In this paper, we propose an adaptive mechanism based on humoral immune algorithm and neural network identifier technique. It is also applied for an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) system. When the immune algorithm is applied to the PID controller, there exists the case that the plant is damaged due to the abrupt change of PID parameters since the parameters are almost adjusted randomly. To slove this problem, we use the neural network identifier technique for modeling the plant humoral immune algorithm (HIA) which performs the parameter tuning of the considered model, respectively. Finally, the experimental results for control of steering and speed of AGV system illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme. Also, these results for the proposed method show that it has better performance than other conventional controller design method such as PID controller.

PID 제어는 50년의 역사를 갖기 때문에 현장의 사용자는 이 제어방식에 익숙해져 있으며, 제어장치의 구성이 간단하며 제어기의 최적동조가 가능하므로 많은 분야에서 사용되고 있다[1]. 그러나 PID 제어기에 의해서 얻은 결과에 대하여 만족하기 위해서는 많은 시행착오를 겪어야 한다. 또한 만족하는 결과를 얻었다고 할지라도 외란, 플랜트의 동특성이 바뀌는 경우 시스템을 추종하지 못하기 때문에 파라미터를 재조정하여야 한다. 유전 알고리즘은 자연세계의 진화 현상에 기초한 계산모델로서 John Holland에 의해서 1975년에 개발된 전역적인 최적화 알고리즘이며[1][2], 비선형 고차원, 불연속, 다중모드, 노이즈 함수 등에 대하여 강건함을 보여주고, 복잡한 탐색 공간에서 최적 값을 스스로 발견하는 학습 능력을 갖는다. 이 방법은 재생산, 교배, 돌연변이를 통하여 최적해를 찾은 방법으로 1989년에 D. E. Goldgerg에 의해서 체계적으로 정리된 후 여러 분야에서 응용되고 있다[3][4]. 그러나 유전 알고리즘은 목적함수만을 이용하여 해집단을 탐색하기 때문에 숙련운전자가 원하는 제어 특성 명세인 상승시간, 정착시간, 초과량(oveshoot) 둥을 구체적으로 명시하여 제어에 반영할 수 없다. 또한, 유전 알고리즘은 입력 값이 크게 바뀔 경우 다른 시스템으로 인식하여 새로운 탐색을 수행하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 첫째, 기준모델을 도입하여 플랜트의 성능을 기준모델로 표현하여 플랜트가 요구하는 성능지표를 정량적으로 규정하는 것이 가능하였다. 또한, 이것은 미지 플랜트 동특성을 식별하기 위한 신호로 사용되어, 플랜트의 정보를 얻는데 이용되었다. 즉, 기준모델과 플랜트 출력사이의 추종 오차 정보가 적응기구인 PID 유전제어기의 입력으로 사용되며, 구형파 입력의 경우에도 기준모델과 플랜트의 출력차는 크게 변하지 않는다. 따라서, 유전 알고리즘의 목적함수에 기준 모델을 제안 적용하여 안정적이고, 세밀한 제어를 수행하였다. 둘째, PID의 간단하면서 확실한 제어가 가능하다는 점과 전역적인 최적값을 찾을 수 있는 유전 알고리즘을 적용하여 고속제어를 요하는 직류 서보 모터(DC Servo Motor) 운전 시 실시간 파라미터 동조에 적용하였다.

This Paper is about how to deside the best parameter of PID controller, using Genetic Algorithms and Neural Networks. Control by Genetic Algorithms, which is off-line pass, has weakness for disturbance. So we want to improve like followings by adding Neural Network to controller and putting it on line. First we find PID parameter by Genetic Algorithms in forward pass of Neural Network and set the best output condition according to the increasing number of generation. Second, we explain the adaptability for disturbance with simulation by correcting parameter by backpropagation learning rule by using the learning ability of Neural Network.

