one of the main problems in wind energy conversion system (wecs) is how to achieve maxim­u­m output power in different wind speeds. maximum methods for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion syst­e­ms require the knowledge of system characteristics and mechanic sensors. so, using these methods practically will follow with high price and an abundant difficulties. in this paper, n...

In this paper, we design an image tracking system which is composed of two cameras and two stepping motors. First, The image pair of a moving target is grabbed by two cameras continuously. The horizontal and vertical distances between both centers of this moving target and the image can be determined by using image processing methods. Furthermore, a fuzzy logic controller pair is designed to co...

This paper presents a new fuzzy Lyapunov controller for nonholonomic mobile vehicles. A symbiosis between classical backstepping techniques and fuzzy logic was realized. The control system ensures a good robustness with respect to outside perturbations. These perturbations can interact with the vehicle. They are sources of uncertainty for the system model and can perturb the validity of the non...

-Robust control has long been the purview of quantitative linear control techniques, while qualitative, symbolic control has been deemed more suitable to obtaining complex control objectives that require only low output precision. The intelligent techniques of Fuzzy control have, however, shown promise in obtaining results comparable to those obtained from H∞ and H2 robust control techniques. O...

A fuzzy sliding mode control method is proposed to eliminate the interference that suspended floating objects suffered in the on-ground low-gravity simulation system. Due to the change of sling swing-angle that caused by the external interference is weak, the time integral of the sling swing-angle is taken as tracking errors. Meanwhile the values of angle and the angle differential should be co...

This paper considers the problem of adaptive output feedback tracking control for a class of nonstrict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown time-varying delays and unknown backlash-like hysteresis. Fuzzy logic systems are used to estimate the unknown nonlinear functions. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii method, the control scheme is constructed by using the backstepping and adaptive techniqu...

Accuracy of tracking and robustness are very important specifications in control of parallel robots. Classical control methods could not satisfy these requirements in parallel robots, simultaneously. Sliding mode control solves problems of accurate tracking, but it is not robust enough because of influence of chattering phenomena. Implementation of fuzzy logic in sliding mode enhances robustnes...

In this paper, a direct adaptive fuzzy tracking control scheme is presented for a class of stochastic nonaffine uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown dead-zone input. Based on the first-type fuzzy logic system’s online approximation capability, a direct adaptive fuzzy tracking controller is developed by using the backstepping approach. It is proved that the design scheme ensures that all the...

An approach for the design of fuzzy control laws for tracking control of a large class of mechanical systems is proposed. The approach employs the framework of Lyapunov’s stability theory to formulate a class of control laws that guarantee convergence of the tracking errors to within speci3cation limits in presence of bounded parameter uncertainties and input disturbances. The proposed control ...

This paper proposes an effective algorithm approach to hybrid control systems combining fuzzy logic and conventional control techniques of controlling the speed of induction motor assumed to operate in high-performance drives environment. The introducing of fuzzy logic in the control systems helps to achieve good dynamical response, disturbance rejection and low sensibility to parameter variati...
