In general, due to the interactions among subsystems, it is difficult to design an decentralized controller for nonlinear interconnected systems. In this study, the model of nonlinear interconnected systems is studied via decentralized fuzzy control method with time delay and polytopic uncertainty. First, the nonlinear interconnected system is represented by an equivalent Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy model. And the represented model can be rewritten as Parameterized Linear Matrix Inequalities(PLMIs), that is, LMIs whose coefficients are functions of a parameter confined to a compact set. We show that the resulting fuzzy controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed-loop system in spite of controller gain variations within a resulted polytopic region by example and simulations.

In this paper, the application of Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) controller for fixed pitch rotary wing system was studied. For nonlinear modeling, T-S fuzzy model was utilized to advance system control including the tilt type UAV. PDC controller was designed through the Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI). Experiments for determining the applicability and feasibility of PDC were performed using the 1 axis attitude control equipment and simulation. To verify the performance and characteristics of the controller, Mathworks Co. Simulink was used. After then, the PDC controller performance was verified and the results with developed controller using a 1 axis attitude control equipment were compared. Verification of the feasibility of PDC controller for the fixed pitch rotary wing system and identification of the overall performance and improvement analysis was conducted based on the experimental results.

This paper presents a method for designing robust fuzzy $H^{\infty}$ controllers which stabilize nonlinear systems with parameter uncertainty adn guarantee an induced $L_{2}$ norm bound constraint on disturbance attenuation for all admissible uncertainties. Takagi and Sugeno's fuzzy models with uncertainty are used as the model for the uncertain nonlinear systems. Fuzzy control systems utilize the concept of so-called parallel distributed compensation(PDC). Using a single quadratic Lyapunov function, the stability condition satisfying decay rate and disturbance attenuation condition for Takagi and Sugeno's fuzzy model with parameter uncertainty are discussed. A sufficient condition for the existence of robust fuzzy $H^{\infty}$ controllers is then presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). Finally, design examples of robust fuzzy $H^{\infty}$ controllers for uncertain nonlinear systems are presented.

This paper presents a delay dependent fuzzy $H_{\infty}$ controller design method for delayed fuzzy dynamic systems. Using delay-dependent Lyapunov function, the global exponential stability and $H_{\infty}$ performance problem arc discussed. A sufficient conditions for the existence of fuzzy controller is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). A simulation example is given to illustrate the design procedures and performances of the proposed methods.

Variable Message Signs have been used for providing information on the current traffic conditions. However, it is considered more important to achieve optimal traffic allocation among the alternative routes by strategic VMS information provision. Fuzzy control is very effective and efficient to deal with such systems that are too complex and uncertain to build mathematical models. In this paper, a fuzzy feedback controller for VMS is proposed, whose goal is to achieve the travel time equilibrium between the two alternative routes. The performance of the suggested controller is implemented and examined using MATLAB/Simulink. More robust controller applicable to a real highway network is suggested for the further research.

A fuzzy control algorithm of bell-type membership functions and 9 rules is constructed for narrow range level control of steam generators in nuclear power plants. It is implemented at a field digital distributed controller, a Westinghouse-made controller called Westinghouse Distributed Processing Family(WDPF). Performance for level control of the developed fuzzy controller is compared with that of conventional controller, both at the field controller. For these comparisons, both the fuzzy control algorithm and the conventional PI control algorithm were carefully tuned. Also the sampling time for optimal performance was investigated. The results show that the fuzzy control algorithm is not only better in performance than the conventional algorithm but also much easier to be tuned by operators in the field.

In this paper, we present a collaborative method for material delivery using a distributed vehicle agents system. Generally used AGV(Autonomous Guided Vehicle) systems in FA require extraordinary facilities like guidepaths and landmarks and have numerous limitations for application in different environments. Moreover in the case of controlling multi vehicles, the necessity for developing corporation abilities like loading and unloading materials between vehicles including different types is increasing nowadays for automation of material flow. Thus to compensate and improve the functions of AGV, it is important to endow vehicles with the intelligence to recognize environments and goods and to determine the goal point to approach. In this study we propose an interaction method between hetero-type vehicles and adaptive fuzzy logic controllers for sensor-based path planning methods and material identifying methods which recognizes color. For the purpose of carrying materials to the goal, simple color sensor is used instead vision system to search for material and recognize its color in order to determine the goal point to transfer it to. The proposed method reaveals a great deal of improvement on its performance.

본 논문에서느 윈도우에 기반을 둔 지능적인 폴리싱 메커니즘을 제안하다. 이전의 메커니즘들이 소스 파라메터만을 인수로 삼은 반면에, 제안 알고리즘은 링크의 현재 상태를 고려할 수 있도록 망으로부터 얻어진 추가 파라메터를 이용한다. ATM 교환기 노드에서 링크이 점유율을 나타내는 버퍼점유율을 추가 파라메터로 제안하였다. 또한, 소스 트래픽의 효과적인 제어를 위해서 퍼지 논리에 따라 다음 윈도우의 셀 허용치를 결정한다. 제안 알고리즘으 모의실험 결과는 본 알고리즘이 기존 퍼지 알고리즘과 같이 기본 요구사항을 잘 수행함을 보여준다. 그리고, 제안한 버퍼정유율을 포함시킴으로서 다중화기의 셀량에 따른 분산치가 다른 알고리즘에 비해 훨씬 안정되어 감을 보이고 있다. 이러한 점에서, 제안 알고리즘이 귀한 정보인 버퍼점유율을 이용해 폭주를 피하는 등의 더 좋은 망 상태를 추가적인 장점으로 확인할 수 있다.

This paper presents a joint controller for a humanoid robot based on genetic algorithm. h humanoid robot has basically instability during walking because it isn't fixed on the ground. Moreover nonlinearities of the joints increase its instability. If one of them isn't satisfied, the robot may fall down at the ground during walking. To attack one of those problems, joint controller is proposed. It can perform tracking control preciously and reduce the effect of nonlinearities by gear, limitation of the input voltage, coulomb friction and so on. This controller is based on fuzzy-sliding mode controller (FSMC) and compensator and control gains are searched by a proposed genetic algorithm. It can reduce the effect by nonlinearities. Also, to improve the tracking performance, the proposed controller has motion controller. From the given controller, a humanoid robot can moved more preciously. Here, all the processes are investigated through simulations and it is verified experimentally in a real joint system for a humanoid robot.
