The present paper describes the design of a hybrid actuation control concept, a fuzzy logic proportional-integral-derivative plus a conventional on-off controller, for a new morphing mechanism using smart materials as actuators, which were made from shape memory alloys (SMA). The research work described here was developed for the open loop phase of a morphing wing system, whose primary goal was...

An adaptive fuzzy PID controller with gain scheduling is proposed in this paper. The structure of the proposed gain scheduled fuzzy PID (GS FPID) controller consists of both fuzzy PI-like controller and fuzzy PD-like controller. Both of fuzzy PIlike and PD-like controllers are weighted through adaptive gain scheduling, which are also determined by fuzzy logic inference. A modified genetic algor...

The goal of this study was to design a practical fuzzy controller of the cycle-to-cycle control for multi-joint movements of swing phase of functional electrical stimulation (FES) induced gait. First, we designed three fuzzy controllers (a fixed fuzzy controller, a fuzzy controller with parameter adjustment based on the gradient descent method, and a fuzzy controller with parameter adjustment b...

The design methods of fuzzy logic controls (FLC's) based genetic algorithms (GA's) are used to get an optimized and additional control signal to the high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, through genetic algorithms. The optimal values for the gain factors associated with each of the two fuzzy logic controller inputs and its output is achieved without changing the membership functions or th...

The control problems for delayed systems have attention over the last few decades since the time-delay is frequently a source of instability and encountered in various engineering systems. Extensive research has already been done in the conventional control to find the solutions [1][2]. However, for fuzzy control systems, there are few studies on the stabilization problem for especially systems...

The objective of this work is to provide a simple and effective nonlinear controller. Our strategy involves switching the underlying strategies in order to maintain a robust control. If a disturbance moves the system outside the region of stability or the domain of attraction, it will be guided back onto the desired course by the application of a different control strategy. In the context of sw...

A new fuzzy maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for photovoltaic systems is proposed. Fuzzy controller input parameters dI dP , ) dI dP ( D and variation of duty cycle ( DC D ) are used to generate the optimal MPPT converter duty cycle, such that solar panel maximum power is generated under different operating conditions. A photovoltaic system including a solar panel, a fuzzy MPP tracker and...

A higher order sliding fuzzy type-2 controller scheme for an nth order multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear uncertain perturbed systems is proposed in the paper. To overcome the constraint on the knowledge of the system model, local models related to some operating points were used to synthesize a nominal fuzzy type-2 global model. The controller uses integral sliding mode concept and cont...

This paper develops a generalized adaptive fuzzy control scheme for MIMO nonlinear second order systems. Here, the example robotic manipulators is used to illustrate the control algorithm. The controller for each degree of freedom (DOF) consists of a feedback fuzzy PD systems used to keep the closed-loop stable. The rule base consists of only four rules per each DOF. Furthermore, the fuzzy feed...

In recent years, there has been significant interest in the study of stability analysis and con‐ troller synthesis for Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy systems, which has been used to approximate certain complex nonlinear systems [1]. Hence it is important to study their stability analysis and controller synthesis. A rich body of literature has appeared on the stability analysis and synthesis problems ...
