Under-actuated robot manipulator is a kinematic chain wherein total degree of the freedom of the mechanism is more than actuators. Under actuated manipulators are advantageous from the minimalism viewpoint in robotics where a task is performed with less energy consuming actuations. In fact dynamic of the mechanism is exploited instead of fighting it [1][2]. Moreover, studies on under-actuated c...

Allowable PI and PD controller gains for a class of unstable MIMO systems with input/output delays have been investigated in [5, 12]. Using the results of these studies, we propose a new method for tuning the parameters of PI and PID controllers for integrating processes with time delays. As an application of this method, we design PI and PID controllers for Active Queue Management of TCP flows...

Control of a magnetic bearing device is addressed by parameter varying control. Within the structure of decentralized PID controllers we compare linear interpolation and switching strategies with and without hysteresis. Piecewise LPV decentralized PID controllers are found to be an interesting alternative. Our method exploits the possibility to pre-compute for every parameter value an H∞ optima...

AbstructWhile proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in industrial applications, they exhibit poor performance when applied to systems containing unknown nonlinearities, such as deadzones, saturation, and hysteresis. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy logic-based precompensation approach for PID controllers. We demonstrate the performance of our scheme via experiments...

This paper presents a pseudo-equivalence of digital fuzzy PID controllers with linear PID controllers in the continuous time domain. Transfer functions and equivalence relations between controller’s parameters are obtained for the common structures of the fuzzy PID controllers. The pseudo-equivalence is made using a graphic analytical analysis based on the input-output transfer characteristics ...

The paper is focused on computation of all possible robustly stabilizing Proportional-IntegralDerivative (PID) controllers for oblique wing aircraft modelled as interval system. The main idea of the proposed method is based on Tan’s technique for calculation of (nominally) stabilizing PI and PID controllers or robustly stabilizing PI controllers by means of plotting the stability boundary locus...

We introduce a novel and robust active queue management (AQM) scheme based on a fuzzy controller, called hybrid fuzzy-PID controller. In the TCP network, AQM is important to regulate the queue length by passing or dropping the packets at the intermediate routers. RED, PI, and PID algorithms have been used for AQM. But these algorithms show weaknesses in the detection and control of congestion u...

In this paper, we examine a design method of modified PID (Proportional-IntegralDerivative) controllers for multiple-input/multiple-output plants. PID controller structure is the most widely used one in industrial applications. Recently the parametrization of all stabilizing PID controller has been considered. Yamada and Hagiwara proposed a design method of modified PID controllers such that mo...

This paper describes the benchmark proposed for the IFAC Conference on Advances in PID Controllers (PID’12) at the end of july 2011. It is expected that this benchmark allows researchers to test their recent developments in the design of PID controllers. Two approaches to the boiling process were provided; the first ready to test a multivariable PID controller and the second ready to test PID c...

1-Department of Electrical Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran 1591634311, Iran * Corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: A fractional order PID (FOPID) for a load frequency control (LFC) is presented in a three-area power system. FOPID controllers are designed the same way as PID controllers are, with the difference that FOPID controllers have five parameters...
