The pneumatic control system for double-cylinder collaborative loading is extensively applied in the industry. However, compared to the hydraulic system, it is difficult for the pneumatic system for double-cylinder collaborative loading to get satisfactory effect due to strong non-linearity and low rigidity. To improve robustness of the double-cylinder collaborative loading system and increase ...

In the sewage treatment system, the dissolved oxygen concentration control, due to its nonlinear, time-varying, large time delay and uncertainty, is difficult to establish the exact mathematical model. While the conventional PID controller only works with good linear not far from its operating point, it is difficult to realize the system control when the operating point far off. To solve the ab...

This paper presents the automatic drug administration for the regulation of bispectral (BIS) index in the anesthesia process during the clinical surgery by controlling the concentration target of two drugs, namely, propofol and remifentanil. To realize the automatic drug administration, real clinical data are collected for 42 patients for the construction of patients’ models consisting of pharm...

In view of the control problem of Permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), applying port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) systems and passivity -based control theory, the modeling of Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor is presented. Using energy-shaping and passivity-based control (PBC) method, the control principle of PMLSM is given. The control laws are presented in load known con...

This paper deals with the mapping approximation problem by means of a neural network. In particular it presents the GMR (Generalized Mapping Regressor) neural network, which belongs to the family of self-supervised NNs. It is an incremental self-organizing neural network which can approximate every multidimensional function or relation presenting any kind of discontinuity. It can also simultane...

Control engineers have been aware of non-minimum phase systems showing either undershoot or time-delay characteristics for some considerable time (Linoya & Altpeter, 1962; Mita & Yoshida, 1981; Vidyasagar, 1986; Waller & Nygardas, 1975). A number of researchers that addressed this problem from a predictive control point of view mainly followed one of two approaches: a classical (non-optimal) pr...

The paper describes modelling and control techniques studied and applied to selected pantograph-catenary (PAC) systems. The work has been co-funded by the European Union under the ERDF project: PAntograph-Catenary Interaction Framework for Intelligent Control (PACIFIC). Mechanical models of PAC systems are implemented in MATLAB using novel techniques, where applicable. Next, important physical ...

In this paper the design methodology of parallel distributed fuzzy PID control is presented. The idea is to design a control law for each rule of the fuzzy controller and blend them together. The proposed parallel distributed fuzzy control algorithm is developed as a natural similarity to the conventional PID controller. This paper describes the structure and the design aspects of a fuzzy PID c...

Conventional controller’s usually required a prior knowledge of mathematical modelling of the process. The inaccuracy of mathematical modelling degrades the performance of the process, especially for non-linear and complex control problem. The process used is Water-Bath system, which is most widely used and nonlinear to some extent. For Water-Bath system, it is necessary to attain desired tempe...
