high-performance fault-tolerant SRM drive. The fuzzy controller continuously adapts its properties to regulate the machine torque as desired by the drive system even under fault conditions. The adaptation of the fuzzy membership functions results in extended conduction period and increased peak current of the healthy phases to deliver the commanded torque, as much as possible. The adaptive fuzzy controller provides smooth torque output with minimum ripple, even under fault conditions, yielding a high-performance SRM drive with fault-tolerant capability.

The present paper describes the development of a new adaptive fuzzy logic controller (AFLC), which can directly employ an adaptive fuzzy/neuro/neuro-fuzzy function approximator to develop a desired controller, based on an ideal controller input-outpu

Abstract- This paper introduces a linear structure of wind turbine, operator and the pitch angle controller. Then, a new method of adaptive fuzzy on the variable speed wind turbines was provided and it was compared with PID and Fuzzy Logic Control ler and the simulation results were analyzed. So when the results of each simulation using PID and Fuzzy controllers and adaptive fuzzy PID controllers provided, the observed advantages and disadvantages of the rotor speed and wind turbine power can be introduced. It can be seen that in PID method the high overshoot is discussed as a disadvantage while it is overcome by using fuzzy controller and overshoot will decrease. The time of reaching to a sustained speed increases slightly and in adaptive fuzzy PID controller, the less overshoot has provided a good and effective performance for system response. The use of adaptive fuzzy PID controller causes the system does not have any steady-state error and at all moments of time, the response rate is better than PID and fuzzy controller. The importance of the amount of overshoot and rate fluctuations is that by reducing these parameters in addition to reducing the cost of preventive care, maintenance and depreciation, the fluctuations in electricity generated by induction generator also greatly reduced.

This paper addresses adaptive fuzzy logic controller for load frequency control of a multi-source two area power system with different power generation sources viz hydro gas & thermal power plant. Expert knowledge is required for conventional fuzzy logic control in developing parameters. Whereas in this method rules are tuned online by adaptation algorithm according to operating condition. The robustness of adaptive fuzzy logic controller has been shown by comparing with conventional fuzzy logic controller and integral controller. The comparison is done based on various performance indices like settling times and peak overshoots for 1 percent step load perturbation.

This paper presents a theoretical study on a model-reference adaptive fuzzy logic controller for vector-controlled permanent magnet AC servomotor drives. In the proposed system, fuzzy logic is used to implement the direct controller as well as the adaptation mechanism. The operation of the direct fuzzy controller and the fuzzy logic based adaptation mechanism is studied. The control performance of the adaptive fuzzy controller is evaluated by simulation for various operating conditions. The results are compared with that provided by a nonadaptive fuzzy controller. The implementation of proposed adaptive fuzzy controller is also discussed.

First, the configuration of the manipulator is described, and then its dynamics is analyzed. An adaptive fuzzy logic control (AFLC) strategy and an independent modal space adaptive control (IMSAC) scheme are proposed for the active strut motion control and for the manipulator vibration control, respectively. In the AFLC, an adaptive input scaling concept is introduced to adaptively adjust the input of a traditional fuzzy logic controller. As a result, an inverse dead zone is gained to compensate the existing strut dead zone and overcome the dead zone effects. In the IMSAC, a novel adaptive feedback control scheme is developed using the adaptive filtered-x algorithm that is commonly used for adaptive feedforward control. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that the AFLC can provide very accurate positioning control with a relative steady-state positioning error of 0.06%, and that the IMSAC raises the damping ratios of the first two modes of the flexible manipulator 10 times and substantially suppresses the vibration induced by the manipulator motion. </para>

This paper demonstrates tracking control of a class of feedback linearizable unknown nonlinear dynamical systems, such as a robotic systems, using a discrete-time fuzzy logic controller (FLC). Designing a discrete-time FLC is significant because almost all FLC's are implemented on digital computers. A repeatable design algorithm and a stability proof are examined for an adaptive fuzzy logic controller that uses fuzzy basis functions based on the fuzzy system, unlike most standard adaptive control approaches which use basis vectors depending on the unknown plant. An /spl epsiv/-modification sort of approach to adapt the fuzzy system parameters is examined. Using this adaptive fuzzy logic controller, uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop signals is presented and that the controller achieves tracking. In fact, the fuzzy system designed is a model-free universal fuzzy controller that works for any system in the given class of systems.

