A systematic method for design of multivariable fuzzy logic controlsystems

This paper proposes a systematic method to design a multivariable fuzzy logic controller for large-scale nonlinear systems. In designing a fuzzy logic controller, the major task is to determine fuzzy rule bases, membership functions of input/output variables, and input/output scaling factors. In this work, the fuzzy rule base is generated by a rule-generated function, which is based on the negative gradient of a system performance index; the membership functions of isosceles triangle of input/output variables are fixed in the same cardinality and only the input/output scaling factors are generated from a genetic algorithm based on a fitness function. As a result, the searching space of parameters is narrowed down to a small space, the multivariable fuzzy logic controller can quickly constructed, and the fuzzy rules and the scaling factors can easily be determined. The performance of the proposed method is examined by computer simulations on a Puma 560 system and a two-inverted pendulum system     

An Automatic Building Approach To Special Takagi‐Sugeno Fuzzy Network For Unknown Plant Modeling And Stable Control

In previous studies, several stable controller design methods for plants represented by a special Takagi‐Sugeno fuzzy network (STSFN) have been proposed. In these studies, the STSFN is, however, derived directly from the mathematical function of the controlled plant. For an unknown plant, there is a problem if STSFN cannot model the plant successfully. In order to address this problem, we have derived a learning algorithm for the construction of STSFN from input‐output training data. Based upon the constructed STSFN, existing stable controller design methods can then be applied to an unknown plant. To verify this, stable fuzzy controller design by parallel distributed compensation (PDC) method is adopted. In PDC method, the precondition parts of the designed fuzzy controllers share the same fuzzy rule numbers and fuzzy sets as the STSFN. To reduce the controller rule number, the precondition part of the constructed STSFN is partitioned in a flexible way. Also, similarity measure together with merging operation between each neighboring fuzzy set are performed in each input dimension to eliminate the redundant fuzzy sets. The consequent parts in STSFN are designed by correlation measure to select only the significant input terms to participate in each rule's consequence and reduce the network parameters. Simulation results in the cart‐pole balancing system have shown that with the proposed STSFN building approach, we are able to model the controlled plant with high accuracy and, in addition, can design a stable fuzzy controller with small parameter number.

Dynamic positioning of drilling vessels with a fuzzy logic controller

A fuzzy logic controller for dynamic positioning of drilling vessels in deep water is presented. The core of the fuzzy controller is a set of fuzzy associative memory (FAM) rules that correlate each group of fuzzy control input sets to a fuzzy control output set. A FAM rule is a logical if-then-type statement based on one's sense of realism and experience or can be provided by an expert operator. The design of the fuzzy controller is very simple and does not require mathematical modelling of the complicated nonlinear system based on first principles. The fuzzy controller uses measured vessel heading, yaw rate, distance and velocity of the vessel relative to the desired position (location and heading) to generate the control outputs to bring the vessel to and maintain it in the desired position. The control outputs include the rudder angle, propeller thrust and lateral bow thrust. The effectiveness and robustness of the fuzzy controller are demonstrated through numerical time-domain simulations of the dynamic positioning of a drill ship of Mariner Class hull with use of nonlinear ship equations of motions.     

A simple design method for interval type-2 fuzzy pid controllers

In this study, a design method for single Input interval type-2 fuzzy PID controller has been developed. The most important feature of the proposed type-2 fuzzy controller is its simple structure consisting of a single input variable. The presented simple structure gives an opportunity to the designer to form the type-2 fuzzy controller output in closed form formulation for the first time in literature. This formulation cannot be achieved with present type-2 fuzzy PID controller structures which have employed the Karnik-Mendel type reduction. The closed form solution is derived in terms of the tuning parameters which are chosen as the heights of lower membership functions of the antecedent interval type-2 fuzzy sets. Elaborations are done on the derived closed form output and a simple strategy is presented for a single input type-2 fuzzy PID controller design. The presented interval type-2 fuzzy controller structure still keeps the most preferred features of the PID controller such as simplicity and easy design. We will illustrate how the extra degrees of freedom provided by the antecedent interval type-2 fuzzy sets can be used to enhance the control performance on linear and nonlinear benchmark systems by simulations. Moreover, the type-2 fuzzy controller structure has been implemented on experimental pH neutralization. The simulation and experimental results will illustrate that the proposed type-2 fuzzy controller produces superior control performance and can handle nonlinear dynamics, parameter uncertainties, noise and disturbances better in comparison with the standard PID controllers. Hence, the results and analyses of this study will give the control engineers an opportunity to draw a bridge and connect the type-2 fuzzy logic and control theory.     

