Abstract

In this paper, merits of both fuzzy and PID controllers are combined. The combined controller is designed such that the tuning of the PID controller is achieved by the basic fuzzy controller via its rule base. The proposed scheme avoids the tuning of PID parameters which is always a time consuming task, difficult to carry out and often poorly done. Computer simulations are made to demonstrate the satisfactory tracking performance of the combined fuzzy-PID controller.
