in this paper, a robust tracking control method for automatic take-off and trajectory tracking of a quadrotor helicopter is presented. the designed controller includes two parts: a position controller and an attitude controller. the attitude controller is designed by using the sliding mode control (smc) method to track the desired pitch and roll angles, which are the output of position controll...

Because of extreme local saturation at pole tips of excited phase and uncircular shape of rotor and stator, a Swithed Reluctance Motor (SRM) does not have a simple and accurate mathematical model. Therefore, the output control of this motor requires a robust controller which is not based on an accurate model of the process. Fuzzy controllers, to some extent, will satisfy these requirements. Tet...

model predictive controller is widely used in industrial plants. uncertainty is one of the critical issues in real systems. in this paper, the direct adaptive simplified model predictive control (smpc) is proposed for unknown or time varying plants with uncertainties. by estimating the plant step response in each sample, the controller is designed and the controller coefficients are directly ca...

in this paper, a new structure possessing the advantages of low-power consumption, less hardware and high-speed is proposed for fuzzy controller. the maximum output delay for general fuzzy logic controllers (flc) is about 86 ns corresponding to 11.63 mflips (fuzzy logic inference per second) while this amount of the delay in the designed fuzzy controller becomes 52ns that corresponds to 19.23 m...

the problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. the slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...

this paper presents a new optimization algorithm to design an optimal proportional, integral, derivative (pid) controller in hydro-turbine generator governor for damping output frequency oscillations. in this research, we utilize a stochastic and optimal based pid controller to control frequency-response of the hydro turbine. the proposed algorithm is employed to design an optimal pid controlle...

one of the most important challenges in nonlinear, multi-input multi-output (mimo) and time variant systems (e.g., robot manipulator) is designing a controller with acceptable performance. this paper focused on design a new artificial non linear controller with on line tunable gain applied in the robot manipulator. the sliding mode fuzzy controller (smfc) was designed as 7 rules mamdani’s infer...

abstract: this paper presents dynamic modelling and control of a linear prismatic series of elastic actuator. the capability of generating large torques is why this actuator is increasingly used in human-assistive robotic systems. due to having human in the loop, the actuator requires precise control. a fractional pid controller known for its improved performance is used for the control, due to...

surge is one of the two destructive factors in compressors. surge is the stream instability phenomenon in compressor that imposes severe damages to the compressors. nowadays, suppressingsurge phenomenon is one of the most important issues in oil and gas industries, especially when flow reduction or gas reflux is considered. according to moore-greitzer compressor model, this paper designs an act...
