Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in engineering applications such that more than half of the industrial controllers are PID controllers. There are many methods for tuning the PID parameters in the literature. In this paper an intelligent technique based on eXtended Classifier System (XCS) is presented to tune the PID controller parameters. The PID controlle...

background: functional electrical stimulation (fes) is the most commonly used system for restoring functions after spinal cord injury (sci). objective: in this study we investigated feedback pid and feedforward-feedback p-pid controllers for regulating the elbow joint angle. methods: the controllers were tuned based on a nonlinear muculoskeletal model containing two links, one joint with one de...

sliding mode control (smc) is a powerful approach to solve the tracking problem for   dynamical systems with uncertainties. however, the traditional smcs introduce actuator chattering phenomenon which performs a desirable behavior in many physical systems such as servo control and robotic systems, particularly, when the zero steady state error is required.  many methods have been proposed to el...

We proposed a fuzzy control scheme to implement the cycle-to-cycle control for restoring swing phase of gait using functional electrical stimulation (FES). We designed two fuzzy controllers for the biceps femoris short head (BFS) and the vastus muscles to control flexion and extension of the knee joint during the swing phase. Control capabilities of the designed fuzzy controllers were tested an...

Closed-loop stabilization with guaranteed stability margin using Proportional+Integral+Derivative (PID) controllers is investigated for a class of linear multi-input multioutput plants. A sufficient condition for existence of such PID-controllers is derived. A systematic synthesis procedure to obtain such PID-controllers is presented with numerical examples. Keywords– Simultaneous stabilization...

Objective of this paper is to design various controllers for a temperature process control. PID controller is the well known and most widely used in the industries. Internal Model Control (IMC) has become the leading form of advanced control in the process industry. Modified form of IMC-PID and Fuzzy PID Controllers are designed for First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPTD) process model. The comparat...

We examine a design method for robust stabilizing modified proportional– integral–derivative (PID) controllers for time-delay plants with uncertainty. The PID controller structure is very widely used in industrial applications. However, the plants to which the PID controller is applicable are restricted. Yamada, Hagiwara and Shimizu proposed a design method for robust stabilizing modified PID c...
