ph control is a challenging problem due to its highly nonlinear nature. in this paper the performances of two different adaptive global linearizing controllers (glc) are compared. least squares technique has been used for identifying the titration curve. the first controller is a standard glc based on material balances of each species. for implementation of this controller a nonlinear state est...

Today, DC motors is still being used globally due to their easy speed controllability. In this article, an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller is designed for DC motors. The main purpose of performing such task is to reduce the DC motor starting current and deleting the ripple current during starting time in considering control parameters such as: rise time, settling time, ...

This paper provides a comparative study on the performances of standard PID and adaptive PID controllers tested on travel angle of a 3-Degree-of-Freedom (3-DOF) Quanser bench-top helicopter. Quanser, a well-known manufacturer of educational bench-top helicopter has developed Proportional Integration Derivative (PID) controller with Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for all travel, pitch and yaw ...

Accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. Hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. As a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: MIT, direct estimation and indirect estimation. These approaches are used as controllers to track refe...

Quadrotors are growing rapidly in popularity for use as platforms for robotics research worldwide. This paper describes the development of a robust model reference adaptive controller to a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle. Some signi cant characteristics of the system's dynamics are derived for system uncertainties in the case of partial actuator failures. A comparison between the adaptive con...

A new hybrid direct/indirect adaptive fuzzy neural network (FNN) controller with a state observer and supervisory controller for a class of uncertain nonlinear dynamic systems is developed in this paper. The hybrid adaptive FNN controller, the free parameters of which can be tuned on-line by an observer-based output feedback control law and adaptive law, is a combination of direct and indirect ...