Adaptive fuzzy PI controller with shifted control singletons

It is well known the fact that the design of a fuzzy control system is based on the human expert experience and control engineer knowledge regarding the controlled plant behavior. As a direct consequence, a fuzzy control system can be considered as belonging to the class of intelligent expert systems. The tuning procedure of a fuzzy controller represents a quite difficult and meticulous task, being based on prior data regarding good knowledge of the controlled plant. The complexity of the tuning procedure increases with the number of the fuzzy linguistic variables and, consequently, of the fuzzy inference rules and thus, the tuning process becomes more difficult. The paper presents a new design strategy for such expert fuzzy system, which improves their performance without increasing the number of fuzzy linguistic variables. The novelty consists in extending the classic structure of the fuzzy inference core with an intelligent module, which tunes one of the control singletons, providing a significant simplification of the design and implementation procedure. The proposed strategy implements a logical, not physical, supplementation of the linguistic terms associated to the controller output. Therefore, a fuzzy rules set with a reduced number of linguistic terms is used to implement the expert control system. This logical supplementation is based on an intelligent algorithm which performs a shifting of only one of the control singletons (the singleton associated to the SMALL_ linguistic variable), its value becoming variable, a fact that allows an accurate control and a better performance for the expert control system. The logic of this intelligent algorithm is to initially provide a high controller output, followed by a slowdown of the control signal near to the operating set point. The main advantage of the proposed expert control strategy is its simplicity: a reduced number of linguistic terms, combined with an intelligent tuning of a single parameter, can provide results as accurate as other more complex available solutions involving tuning of several parameters (well described by the technical literature). Also, a simplification of the preliminary off-line tuning procedure is performed by using a reduced set of fuzzy rules. The generality of the proposed expert control strategy allows its use for any other controlled process.     

MULTITUNING FUZZY CONTROL SYSTEMS DESIGN

A multituning fuzzy control system structure that involves two simple, but effective tuning mechanisms, is proposed: one is called fuzzy control rule tuning mechanism (FCRTM); the other is called dynamic scalar tuning mechanism (DSTM). In FCRTM, it is used to generate the necessary control rules with a center extension method. In DSTM, it contains three fuzzy IF-THEN rules for determining the appropriate scaling factors for the fuzzy control system. In this paper, a method based on the genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to simultaneously choose the appropriate parameters in FCRTM and DSTM. That is, the proposed GA-based method can automatically generate the required rule base of fuzzy controller and efficiently determine the appropriate map for building the dynamic scalars of fuzzy controller. A multiobjective fitness function is proposed to determine an appropriate parameter set such that not only the selected fuzzy control structure has fewer fuzzy rules, but also the controlled system has a good control performance. Finally, an inverted pendulum control problem is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

An ART-based fuzzy adaptive learning control network

This paper addresses the structure and an associated online learning algorithm of a feedforward multilayer neural net for realizing the basic elements and functions of a fuzzy controller. The proposed fuzzy adaptive learning control network (FALCON) can be contrasted with traditional fuzzy control systems in network structure and learning ability. An online structure/parameter learning algorithm, FALCON-ART, is proposed for constructing FALCON dynamically. It combines backpropagation for parameter learning and fuzzy ART for structure learning. FALCON-ART partitions the input state space and output control space using irregular fuzzy hyperboxes according to the data distribution. In many existing fuzzy or neural fuzzy control systems, the input and output spaces are always partitioned into “grids”. As the number of variables increases, the number of partitioned grids grows combinatorially. To avoid this problem in some complex systems, FALCON-ART partitions the I/O spaces flexibly based on data distribution. It can create and train FALCON in a highly autonomous way. In its initial form, there is no membership function, fuzzy partition, and fuzzy logic rule. They are created and begin to grow as the first training pattern arrives. Thus, the users need not give it any a priori knowledge or initial information. FALCON-ART can online partition the I/O spaces, tune membership functions, find proper fuzzy logic rules, and annihilate redundant rules dynamically upon receiving online data     

