A nonlinear optimal controller with a fuzzy gain scheduler has been designed and applied to a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) stabilization system. Use of Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) theory is an optimal and simple manner of solving many control engineering problems. However, this method cannot be utilized directly for multigimbal LOS systems since they are nonlinear in nature. To adapt LQ controllers...

there are two interesting methods, in the literature, for solving fuzzy linear programming problems in which the elements of coefficient matrix of the constraints are represented by real numbers and rest of the parameters are represented by symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. the first method, named as fuzzy primal simplex method, assumes an initial primal basic feasible solution is at hand. t...

This paper deals with the stabilization of uncertain nonlinear time-delay systems subject to input saturation. A nonlinear time-delay system is first represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model, a set of fuzzy implications which are used to characterize local dynamics with actuator saturation. Based on a delay independent stability analysis, a domain of attraction in which the admissible ini...

The method for finding fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy critical path (FFCP) problems i.e., critical path problems in which all the parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers, is at best scant; possibly non-existent. In this paper, a method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of FFCP problems, together with a new representation of triangular fuzzy numbers. This paper will show ...

This paper presents an indirect adaptive fuzzy control scheme for a class of unknown multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with external disturbances. Within this scheme, the dynamic fuzzy logic system (DFLS) is employed to identify the unknown nonlinear MIMO systems. The control law and parameter adaptation laws of DFLS are derived based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach. The cont...

In order to reduce the vibration of smart structures, this paper gets the optimal location of piezoelectric patch by the D-optimal design principle, and then uses the fuzzy logic to control the smart structures vibration. The fuzzy IF-THEN rules are established on analysis of the motion traits of cantilever beam. The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) designs base on using the displacement and veloci...

The purpose of shaking tables is to replicate the desired motion to specimen, which needs to ensure not only the synchronization precision of two tables, but the tracking precision for the desired signal. Due to the nonlinearity of system and eccentric of load masses, both tracking and synchronous accuracy are poor. To solve this problem, this article proposes a novel hybrid controller combined...

This paper presents an algorithm to track an industrial robot hand during its movement. Based on acquired image and knowing the robot hand model, the pose is obtained. This information is used to move a pan-tilt camera and keep the robot hand centered in the image every time using an adaptive fuzzy logic controlled. This control law is used combined with a position prediction technique to impro...

This work considers the problem of controlling multiple nonholonomic vehicles so that they converge to a scent source without colliding with each other. Since the control is to be implemented on simple &bit microcontrollers, fuzzy control rules are used to simplify a linear quadratic regulator control design. The inputs to the fuzzy controllers for each vehicle q e the (noisy) direction to the ...

Available Bit Rate (ABR) streams are carried whenever bandwidth is available to do so. When transporting MPEG streams over ATM networks, the link utilization cannot be brought close to 100% no matter how efficient the connection control admission scheme is, but can be improved by ABR traffic. Due to the unpredictable fluctuations and burstiness of the MPEG streams, it is difficult to accurately...
