As the robot manipulators are highly nonlinear, time varying and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems, one of the most important challenges in the field of robotics is robot manipulators control with acceptable performance. In this research paper, a simple and computationally efficient Fuzzy Logic Controller is designed based on the Fuzzy Lyapunov Synthesis (FLS) for the position contr...

This paper proposes a Neuro-Fuzzy Controller to Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC), which might have a significant impact on power system dynamics. We tune the scaling factors of neuro-fuzzy controller using adaptive critic. The proposed method is used for damping the low frequency oscillations caused by disturbances such as a sudden change of small or large loads or an outage in the ...

Fuzzy controller’s design depends mainly on the rule base and membership functions over the controller’s input and output ranges. This paper presents two different approaches to deal with these design issues. A simple and efficient approach; namely, Fuzzy Subtractive Clustering is used to identify the rule base needed to realize Fuzzy PI and PD type controllers. This technique provides a mechan...

Analytical analysis of the structure of fuzzy controllers is important as it provides insightful information and makes it possible to eliminate or reduce the trial-and-error effort in system design. Most results available in the literature only deal with the fuzzy controllers using up to three input variables (i.e. PI, PD, or PID type with the input space being three dimensional at most). In th...

Fuzzy logic control has emerged as one of the active area for research. It has evolved as an alternative to the conventional control strategies in various engineering areas. The way is applying fuzzy logic to the design of PID controllers is termed as Fuzzy PID controllers. In this paper, fuzzy logic based PID controllers are compared with fuzzy logic based PD and PI controllers on the basis of...

This paper proposes a management strategy for a diesel generating set (GS) covering the mechanical part of the system which includes speed and active power control, the electrical part of the system which includes voltage and reactive power control, and the synchronism with the grid. The management is based on a fuzzy PD+I controller structure which uses a fixed controller surface for all fuzzy...

This paper describes the design and development of a fuzzy logic controller for the position control of wheeled mobile robots (WMRs). The WMRs are of the type applied in Micro Robot Soccer Tournament (MIROSOT). To meet the control objective, conventional methods rely on an accurate dynamic model of the open-loop plant, as well as a well-calibrated image system. To alleviate these limitations, w...

this paper proposes an approach for the minimum time swing upof a rotary inverted pendulum. our rotary inverted pendulum is supported bya pivot arm. the pivot arm rotates in a horizontal plane by means of a servomotor. the opposite end of the arm is instrumented with a joint whose axisis along the radial direction of the motor. a pendulum is suspended at thejoint. the task is to design a contro...
