This paper describes a fuzzy steering controller for an autonomous mobile robot with MR sensor. Using the magnetic field(Bx, By, Bz) obtained from the MR sensor, we designed fuzzy controller for driving on the road center. Fuzzy rule base was built to magnetic field(Bx, By, Bz). To develop an autonomous mobile robot simulation program, we have done modeling MR sensor, dynamic model of mobile robot and coordinate transformation. A computer simulation of the robot including mobile robot dynamics and steering was used to verify the steering performance of the mobile robot controller using the fuzzy logic Good results were obtained by computer simulation. So, we confirmed the robustness of the proposed fuzzy controller by computer ...

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.

In this paper, a new model, which is a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, for mobile robot is presented. A controller, consisting of two loops the one of which is the inner state feedback loop designed for stability and the outer loop is a PI controller designed for tracking the reference input, is suggested. Because the robot dynamics is nonlinear, it requires the controller to be insensitive to the nonlinear term. To achieve this objective, the model is developed by well known T-S fuzzy model. The design algorithm of inner state-feedback loop is regional pole-placement. In this paper, regions, for which poles of the inner state feedback loop are lie in, are formulated by LMI's. By solving these LMI's, we can obtain the state feedback gains for T-S fuzzy system. And this paper shows that the PI controller is equivalent to the state feedback and the cost function for reference tracking is equivalent to the LQ(linear quadratic) cost. By using these properties, it is also shown in this paper that the PI controller can be obtained by solving the LQ problem.

In this paper, we proposed an optimal identification method of the membership functions and the numbers of fuzzy rule base for the stabilization controller of the Thermal process control system by RVEGA. Although fuzzy logic controllers and expert systems have been successfully applied in many complex industrial process, they must rely on experts knowledges. So it is difficult in determination of the linguistic state space, definition of the membership functions of each linguistic term and the derivation of the control rules. To verify the validity of this RVEGA-based fuzzy controller, Thermal process control system, with strong nonlinear dynamics, was selected for application of this algorithm and compare with PI controller, and the empirically improved fuzzy controller.

We presents a new method of constructing an equivalent T-S fuzzy model by using the sum of products of linearly independent scalar functions from nonlinear dynamics. This method exactly expresses nonlinear systems and automatically determines the number of rules. We design a stabilizing controller f3r ul inverted pendulum system by using the concep of parallel distributed compensation (PDC) and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) based on the proposed T-S fuzzy modeling method. We show effectiveness of a systematically designed fuzzy controller based on the proposed T-S fuzzy modeling method through the simulation and experiment of an inverted pendulum system.

Two methods of constructing T-S fuzzy model which is equivalent to a given nonlinear system are presented. The first method is to obtain an equivalent T-S fuzzy model by using the sum of linearly independent scalar functions with constant real matrix coefficients. The sum of products of linearly independent scalar functions is used in the second method. The former method is to formulate the procedures of T-S fuzzy modeling dealt in many examples of previous publications; the latter is a new method. By comparing the number of linearly independent functions used in the two methods, we can easily find out which method makes fewer rules than the other. The nonlinear dynamics of an inverted Pendulum on a cart is used as an equivalent T-5 fuzzy modeling example.

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 proposes design of LFT-based fuzzy controllers for model-following, which are better than the previous input-output linearization controllers, which are not able to follow the model system states and which do not guarantee the stability of all states. The method proposed in this paper provides a LFT-based Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy controller with guaranteed stability and model-following via the following steps: First, using LFT(Linear Fractional Transformation) and T-S fuzzy model, controllers, are obtained. Next, error dynamics are obtained for model-following, and errors go to 0(zero). Finally, a T-s fuzzy controller that can stabilizxe the system with the requirement on the control input satisfied is obtained by solving the LMIs with the MATLAB LMI Control Toolbox and a model-following controller is obtained. Simulations are performed for the LFT-based T-S fuzzy controller designed by the proposed method, which show better performance than the results of input-out ut linearization controller.

The dynamic characteristics of turning processes are complex, non-linear and time-varying. Consequently, the conventional techniques based on crisp mathematical model may not guarantee cutting force regulation. This paper presents a fuzzy controller which can regulate cutting force in turning process under varying cutting conditions. The fuzzy control rules are extablished from operator experience and expert knowledge about the process dynamics. Regulation which increases productivity and tool life is achieved by adjusting feedrate according to the variation of cutting conditions. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated by cutting experiments in the converted conventional lathe. The results of experiments show that the proposed fuzzy controller has a good cutting force regulation capability in spite of the variation of cutting conditions.

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.
