One of the methods to simplify the design process for a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is to reduce the number of variables representing the rule antecedent. This in turn decreases the number of control rules, membership functions, and scaling factors. For this purpose, we designed a single-input FLC that uses a sole fuzzy input variable. However, it is still deficient in the capability of adapting some varying operating conditions although it provides a simple method for the design of FLC's. We here design two simple-structured adaptive fuzzy logic controllers (SAFLC's) using the concept of the single-input FLC. Linguistic fuzzy control rules are directly incorporated into the controller by a fuzzy basis function. Thus some parameters of the membership functions characterizing the linguistic terms of the fuzzy control rules can be adjusted by an adaptive law. In our controllers, center values of fuzzy sets are directly adjusted by an adaptive law. Two SAFLC's are designed. One of them uses a Hurwitz error dynamics and the other a switching function of the sliding mode control (SMC). We also prove that 1） their closed-loop systems are globally stable in the sense that all signals involved are bounded and 2） their tracking errors converge to zero asymptotically. We perform computer simulations using a nonlinear plant.

Generally, the underwater flight vehicle (UFV) depth control system operates with the following problems: it is a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system because the UFV contains both pitch and depth angle variables as well as multiple control planes, it requires robustness because of the possibility that it may encounter uncertainties such as parameter variations and disturbances, it requires a continuous control input because the system that has reduced power consumption and acoustic noise is more practical, and further, it has the speed dependency of controller parameters because the control forces of control planes depend on the operating speed. To solve these problems, an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC), which is based on the decomposition method using expert knowledge in the UFV depth control and utilizes a fuzzy basis function expansion (FBFE) and a proportional integral augmented sliding signal, is proposed. To verify the performance of the AFSMC, UFV depth control is performed. Simulation results show that the AFSMC solves all problems experienced in the UFV depth control system online.

In this paper, a robust fuzzy precompensated PID controller using immune algorithm for load frequency control of 2-area power system is proposed. Here, a fuzzy precompensated PID controller is designed as a fuzzy logic based precompensation approach for PID controller. This scheme is easily implemented by adding a fuzzy precompensator to an existing PID controller. We optimize the fuzzy precompensator with an immune algorithm for complementing the demerit such as the difficulty of the component selection of fuzzy controller, namely, scaling factor, membership function and fuzzy rules. Simulation results show that the proposed robust load frequency controller can achieve good performance even in the presence of generation rate constraints.

In this paper, a self-learning fuzzy controller is designed with a fuzzy approximation of an inverse model. The aim of an identification is to find an input command which is control of a system output. It is intuitional and easy to use a classical adaptive inverse modeling method for the identification, but it is difficult and complex to implement it. This problem can be solved with a fuzzy approximation of an inverse modeling. The fuzzy logic effectively represents the complex phenomena of the real world. Also fuzzy system could be represented by the neural network that is useful for a learning structure. The rule of a fuzzy inverse model is modified by the gradient descent method. The goal is to be obtained that makes the design of fuzzy controller less complex, and then this self-learning fuzz controller can be used for nonlinear dynamic system. We have applied this scheme to a nonlinear Ball and Beam system.

In this paper proposed the solar tracking system to use a fuzzy based on PC in order to increase an output of the PV array. The solar tracking system operated two DC motors driving by signal of photo sensor. The control of dual axes is not an easy task due to nonlinear dynamics and unavailability of the parameters. Recently, artificial intelligent control of the fuzzy control, neural-network and genetic algorithm etc. have been studied. The fuzzy control made a nonlinear dynamics to well perform and had a robust and highly efficient characteristic about a parameter variable as well as a nonlinear characteristic. Hence the fuzzy control was used to perform the tracking system after comparing with error values of setting-up. nonlinear altitude and azimuth. In this paper designed a fuzzy controller for improving output of PV array and evaluated comparison with efficient of conventional PI controller. The data which were obtained by experiment were able to show a validity of the proposed controller.

This paper describes the use of fuzzy control and decision making to simulate the control of traffic flow at an intersection. To show the value of fuzzy logic as an alternative method for control of traffic environments. A traffic environment includes the lanes to and from an intersection, the intersection, vehicle traffic, and signal lights in the intersection. To test the fuzzy logic controller, a computer simulation was constructed to model a traffic environment. A typical cross intersection was chosen for the traffic environment, and the performance of the fuzzy logic controller was compared with the performance of two different types of conventional control. In the hardware verifications, fuzzy logic was used to control acceleration of a model train on a circular path. For the software experiment, the fuzzy logic controller proved better than conventional control methods, especially in the case of highly uneven traffic flow between different directions. On the hardware si e of the research, the fuzzy acceleration control system showed a marked improvement in smoothness of ride over crisp control.

A neuro-fuzzy algorithm is presented for nuclear reactor power control in a pressurized water reactor. Automatic reacotr power control is complicated by the use of control rods because of highly nonlinear dynamics in the axial power shape. Thus, manual shaped controls are usually employed even for the limited capability during the power maneuvers. In an attempt to achieve automatic shape control, a neuro-fuzzy approach is considered because fuzzy algorithms are good at various aspects of operator's knowledge representation while neural networks are efficinet structures capable of learning from experience and adaptation to a changing nuclear core state. In the proposed neuro-fuzzy control scheme, the rule base is formulated based ona multi-input multi-output system and the dynamic back-propagation is used for learning. The neuro-fuzzy powere control algorithm has been tested using simulation fesponses of a Korean standard pressurized water reactor. The results illustrate that the proposed control algorithm would be a parctical strategy for automatic nuclear reactor power control.

To overcome problems in tracking error related to the unmodeled dynamics in the high speed operation of industrial robots, many researchers have used sliding mode control, which is robust against parameter variations and payload changes. However, these algorithms cannot reduce the inherent chattering which is caused by excessive switching inputs around the sliding surface. This study proposes a fuzzy-sliding mode control algorithm to reduce the chattering of the sliding mode control by fuzzy rules within a pre-determined dead zone. Trajectory tracking simulations and experiments show that chattering can be reduced prominently by the fuzzy-sliding mode control algorithm compared to a sliding mode control with two dead zones, and the proposed control algorithm is robust to changes in payload. The proposed control algorithm is implemented to the SCARA (selected compliance articulated robot assembly) robot using a DSP (digital signal processor) for high speed calculations.

This paper presents and output feedback fuzzy H(sup)$\infty$ control problem for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying delayed state. The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear systems with time-varying delayed state. Using a single quadratic Lyapunov function, the globally exponential stability and disturance attenuation of the closed-loop fuzzy control system are discussed. Sufficient conditions for the existence of fuzzy H(sup)$\infty$ controllers are given in terms of matrix inequalities. Constructive algorithm for design of fuzzy H(sup)$\infty$ controller is also developed. A simulation example is given to illustrate the performance of the proposed design method.

Abstracts In this paper, we propose a robust adaptive fuzzy control scheme using a sliding control input for tracking of a class of MISO nonlinear systems with unknown bounded external disturbances. In the proposed scheme, the nonlinearity is estimated adaptively via a fuzzy inference based on a fuzzy model. A sliding control input is introduced such that boundedness of all signals in the system is guaranteed even though the existence of a fuzzy approximation error and external disturbances. The controller parameters are updated by using a proposed adaptation law, which is similar 1-modification method. Computer simulation shows the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
