Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising clear and efficient new energy sources. An excellent control system is a normal working prerequisite for maintaining a fuel cell system in correct operating conditions. Conventional controllers could not satisfy the high performance to obtain the acceptable responses because of uncertainty, time-change, nonlinear, long-hysteresis and st...

Combining fuzzy logic controller and sliding mode controller to exploit the superior sides of these two controllers is an active area in control theory. The dynamic behaviour of the hybrid system named as fuzzy sliding mode controller depends quite heavily on the sliding surface on which the control structure is switched. In this study, the slope of the sliding surface is continuously updated b...

This paper presents a fuzzy controller for high-speeds four-wheel-steering vehicles based on the state feedback and the sliding-mode control methods. In the proposed fuzzy controller, the consequent part of the fuzzy IF-THEN rules consists of either a sliding-mode controller or a state-feedback controller. Also, it will be proved that, if every fuzzy rule is stable in the sense of Lyapunov for ...

in industrial robotic manipulator, due to the presence of quite nonlinear dynamic and structural and nonstructural uncertainties, a precise model is not easily obtained. as a result, designing a controller with a suitable function based on system model is a challenging issue. sliding mode control is a robust control with numerous applications which can overcome the aforementioned uncertainties....

The motion control problem for the finger of a humanoid robot hand is investigated. First, the index finger of the human hand is dynamically modelled as a kinematic chain of cylindrical links. During construction of the model, special attention is given to determining bone dimensions and masses that are similar to the real human hand. After the kinematic and dynamic analysis of the model, in or...

As to the control of fuzzy sliding mode, this paper proposes a cerebellar learning model for on-line learning of the controller. Fuzzy sliding mode has excellent robustness to the system uncertainty and immunity to the noise of the external noise. As for the cerebellar learning mode, it possesses the advantages of easy and fast correction. The combination of the two leads to the design of a fuz...

This study presents a novel controller of magnetic levitation system by using new neuro-fuzzy structures which called flexible neuro-fuzzy systems. In this type of controller we use sliding mode control with neuro-fuzzy to eliminate the Jacobian of plant. At first, we control magnetic levitation system with Mamdanitype neuro-fuzzy systems and logical-type neuro-fuzzy systems separately and then...

This work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. Considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. By linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. The linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. The uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...
