In this paper, to overcome drawbacks of FLC a self tuning fuzzy sliding mode controller is proposed, which controls the position of excavator's attachment, which can be regarded as an ill-defined system. It is reported that fuzzy logic theory is especially useful in the control of ill-defined system. It is important in the design of a FLC to derive control rules in which the system's dynamic characteristics are taken into account. Control rules are usually established using trial and error methods. However, in the case where the dynamic characteristics vary with operating conditions, as in the operation of excavator attachment, it is difficult to find out control rules in which all the working condition parameters are considered. Experiments are carried out on a test bed which is built around a commercial Hyundai HX-60W hydraulic excavator. The experimental results show that both alleviation of chattering and performance are achieved. Fuzzy rules are easily obtained by using the proposed method and good performance in the following the desired trajectory is achieved. In summary, the proposed controller is very effective control method for the position control of the excavator's attachment.

In this paper, we try to analyze two kinds of conventional neuro-fuzzy learning algorithms, which are widely used in recent fuzzy applications for tuning fuzzy rules, and give a summarization of their properties. Some of these properties show that uses of the conventional neuro-fuzzy learning algorithms are sometimes difficult or inconvenient for constructing an optimal fuzzy system model in practical fuzzy applications.

It is the purpose of this paper to present a dialogical designing method for control system using a rough grasp of the unknown process property. We deal with a single-input single-output feedback control system with a fuzzy controller. The process property is roughly estimated by the step response, and the fuzzy controller is interactively modified according to the operator's requests. The modifying rules mainly derived from computer simulation are useful for almost every process, such as an unstable process and a non-minimum phase process. The fuzzy controller is tuned by taking notice of four characteristics of the step response: (1) rising time, (2) overshoot, (3) amplitude and (4) period of vibration. The tuning position of the controller is fourfold: (1) antecedent gain factor GE or GCE, (2) consequent gain factor GDU, (3) arrangement of the antecedent fuzzy labels and (4) arrangement of the control rules. The rules give an instance to the respective items of the controller in an effective order. The modified fuzzy PI controller realizes a good response of a stable process. However, because the GDU tuning becomes difficult for the unstable process, it is necessary to evaluate the stability of the process from the initial step response. The fuzzy PI controller is applied to the process whose initial step response converges with GDU tuning. The fuzzy PI controller with modified sampling time is applied to the process whose step response converges under the repeated application of the GDU tuning. The fuzzy PD controller is applied to the process whose step response never converges by the GDU tuning.

This paper presents an approach to self-tuning PI control of dynamic plants, based on fuzzy logic application. A fuzzy logic composed of linguistic conditional statements is employed by defining the relations of input-output variables of the controller. In the synthesis of a fuzzy logic controller, one of the most difficult problem is the selection of linguistic control rules and parameters. To overcome this difficulty, self-tuning fuzzy PI controller (STFPIC) with a hierarchical structure in which the fuzzy PI controller is assigned as the lower level and the rule modification and parameter adjustment as the higher level. The rules and parameters are generated by the adjustment of membership function through performance index(PE). In this paper, the algorithm for of the controller performance is estimated by means of computer simulation.

This paper proposes a fuzzy-sliding mode control which is designed by a self tuning fuzzy inference method based on a genetic algorithm. Using the method, the number of inference rules and the shape of the membership functions of the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode control are optimized without the aid of an expert in robotics. The fuzzy outputs of the consequent part are updated by the gradient descent method. It is further guaranteed that the selected solution becomes the global optimal solution by optimizing Akaikes information criterion expressing the quality of the inference rules. In order to evaluate the learning performance of the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode control based on a genetic algorithm, a trajectory tracking simulation of the polishing robot is carried out. Simulation results show that the optimal fuzzy inference rules are automatically selected by the genetic algorithm and the trajectory control result is similar to the result of the fuzzy-sliding mode control which is selected through trial error by an expert. Therefore, a designer who does not have expert knowledge of robot systems can design the fuzzy-sliding mode controller using the proposed self tuning fuzzy inference method based on the genetic algorithm.

In this paper the design method of a fuzzy logic controller with a genetic algorithm is proposed. Fuzzy logic controller is based on linguistic descriptions(in the form of fuzzy IF-THEN rules) from human experts. The auto-tuning method is presented to automatically improve the output performance of controller utilizing the genetic algorithm. The GA algorithm estimates automatically the optimal values of scaling factors and membership function parameters of fuzzy control rules. Controllers are applied to the processes with time-delay and the DC servo motor. Computer simulations are conducted at the step input and the output performances are evaluated in the ITAE.

A rule based fuzzy expert system to self-tune PID controllers is proposed in this paper. The proposed expert system contains two rule bases, where one is responsible for "Long term tuning" and the other for "Incremental tuning". The rule for "Long term tuning" are extracted from the Wills'map and the knowledge about the implicit relations between PID gains and important long term features of the output response such as overshoot, damping and rise time, etc., while 'Incremental tuning" rules are obtained from the relations between PID gains and short term features, error and change in error. In the PID control environment, the proposed expert system operates in two phases sequentially. In the first phase, the long term tuning is performed until long term features meet their desired values approximately. Then the incremental tuning tarts with PID gains provided by the long term tuning procedure. It is noticeable that the final PID gains obtained in the incremental tuning phase are only the temporal ones. Simulation results show that the proposed rule base for "Long term tuning" provides superior control performance to that of Litt and that further improvement of control performance is obtained by the "Incremental tuning'.ance is obtained by the "Incremental tuning'.ing'.

A design method of rule -based fuzzy modeling is presented for the model identification of complex and nonlinear systems. The proposed rule-based fuzzy modeling implements system structure and parameter identification in the efficient form of " IF..., THEN,," statements. using the theories of optimization and linguistic fuzzy implication rules. The improved complex method, which is a powerful auto-tuning algorithm, is used for tuning of parameters of the premise membership functions in consideration of the overall structure of fuzzy rules. The optimized objective function, including the weighting factors, is auto-tuned for better performance of fuzzy model using training data and testing data. According to the adjustment of each weighting factor of training and testing data, we can construct the optimal fuzzy model from the objective function. The least square method is utilized for the identification of optimum consequence parameters. Gas furance and a sewage treatment proce s are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed rule-based fuzzy modeling.

More fuzzy hardware are expected to be utilized in the future to construct fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs). It is hard to find an existing fuzzy hardware which is adopting advanced functions such as self-tuning algorithm in addition to the conventional inference calculation. That is mainly because conventional self-tuning algorithms designed to implement with some hardware circuits is required for fuzzy hardwares to have self-tuning capability. As a first step toward the feature, a novel self-tuning algorithm is proposed in this paper. Based on the search method, the main idea of the proposed algorithm is to detemine valid ranges of input variables of an FLC in order to maximize performance indices fo the control system. The performance indices are so ismple as to be realized by hardware circuit. in dadditon to the conventional scaling-factor adjustment, the algorithm adjusts offset values as well, which, in effect, modifies fuzzy rules of the FLC. To justify the performance of the proposed algorithm, a simulation study is executed.
