Abstract

This paper presents the design, implementation, and comparative evaluation of a conventional PID controller and a Fuzzy-PID controller for a nonlinear Ball-on-Plate (BoP). The primary objective is to stabilize the ball at a desired position on the plate while achieving a fast transient response and robustness against disturbances. A conventional PID controller is first designed and tuned using the Ziegler–Nichols method. To improve performance under nonlinear conditions, a Fuzzy-PID controller is developed in which fuzzy logic adaptively adjusts the PID gains online. The proposed controllers are evaluated through three stages: numerical simulation in MATLAB/Simulink, real-time implementation in Python, and experimental validation on a physical hardware platform. Compared with the conventional PID controller, the Fuzzy-PID controller achieves a reduction in maximum overshoot from 0.17% to below 0.1% in simulation, a shorter settling time (approximately 4.0 s for PID versus 2.8 s for Fuzzy-PID), and a reduction in steady-state positioning error of approximately 33–36% in hardware experiments (from ~3–14 pixels to ~2–9 pixels).

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of three advanced control strategies for DC motor position control, namely Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC), Sliding Mode Control (SMC), and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). First, the mathematical model of the DC motor is derived from the electrical and mechanical dynamic equations. Based on this model, the three controllers are designed and implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and experimentally validated on a microcontroller-based platform under identical operating conditions. The comparative analysis is performed using quantitative performance indices, including settling time, overshoot, steady-state error, and control effort. Simulation and experimental results show that the SMC controller provides the best overall performance with fast convergence, high robustness, and small steady-state error, while the FLC approach achieves smoother responses with moderate transient performance. The LQR controller demonstrates rapid state regulation but produces larger transient peaks and higher control effort compared with the other methods. The results highlight the practical trade-offs among intelligent, robust, and optimal control strategies for low-cost DC motor position control applications.
