In model reference adaptive controller (MRACs), the adaptive gain of the controller is varied according to the process dynamic variation as it is directly related with the system stability. In MRAC, there is no provision of an automatic selection of adaptive gain and adaptation rate. To get rid...

Purpose As more and more robots are used in industry, it is necessary for robots to interact with high dynamic environments. For this reason, the purpose of this research is to form an excellent force controller by considering the transient contact force response, overshoot and steady-state...

This paper calibrates on-line the parameters of a controller-estimated driver behavior model used in a deployable behavior-consistent approach for real-time route guidance by checking the consistency between the time-dependent actual and estimated system states. The behavior model has a fuzzy...

The stability problem of power networks becomes increasingly important since the rapid development and broad application of wind energy technology. We continue to lack a well-established mathematical model to describe and characterize power systems associated with wind power in essence of random...

A novel three-dimensional fuzzy logic controller (3D FLC) was developed recently for spatially distributed systems. In this study, the inherent spatial structure feature of a 3D FLC with two spatial inputs (also called as 3D two-term FLC) is first exposed via an analytical model. Then, the...

The problem of reliable guaranteed cost sampling control is investigated for nonlinear time-delay systems in this paper. Sufficient conditions for the existence of state feedback controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequities (LMIs), which guarantee asymptotic stability with the...

The fuzzy control theory is used for controlling an autonomous mobile robot for the parallel parking, and the fuzzy rules can be derived by modeling driving actions of the conventional car. Loci of the robot for the parking are drawn through the computer simulation. In such a simulation, the...

In this study we construct and derive analytical solutions for a mathematical model of an oceanic environment in which wave-induced flow fields cause structural surge motion after which a fuzzy control technique is developed to alleviate structural vibration. Specifically the Takagi–Sugeno...

This paper focuses on loss minimization in induction motor (IM) drives. In many applications Induction Motor drives work below the nominal torque most of the time. In these circumstances the IM efficiency can be improved lowering the flux. For a given torque, this decreases iron looses and...

In this paper, a generalized fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is used to optimize the fuel economy and reduce the emissions of hybrid vehicles with parallel configuration. Using the driver input, the state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage, the motor/generator speed, the current gear ratio and...
