abstract: this paper presents dynamic modelling and control of a linear prismatic series of elastic actuator. the capability of generating large torques is why this actuator is increasingly used in human-assistive robotic systems. due to having human in the loop, the actuator requires precise control. a fractional pid controller known for its improved performance is used for the control, due to...

The paper presents development of a new tuning method for fractional order PID controller for the systems which have integer order transfer functions. All the parameters of the controller, namely proportional gain kp, integral gain ki, derivative gain kd, fractional order of integrator λ and fractional order of differentiator μ can be obtained by using this method. It is clearly shown that the ...

Hard-disk drives (HDD‘s) are widely used data storage medium for computers and many other data processing devices. The servo mechanism in HDD plays an important role in high performance requirements of HDD‘s. Gain variations present in hard ware components of HDD‘s affects the consistent track following performances. So the servo system needs to improve in track following and robustness perform...

Fuzzy logic based PID controllers have been studied in this paper, considering several combinations of hybrid controllers by grouping the proportional, integral and derivative actions with fuzzy inferencing in different forms. Fractional order (FO) rate of error signal and FO integral of control signal have been used in the design of a family of decomposed hybrid FO fuzzy PID controllers. The i...

Design of fractional order PID (FOPID) controller for DC motor is proposed in this paper. A FOPID (PID) is a PID controller whose derivative and integral orders are fractional numbers rather than integers. Design stage of such controller consists of determining six parameters – proportional constant (Kp), integral constant (Ki), derivative constant (Kd), filter time constant (τd), integral orde...
