Mechatronic systems are fully-integrated engineering systems that are composed of mechanical, electronic, and computer control sub-systems. These integrated systems use electro-mechanical actuators to cause the required motion. Therefore, the design of appropriate controllers for these actuators are an essential step in mechatronic system design. In this paper, a three-stage methodology for rea...

The aim of this paper is to present the methodology of programming the FPAA (Field Programmable Analog Arrays) in an automatic way. In the field of control the automatic design of the analogue controller structure is specially interesting. In many cases it is possible to fix some structures of the controllers and adapt their parameters to the controlled system. The controller design procedure c...

This paper describes a dual-loop control scheme for fault tolerant flight control system design. The dual-loop controller consists of an outer loop controller–so-called adaptive neural sliding mode control (ANSC) and an inner loop controller designed by using nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) technique. The merits of adaptive neural network and sliding mode control scheme are that 1) the abilit...

This paper presents a direct multivariable adaptive controller using neural network which adapts to the changing parameters of the multivariable nonlinear system with nonminimum phase behavior, mutual interactions and time delays. It base on the theory which a nonlinear multivariable systems to be controlled is divided a linear part and a nonlinear part. The controller parameters of the linear ...

Application of fractional order PID (FOPID) controller to an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is presented and studied in this paper. An FOPID is a PID whose derivative and integral orders are fractional numbers rather than integers. Design stage of such a controller consists of determining five parameters. This paper employs particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to carry out the aforeme...
