<![CDATA[This research aims to design an innovative fuzzy logic auto-tuning PD algorithm to control the temperature in a baby Incubator. The proposed Fuzzy-PD method combines fuzzy logic with PD control using the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. The Proportional and Derivative parameters are adjusted by fuzzy logic based on feedback of error values and rate of change of error. The temperature setting range used in data collection is 32-37°C. When the temperature setting is higher, the time required to reach the specified temperature setting becomes longer. The overshoot tends to be low, as the system is designed to respond to temperature changes with high precision. The temperature inside the baby Incubator can be maintained with a low steady-state error value. The adaptive fuzzy-PD system can restore the temperature inside the baby Incubator to the set temperature after a disturbance. Compared to the x device, the average error value is 0.0013%. Independent sample t-tests show no significant difference between the baby Incubator and the Incu analyzer device. It can be concluded that the combination of fuzzy logic and PD control system works well in maintaining temperature stability with low error values. The results are better than previous research focusing on designing a PD algorithm with a maximum rise time of 480 seconds. Furthermore, there is potential for further development with a fuzzy logic auto-tuning PID algorithm to achieve better results.]]>
