Shape Memory Alloy(SMA) actuators, which have the ability to return to a predetermined shape when heated, have many potential applications such as aeronautics, surgical tools, robotics and so on. Although the conventional PID controller can be used with slow response systems, there has been limited success in precise motion control of SMA actuators, since the systems are disturbed by unknown factors beside their inherent nonlinear hysteresis and changes in the surrounding environment of the systems. This paper presents a new development of a SMA position control system by using a self-tuning fuzzy PID controller. This control algorithm is used by tuning the parameters of the PID controller thereby integrating fuzzy inference and producing a fuzzy adaptive PID controller, which can then be used to improve the control performance of nonlinear systems. The experimental results of position control of SMA actuators using conventional and self-tuning fuzzy PID controllers are both included in this paper.

In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive controller is proposed for the process with large delay time and unmodelled dynamics. The fuzzy adaptive controller consists of self tuning controller and fuzzy tuning part. The self tuning controller is designed with the continuous time GMV (generalized minimum variance) using emulator and weighted least square method. It is realized by the hybrid method. The controller has robust characteristics by adapting the inference rule in design parameters. The inference processing is tuned according to the operating point of the process having the nonlinear characteristics considering the practical application. We review the characteristics of the fuzzy adaptive controller through the simulation. The controller is applied to practical electric furnace. As a result, the fuzzy adaptive controller shows the better characteristics than the simple numeric self tuning controller and the PI controller.

This paper presents a new approach to the design of self-tuning adaptive control system that is robust to the changing dynamic configuration as well as to the load variation factors using Digital signal processors for robot manipulators. TMS320C50 is used in implementing real-time adaptive control algorithms to provide advanced performance for robot manipulator, In this paper, an adaptive control scheme is proposed in order to design the pole-placement self-tuning controller which can reject the offset due to any load disturbance without a detailed description of robot dynamics. Parameters of discrete-time difference model are estimated by the recursive least-square identification algorithm, and controller parameters we determined by the pole-placement method. Performance of self-tuning adaptive controller is illusrated by the simulation and experiment for a SCARA robot.

This paper presents a direct nonlinear multivariable self-tuning PID controller using neural network which adapts to the changing parameters of the nonlinear multivariable system with noises and time delays. The nonlinear multivariable system is divided linear part and nonlinear part. The linear controller are used the self-tuning PID controller that can combine the simple structure of a PID controllers with the characteristics of a self-tuning controller, which can adapt to changes in the environment. The linear controller parameters are obtained by the recursive least square. And the nonlinear controller parameters are achieved the through the Back-propagation neural network. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the computer simulation results are presented to adapt the nonlinear multivariable system with noises and time delays and with changed system parameter after a constant time. The proposed PID type nonlinear multivariable self-tuning method using neural network is effective compared with the conventional direct multivariable adaptive controller using neural network.

In this paper, we implemented the variable spped controller of an induction motor using the self-tuning fuzzy control algorithms, which recently is invoking the remarkable interest. Also we preposed a self-tuning technique of scale factors which could easily design the fuzzy speed controller. Comparing with conventional PI speed controller, the performances of proposed fuzzy controller such as dynamic responses and its the robustness against load disturbance were substantially improved.

The PID controllers which is widely used in the process industry are poorly damped when the dynamic process contains significant dead time or when there are random disturbances acting on the plant. GPC is known to be more superior than conventional self-tuning algorithm in overcoming above problem and prior choice of model order. In this paper, we propose the method which determine the parameter of PID controller from minimization of GPC criterion. The controller has emplicit scheme which is comprised of parameter estimation and PID control design. Simulation results show the performance of the proposed self-tuning PID controller.

Active noise control uses the intentional superposition of acoustic waves to create a destructive interference pattern such that a reduction of the unwanted sound occurs. In active noise control system the choice of a control structure and design of the controller are the main issues of concern. In real acoustic fields there are a vast number of noise sources with time-varying nature and the characteristics of transducers and the geometric set-up of control system are subject to change. Accordingly the control system should be designed to adapt such circumstances so that required level of performance is maintained. In this paper, the adaptive control algorithm for self-tuning adaptive controller is presented for the application in active noise control system. Self-tuning is a direct integration of identification and controller design algorithm in such a manner that the two processes proceed sequentially. The least mean square algorithm was used for the identification schemes and adaptive weighted minimum variance control algorithm was applied for self-tuning controller. Computer simulation results for self-tuning feedback controller are presented. And simulation results was shown to be useful for the situation in which the periodic noise sources act on the acoustic field.

One of the advantages of the well-known PID controller is that it is a sufficiently flexible controller for many applications. But, when the plant parameters and disturbances are unknown or change with time, it is desirable to make automatic tuning of PID controller in order to achieve an acceptable level of performance of the control system. This paper presents a reformulation of the self-tuning pole-zero placement controller subject to some conditions and restrictions. It has the structure of a digital PID controller and is based on Vogel and Edgar's pole-zero placement design method. Various properties of this self-tuning PID controller are described and illustrated by simulation examples.

A proposed hybrid self-tuning control scheme for single rod hydraulic cylinder which has varying loads is presented here. An adaptive controller is developed for the system that use feedforward and P feedback control for simultaneous parameter identification and tracking control. Through experimental results, the performance comparison of the hybrid self-tuning controller with a constant gain P contro- ller clearly shows its superior ability in handling load changes in quiescent states.