The fuzzy controller is a popular choice for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control systems because of its advantages, such as straightforward design, and no reliance on the precise mathematical model of the motor. But the existing pure PI-like fuzzy control strategy still has some disadvantages, such as poor adaptive ability and large overshooting. This work redevelops the structure and rules of the adaptive fuzzy controller, and proposes and proves an improved adaptive PI-like fuzzy control algorithm for the PMSM system. Firstly, a parallel dual fuzzy controller structure is constructed to facilitate the adaptive adjustment of the “PI-like fuzzy controller”. Secondly, the error acceleration parameter rv(k), which contains the PMSM speed information, is set and normalized to accurately identify the dynamic response stages of the PMSM system. Lastly, an adaptive fuzzy rule table is designed based on the dynamic response waveform of the PMSM system, and the control characterization is analyzed. The simulation and experimental results of the PMSM system show that the improved adaptive PI-like fuzzy controller has a broad dynamic adjustment range, the PMSM can rapidly and smoothly reach the given speed during the startup stage with small overshooting, the speed drop is low when the load is abruptly added, the PMSM system can quickly return to the steady state with a strong adaptive ability, and its dynamic performance indicators surpass those of the PID controller and traditional PI-like fuzzy controller.

Artificial intelligence methods such as fuzzy logic and particle swarm optimization (PSO) have been applied to maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for solar panels. The P-V curve of a solar panel exhibits multiple peaks under partial shading condition (PSC) when all modules of a solar panel do not receive the same solar irradiation. Although conventional PSO has been shown to perform well under uniform insolation, it is often unable to find the global maximum power point under PSC. Fuzzy adaptive PSO controllers have been proposed for MPPT. However, the controller became computation-intensive in order to adjust the PSO parameters for each particle. In this paper, fuzzy adaptive PSO-based and conventional PSO-based MPPT are compared and evaluated in the aspect of design and performance. A simple fuzzy adaptive PSO controller for MPPT was designed to reach the global optimal point under PSC and uniform irradiation. The controller combines the advantages of both PSO and fuzzy control. The fuzzy controller dynamically adjusts the PSO parameter to improve the convergence speed and global search capability. Since tuning of the PSO parameter is designed to be common for all particles, it reduced the computation complexity. The fuzzy controller’s rule base is designed to obtain a fast transient response and stable steady state response. Design of the fuzzy adaptive PSO-based MPPT is verified with simulation results using a boost converter. The results are evaluated in comparison to the results using a conventional PSO controller under PSC. Simulation shows the fuzzy adaptive PSO-based MPPT is able to improve the global search process and increase the convergency speed. The comparison indicates the settling time using the fuzzy adaptive PSO-based MPPT is 14% faster under PSC on average and 30% faster under uniform irradiation than the settling time using the conventional PSO. Both the fuzzy adaptive and conventional PSO controllers have similar output power tracking accuracy.

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control approach is investigated for a class of stochastic nonlinear strict-feedback systems without the requirement of states measurement. The stochastic nonlinear system addressed in this paper is assumed to possess unstructured uncertainties (unknown nonlinear functions) and, in the presence of unmodeled dynamics, dynamics disturbances. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unstructured uncertainties, and a fuzzy state observer is designed to estimate the unmeasured states. By combining the backstepping design technique with the stochastic small-gain approach, a new adaptive fuzzy output feedback control approach is developed. It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that the closed-loop system is input-state-practically stability (ISpS) in probability, and the observer errors and the output of the system converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by appropriate choice of the design parameters. Simulation results are included to indicate that the proposed adaptive fuzzy control approach has a satisfactory control performance. In addition, the simulation comparisons with the previous methods show that the proposed adaptive fuzzy control approach has robustness to the dynamical uncertainties.

Adaptive type-2 fuzzy logic control of a bioreactor

This paper proposes a bioinspired reference model based fuzzy adaptive tracking control for active suspension systems. A general bioinspired nonlinear structure, which can present ideal nonlinear quasi-zero stiffness for vibration isolation, is adopted as tracking reference model. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate unknown nonlinear terms in nonlinear suspension systems. Particularly, a nonlinear damping is designed to improve damping characteristics of the bioinspired reference model. With beneficial nonlinear stiffness and improved nonlinear damping of the bioinspired reference model, the proposed fuzzy adaptive controller can effectively suppress vibration of suspension systems with less actuator force and much improved ride comfort, thus energy saving performance can be achieved. Finally, a quarter-vehicle active suspension system with considering payload uncertainties, general disturbance, and actuator saturation is provided for evaluating the validity and superiority of the bioinspired nonlinear dynamics based fuzzy adaptive control approach proposed in this paper.