FUZZY SLIDING MODE CONTROLLER DESIGN: INDIRECT ADAPTIVE APPROACH

In this paper, using the concept of sliding mode control SMC, a fuzzy sliding mode controller FSMC, which is synthesized by linguistic control rules, is proposed. Two sets of fuzzy rule bases are utilized to represent the controlled system. The membership functions of the THEN-part, which is used to construct a suitable equivalent control of SMC, are changed according to adaptive law. In particular, only one adaptive factor is characterized to adapt the membership functions instead of several ones in conventional adaptive approaches. Under this design scheme, we not only maintain the distribution of membership functions over state space but also reduce considerably computing time. The proposed indirect adaptive FSMC is synthesized through the following stages. First, we construct the fuzzy rule bases according to the common sense of SMC to describe the model of the controlled system, and define the fuzzy sets whose membership functions are equally distributed in state space. Then, the derived adaptive law is used to adjust the membership functions of the THEN-part to approximate an equivalent control without knowing the mathematical model of the controlled system. Third, a hitting control is developed to guarantee the stability of the control system. Finally, we smooth the hitting control via proposed heuristic control rules. We apply this FSMC to controlling a nonlinear inverted pendulum system to confirm the validity of the proposed approach.     

Genetic reinforcement learning through symbiotic evolution forfuzzy controller design

An efficient genetic reinforcement learning algorithm for designing fuzzy controllers is proposed in this paper. The genetic algorithm (GA) adopted in this paper is based upon symbiotic evolution which, when applied to fuzzy controller design, complements the local mapping property of a fuzzy rule. Using this Symbiotic-Evolution-based Fuzzy Controller (SEFC) design method, the number of control trials, as well as consumed CPU time, are considerably reduced when compared to traditional GA-based fuzzy controller design methods and other types of genetic reinforcement learning schemes. Moreover, unlike traditional fuzzy controllers, which partition the input space into a grid, SEFC partitions the input space in a flexible way, thus creating fewer fuzzy rules. In SEFC, different types of fuzzy rules whose consequent parts are singletons, fuzzy sets, or linear equations (TSK-type fuzzy rules) are allowed. Further, the free parameters (e.g., centers and widths of membership functions) and fuzzy rules are all tuned automatically. For the TSK-type fuzzy rule especially, which put the proposed learning algorithm in use, only the significant input variables are selected to participate in the consequent of a rule. The proposed SEFC design method has been applied to different simulated control problems, including the cart-pole balancing system, a magnetic levitation system, and a water bath temperature control system. The proposed SEFC has been verified to be efficient and superior from these control problems, and from comparisons with some traditional GA-based fuzzy systems.     

A fuzzy neural network with fuzzy impact grades

Fuzzy rule derivation is often difficult and time-consuming, and requires expert knowledge. This creates a common bottleneck in fuzzy system design. In order to solve this problem, many fuzzy systems that automatically generate fuzzy rules from numerical data have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy neural network based on mutual subsethood (MSBFNN) and its fuzzy rule identification algorithms. In our approach, fuzzy rules are described by different fuzzy sets. For each fuzzy set representing a fuzzy rule, the universe of discourse is defined as the summation of weighted membership grades of input linguistic terms that associate with the given fuzzy rule. In this manner, MSBFNN fully considers the contribution of input variables to the joint firing strength of fuzzy rules. Afterwards, the proposed fuzzy neural network quantifies the impacts of fuzzy rules on the consequent parts by fuzzy connections based on mutual subsethood. Furthermore, to enhance the knowledge representation and interpretation of the rules, a linear transformation from consequent parts to output is incorporated into MSBFNN so that higher accuracy can be achieved. In the parameter identification phase, the backpropagation algorithm is employed, and proper linear transformation is also determined dynamically. To demonstrate the capability of the MSBFNN, simulations in different areas including classification, regression and time series prediction are conducted. The proposed MSBFNN shows encouraging performance when benchmarked against other models.     

Design of adaptive fuzzy logic controller based on linguistic-hedgeconcepts and genetic algorithms

In this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy logic controller, called linguistic hedge fuzzy logic controller, to simplify the membership function constructions and the rule developments. The design methodology of linguistic hedge fuzzy logic controller is a hybrid model based on the concepts of the linguistic hedges and the genetic algorithms. The linguistic hedge operators are used to adjust the shape of the system membership functions dynamically, and ran speed up the control result to fit the system demand. The genetic algorithms are adopted to search the optimal linguistic hedge combination in the linguistic hedge module, According to the proposed methodology, the linguistic hedge fuzzy logic controller has the following advantages: 1) it needs only the simple-shape membership functions rather than the carefully designed ones for characterizing the related variables; 2) it is sufficient to adopt a fewer number of rules for inference; 3) the rules are developed intuitionally without heavily depending on the endeavor of experts; 4) the linguistic hedge module associated with the genetic algorithm enables it to be adaptive; 5) it performs better than the conventional fuzzy logic controllers do; and 6) it can be realized with low design complexity and small hardware overhead. Furthermore, the proposed approach has been applied to design three well-known nonlinear systems. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this design.     

