This paper proposes a novel anti-swing control strategy for an overhead crane. The controller includes both position regulation and anti-swing control. Since the crane model is not exactly known, fuzzy rules are used to compensate friction, gravity as well as the coupling between position and anti-swing control. A high-gain observer is introduced to estimate the joint velocities to realize PD c...

In this paper, A Novel Stochastic Algorithm using Pythagorean means for minimization of the objective function is described. The algorithm is initially tested with Rastrigin’s function and compared with Genetic algorithm results for the function with the same initial conditions. After this, it is used in tuning the gains of fuzzy PD + I controller for trajectory control of PUMA 560 robot manipu...

In this paper, we present an effective and efficient diagnosis system using fuzzy k-nearest neighbor (FKNN) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis. The proposed FKNN-based system is compared with the support vector machines (SVM) based approaches. In order to further improve the diagnosis accuracy for detection of PD, the principle component analysis was employed to construct the most discrimin...

This study presents the use of a vision-based fuzzy-PID lane-keeping control system for simulation single-track bicycle model. The (LKS) processes images to identify lateral deviation vehicle from desired reference track and generates steering command correct deviation. LKS was compared other methods, such as Ziegler–Nichols proportional derivative (PD) model predictive (MPC), in terms response...

Cable joint insulation breakdown may cause a huge loss to power companies. Therefore, it is vital to diagnose the insulation quality to detect early signs of insulation failure. It is well known that there is a correlation between Partial discharge (PD) and the insulation quality. Although many works have been done on PD pattern recognition, it is usually performed in a noise free environment. ...
