A systematic procedure to design fuzzy PID controllers is developed in this paper. The concept of local fuzzy control cell is proposed by introducing both an adequate global control rule and membership functions to simplify a fuzzy logic controller. Fuzzy decision is made by using algebraic product and parallel firing arithematic mean, and a defuzzification strategy is adopted for improving the computational efficiency based on nonfuzzy micro-processor. A direct method, transforming the typical output of quasi-linear fuzzy operator to the digital compensator of PID form, is also proposed. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to an DC-servo motor. It is found that this algorithm is systematic and robust through computer simulations and implementation of controller using Intel 8097 micro-processor.

Recently, there is an increasing need for highly precise processing with the rapid development of precision machinery, electrical and electronics, and semiconductor industries. Cutting machine control relies on the operator's sense and experience in tradition, but it has been greatly enhanced by the adoption of CNC(Computerized Numeric Controller). In addition, cutting dynamics technology has been paid attention to reflect the operating state of machine in real time. This paper presents a method to detect and stabilize tool vibration by attaching an acoustic sensor to a CNC machine. The sensed acoustic data is synchronized with the tool position and the abnormal vibration frequency is separated from the collected acoustic frequency, then analyzed to detect the tool vibration. Also the reliability the tool vibration detection and stabilization is improved by applying the cutting dynamic method. The proposed method is analyzed and evaluated in terms of the surface roughness.

An intelligent optimization method for designing Fractional Order PID(FOPID) controllers based on Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) is presented in this paper. Fractional calculus can provide novel and higher performance extension for FOPID controllers. However, the difficulties of designing FOPID controllers increase, because FOPID controllers append derivative order and integral order in comparison with traditional PID controllers. To design the parameters of FOPID controllers, the enhanced PSO algorithms is adopted, which guarantee the particle position inside the defined search spaces with momentum factor. The optimization performance target is the weighted combination of ITAE and control input. The numerical realization of FOPID controllers uses the methods of Tustin operator and continued fraction expansion. Experimental results show the proposed design method can design effectively the parameters of FOPID controllers.

The rehailitation robot, one of the service robot, is the important area in the service automation. In the paper, we describe the overall configuration of KARES(KAIST Rehabilitation Engineering System), which is an intellingent rehabilitaion robotic system designed to assist the independent livelihood of the handicapped and the eldrly. KARES consists of the 6 degree of freedom robot arm mounted on a wheelchair, the controller ofr the arm, sensors to perceive environment, and user interface. Basic desired hobs in KARES are gripping the target object and moving it to the user's face for eating, drinking, or cooperation work wiht the mouth. Currently, the manual operation of the arm is available for gripping to target objects. The autonomous functionality will be ginven for the facilities of the human operator.

Overhead cranes are the most widely used and have been identified as one of the main causes of fatal accidents. Although structural, mechanical and electrical safety standards for overhead cranes have been established to some extent, ergonomic standards related to crane controllers are rarely established. As a result, many crane accidents are reported to be caused by operator's error. To investigate the actual use of crane controllers in the industrial field, we surveyed 82 overhead cranes in 15 workplace and interviewed workers operating them. This study has presented the ergonomic problems related to the crane controllers in the field. As a result of investigation, it was found that the direction control signs, the sign language, and the button layout on the pendant switches and remote controllers are not standardized, which can cause a human error. To reduce human errors in overhead crane operation, ergonomic standards for controllers should be reflected on the government legislation or standards.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new maximum power point tracking(MPPT) using fuzzy set theory for air conditioning system. Fuzzy algorithm based on linguistic rules describing the operator's control strategy is applied to control step-up chopper for MPPT. Fuzzy algorithm is applied to control boost MPPT converter by temperature compensation effect with 8 bit single chip 8051 microcontroller. In this paper, temperature compensation(Becom Transducer : pf-T type) range is $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}+100^{\circ}C$.

Sintering transforms powdered ore into lumped ore so that the latter can be used in a blast furnace. The powdered ore combined with coke and other materials is loaded into a container and moved along by a pallet while the ignited coke bums. The speed by which the pallet moves determines how much sintering takes place. Since the process is complicated and lacks an accurate mathematical model, human operators manually control the speed by monitoring various factors in the plant. In this paper, we propose a neural network-based pallet speed controller which copies human operator knowledge. Actual process data were collected from a sintering plant fer eight months and preprocessed to remove noisy and inconsistent data. A multilayer perceptron was trained using a back-propagation learning algorithm. In on-line testing at the sinter plant, the proposed model reliably controlled pallet speed during normal operation without the help of human operators. Moreover, the duality and productivity was as good as with human operators.

KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has been performing the project named PEFP (proton engineering frontier project). PEFP has been performing the project of a high power proton accelerator. Control system for 20 MeV proton accelerating structure has developed. We use the EPICS(Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) tool kit as a foundation of the control system. EPICS is adopted for control systems which have OPI(OPerator Interface) and IOqlnput Output Controller). We have performed the PEPF control system on SUN workstation host computer. In this paper, we present the vacuum monitor, RFQ, and DTL Turbo pump control system.

In the turning process, the feed is usually selected by a machining operator considering workpiece, cutting tool and depth of cut. Even if this selection can avoid power saturation or tool breakage, it is usually conservative compared to the capacity of the machine tools and can reduce the productivity significantly. This paper proposes a selection method of the feed and the reference cutting force based on MRR(material removal rate), maximum spindle power and specific energy. In order to estimate and control cutting force accurately in transient and steady state, this study utilizes a synthesized cutting force estimation method and a Fuzzy controller. The experimental results present that these systems can be useful for the FMS(flexible manufacturing system) and unmanned automation system.