Un-symmetric input temperature control by using fuzzy sliding mode controller with gain auto-tuning

In order to obtain the desired product quality, temperature is an important control parameter in chemical and semiconductor manufacturing processes. Generally, the temperature control system has nonlinear time-varying, slow response speed, time-delay and un-symmetric control input dynamic characteristics. It is difficult to accurately establish the dynamic model for designing a general purpose temperature controller to achieve good control performance. Here a model-free fuzzy sliding mode control strategy is employed to design an intelligent temperature controller with gain-scheduling scheme or gain auto-tuning algorithm for a closed chamber with heater one-way input only. The concept of gain scheduling is employed to adjust the mapping ranges of the input and output fuzzy membership functions during the control process for improving the transient and steady-state control performances. The experimental results show that the steady state error of the step input response is always less than 0.2°C without overshoot by using this intelligent control schemes. It is suitable for industrial temperature control systems.     

Adaptive fuzzy PIMD controller for systems with uncertain deadzones

In this paper, a new adaptive fuzzy Proportional-Integral (of a modified error function)-Derivative (PIMD) controller is designed for systems with uncertain deadzones. Instead of using the summation of the system output error to be one of the input variables, the fuzzy mechanism in PIMD controller takes the summation of a proposed error function as one essential part of the output fuzzy singleton. Together, with the linearly combined error and difference of the error as the only input variables, the complexity reduced fuzzy mechanism of the fuzzy PIMD controller is constructed. The adaptation processes are provided to determine the parameters of the PIMD controller to reduce the overshoot and to accelerate the system with deadzone to the desired output. The fuzzy PIMD controller is indicated to be flexible to the variations of deadzone parameters. Also, the proposed fuzzy PIMD controller is flexible to the change of deadzone model to contain jump discontinuity points. Moreover, the fuzzy PIMD controller can perform well for the system with time-varying deadzone model. Simulation results are included to indicate the effectiveness of the adaptive fuzzy PIMD controller.     

Development of a self-tuning fuzzy logic controller for intelligent control of elevator systems

The search for an intelligent group controller that can satisfy multi-criteria requirements of an elevator group control system has become a great challenge for researchers. This paper presents the development of an elevator group controller based on fuzzy logic framework with a self-tuning scheme. Instead of basing on predicted traffic patterns to initiate modifications in the control outputs produced, the proposed group controller utilizes average waiting time (AWT) as the measured performance criterion used to adjust the membership functions and to select appropriate fuzzy rule sets, for the generation of suitable control actions. By comparing the measured performance results with the ones desired, better adjustment of the controller can be achieved to further improve the controller's performance. Computer simulation was carried out for three different cases in three traffic peaks. The results showed considerable overall improvements in the performance criteria evaluated as compared to the performance of conventional group controllers.     

Desired Compensation Adaptive Robust Control of Electrical-optical Gyro-stabilized Platform with Continuous Friction Compensation Using Modified LuGre Model

Continuous friction compensation along with other modeling uncertainties is concerned in this paper, to result in a continuous control input, which is more suitable for controller implementation. To accomplish this control task, a novel continuously differentiable nonlinear friction model is synthesized by modifying the traditional piecewise continuous LuGre model, then a desired compensation version of the adaptive robust controller is proposed for precise tracking control of electrical-optical gyro-stabilized platform systems. As a result, the adaptive compensation and the regressor in the proposed controller will depend on the desired trajectory and on-line parameter estimates only. Hence, the effect of measurement noise can be reduced and then high control performance can be expected. Furthermore, the proposed controller theoretically guarantees an asymptotic output tracking performance even in the presence of modeling uncertainties. Extensively comparative experimental results are obtained to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

For this purpose the following objectives are preferred and reached: 1) an introduction of a new adaptive shape of fuzzy sets and a new adaptive distribution of input fuzzy sets, 2) a determination of an analytic activation function for activation of output fuzzy sets, instead of using of min-max operators, and 3) a definition of a new analytic function that determines the positions of centers of output fuzzy sets in each mapping process, instead of definition of the rule base. A real capability of the proposed FLC synthesis procedures is presented by synthesis of FLC of robot of RRTR-structure.
