Abstract

This paper presents the application of fuzzy control to three links of a Rhino robot and compares its performance to traditional PD control. The dynamics of motion of robot links are governed by nonlinear differential equations. The fuzzy controller, being an adaptive technique, gives better performance than the traditional linear PD controller over a typical operational range. The fuzzy controller reaches the desired position with no overshoot, which is unlikely with the PD controller.
