Abstract

Three-phase induction motors are widely used in the industrial field due to their low cost and robustness; therefore, it is essential to continuously develop new proposals that improve their behavior and response in applications where speed control is required. This paper proposes the development of an intelligent controller programmed in a PLC and interconnected with a three-phase induction motor through a VFD. The novel intelligent controller bases its operation on the LAMDA algorithm, which acts as a decision-making system based on the state of the error with respect to the speed reference and its derivative, obtaining a closed-loop controller. In addition, the VFD receives commands from the PLC to operate the motor at a constant voltage-frequency ratio in which flux remains constant. The proposed controller has been validated in two study cases: i) reference changes and ii) rejection of disturbances. The results obtained are promising and show a good performance of the LAMDA controller when compared qualitatively and quantitatively with the controller most commonly used in industrial systems, such as PID, and controllers with similar characteristics, such as fuzzy, based on Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno inference. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-01 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This paper presents a novel soft computing-based machine learning technique designed to enhance the trajectory tracking capabilities of mobile robots through the application of neural networks. The goal of this approach is to enhance the accuracy and overall performance of trajectory tracking without the need for manual gain recalibration, which is a tedious and time-consuming task for the designer when setting up the robot. This improvement is achieved by creating a kinematic controller based on neural networks, which are constructed using the kinematic model of the robot. In the initial phase, the controller requires gains defined by the designer. Subsequently, during the application phase, the backpropagation algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the gains of the neural network, aiming to minimize the closed-loop error. One of the key innovations introduced by this controller is the potential for automatic online gain tuning, thereby eliminating the need for a pre-learning phase, typically required by traditional neural controllers. To validate the effectiveness of this approach, the results are systematically analyzed and compared against those obtained using a conventional kinematic controller. Performance metrics reveal the improved precision in trajectory tracking achieved by the controller, with reduced effort, highlighting the performance enhancements in different trajectories. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-06-01 Full Text: PDF
