Fuzzy controllers are efficient and interpretable system controllers for continuous state and action spaces. To date, such controllers have been constructed manually or trained automatically either using expert-generated problem-specific cost functions or incorporating detailed knowledge about the optimal control strategy. Both requirements for automatic training processes are not found in most...

Fuzzy logic based PID controllers have been studied in this paper, considering several combinations of hybrid controllers by grouping the proportional, integral and derivative actions with fuzzy inferencing in different forms. Fractional order (FO) rate of error signal and FO integral of control signal have been used in the design of a family of decomposed hybrid FO fuzzy PID controllers. The i...

As plant speci cations become complicated, more robust controller design methodologies are needed. A Genetic Algorithm optimizer, which utilizes natural evolution strategies, o ers a promising technology that supports optimization of the parameters of fuzzy logic and other parameterized non-linear controllers. This paper shows how GAs can e ectively and e ciently optimize the performance of par...

Diabetes therapy is normally based on discrete insulin infusion that uses long-time interval measurements. Nevertheless, in this paper, a continuous drug infusion closed-loop control system was proposed to avoid the traditional discrete approaches by automating diabetes therapy. Based on a continuous insulin injection model, two controllers were designed to deal with this plant. The controllers...

Turbo-expanders are used in industries for cooling, liquefaction and also power generation. An important part of these turbines is the variable angle nozzle causing a nonlinear behavior that is not well recognized among the prime movers of the dispersed generators. In this paper, at first, the turbo expander system is evaluated in details and its nonlinear behavior is investigated. Then, the sy...

In this paper, a silicon compiler for analog fuzzy controllers is presented. The layout is automatically generated automatically, starting from a set of user specificationssuch as number of rules, number of inputs and maximum current (power consumption). This tool relies on a library of parametrizable basic cells designed in a CMOS 0.7 m technology.The structure of the defuzzificationpart of th...

A Lyapunov based switching control design method for non linear systems using fuzzy models is proposed. The switching controller consists of several linear state feedback controllers; only one of the linear controllers is employed at each moment according to a switching scheme. The gains of the linear state feedback controllers are derived based on Lyapunov stability theory. The fuzzy design mo...
