Conducting polymers actuators (CPAs) are potential candidates for replacing conventional actuators in various fields, such as robotics and biomedical engineering, due to their advantageous properties, which includes their low cost, light weight, low actuation voltage and biocompatibility. As these actuators are very suitable for use in micro-nano manipulation and in injection devices in which t...

Traffic control in large cities is a difficult and non-trivial optimization problem. This paper presents a optimized classifier system using fuzzy logic for recognize and traffic signal control in a single intersection. Also this paper presents preliminary work into designing an intelligent local controller primarily for distributed traffic control systems by fuzzy logic. The idea is to use a c...

The VHDL-AMS based genetic optimization of fuzzy logic controller for movement control systems is discussed here. The designs have been carried out in the digital domain with HDL. The basic components of the fuzzy logic controller are designed using VHDL-AMS. The proposed work focuses on control of speed with respect to input parameter such as Alignment & distance with triangular membership fun...

This paper presents a novel indirect adaptive Power System Stabilizer (PSS) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. Fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. The synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

This paper illustrates an application of intelligent control for a planar 3-RRR parallel manipulator. Unlike control of serial manipulators that has been vastly addressed in scientific literature, control of parallel manipulators has been only addressed by few. A GA optimized bi-level tuning fuzzy PD controller is designed here to control the manipulator. In order to consider the maximum allowa...

anti-lock braking system (abs) which is a nonlinear and time variant system may not be easily controlled by classic control methods. this is due to the fact that classic linear controllers are just capable of controlling a specific plant in small region of state space. to overcome this problem, a more powerful control technique must be employed for complex nonlinear plants. fuzzy controllers ar...
