a novel technique is investigated for pid controller adaptation in order to control thetemperature of a liquid-phase reactor tank by using a heat exchanger system. as for nonlinearity,time delay problems and model uncertainties introduced by the heat exchanger, an interval type-2fuzzy system (it2fs) is implemented to enhance and improve the total control performance.moreover, the fuzzy inferenc...

energy is a critical factor to obtain a sustainable development for countries and governments. selection of the most appropriate energy alternative is a completely critical and a complex decision making problem. in this paper, an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) methodology based on type-2 fuzzy sets is proposed for selection among energy alternatives. then a roadmap has been cr...

in this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. the majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. this requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...