The MFC(Mass Flow Controller) is an equipment that measures and controls mass flow rates of fluid. Most of the HFC system is still using the PID algorithm. The PID algorithm shows superior performance on the MFC system. But the PID algorithm in the MFC system has a few problems as followed. The characteristic of the MFC system is changed according to the operating environment. And, when the piezo valve that uses the control valve is assembled in the MFC system, a coupling error is generated. Therefore, it is very difficult to find out the exact parameters of MFC system. In this paper, we propose adaptive PID algorithm in order to compensate these problems of a traditional PID algorithm. The adaptive PID algorithm estimates the parameters of MFC system using LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm and calculates the coefficients of PID controller. Besides, adaptive PID algorithm shows better transient response because adaptive PID algorithm includes a feedforward. And we implement MFC system using proposed adaptive PID algorithm with self-tuning and Ziegler and Nickels's method. Finally, comparative analysis of the proposed adaptive PID and the traditional PID is shown.

A position control algorithm of a flexible manipulator is studied. The proposed algorithm is based on an ACFAC(Automatic Constructed Fuzzy Adaptive Controller) system based on the neural network learning algorithms. The proposed system learns membership functions for input variables using unsupervised competitive learning algorithm and output information using supervised outstar learning algorithm. ACFAC does not need a dynamic modeling of the flexible manipulator. An ACFAC is designed that the end point of the flexible manipulator tracks the desired trajectory. The control input to the process is determined by error, velocity and variation of error. Simulation and experiment results show a robustness of ACFAC compared with the PID control and neural network algorithms.

In this paper, we analyzed the mr detection and the stability of the object tracking system by an adaptive stereo object hacking using region-based MAD(Mean Absolute Difference) algorithm and the modified PID(Proportional Integral Derivative)-based pan/tilt controller. That is, in the proposed system, the location coordinates of the target object in the right and left images are extracted from the sequential stereo input image by applying a region-based MAD algorithm and the configuration parameter of the stereo camera, and then these values could effectively control to pan/tilt of the stereo camera under the noisy circumstances through the modified PID controller. Accordingly, an adaptive control effect of a moving object can be analyzed through the advanced system with the proposed 3D robot vision, in which the possibility of real-time implementation of the robot vision system is also confirmed.

In industrial actual control system, PID controller has been used with its high delicate control system in position control system. PID controller has simple structure and superior ability in several characteristics. When the response of system is changed by delay time, variable load , disturbances and external environment, control gain of PID controller must be readjusted on the system dynamic characteristics. Therefore, a control ability of PID controller is degraded when th control gain is inappropriately determined. When the response characteristic of system is changed under a condition, control gain of PID controller must be changed adaptively to be a waited response of system. In this paper an adaptive-tuning type PID controller is constructed by self-recurrent Neural Network(SRNN). applying back-propagation(BP) algorithm. Form the result of computer simulation in the proposed controller, its usefulness is verified.

Several complex processes that are employed in industries, such as shipping, power plants, and the petrochemical industry, involve time-varying behavior as well as strong nonlinear behavior during operation. The fixed-parameter proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers have difficulty in dealing with control problems that occur in such processes. In this paper, we propose a method of designing a nonlinear PID controller for industrial processes that exhibit a large number of nonlinearities and time-varying behavior. The gains of the nonlinear PID controller are characterized by a simple nonlinear function of the error and/or error rate depending on the process set-point and output. We tune the user-defined parameters using a genetic algorithm by minimizing the integral of time absolute error (ITAE) index. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed method by performing a comparison of the proposed method and two other nonlinear and adaptive methods that are employed for reference tracking, disturbance-rejection performances, and robustness to parameter changes on a continuously stirred tank reactor.

We propose a new method to deal with the optimal gain self-tuning of the PID controller which is used to industrial process control in various fields. First of all, in this method, first order delay system which was modeled from the unit step response of the system is Pade-approximated, then initial values are determined by the Ziegler-Nickels method. Finally, we can find the parameters of Pm controller so as to maximize the fuzzy inferencl function which includes the maximum overshoot, damping ratio, rising time and settling time. The proposed method also shows good adaptability for variations in characteristics and dead time of the system.
