Abstract

In this study, a method for optimizing membership function tuning for fuzzy control of robotic manipulators using PID-driven data techniques is presented. Traditional approaches for designing membership functions in fuzzy control systems often rely on the experience and knowledge of the system designer, which can lead to suboptimal performance. By utilizing data collected from a PID control system, the proposed method aims to enhance the precision and controllability of robotic manipulators through improved fuzzy logic control. A Mamdani-type fuzzy logic controller was developed and its performance was simulated in Simulink, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed optimization technique. The results indicate that the method can outperform conventional P control systems in terms of overshoot reduction while maintaining comparable transient response specifications. This research highlights the potential of the PID-driven data-based approach for optimizing membership function tuning in fuzzy control systems and offers valuable insights for the development and evaluation of fuzzy logic control in robotic manipulators. Future work may focus on further optimization of the tuning process, evaluation of system robustness under various operating conditions, and exploring the integration of other artificial intelligence techniques for improved control performance.

Abstract

Balancing systems, exemplified by electric wheelchairs, require accurate and effective functioning to maintain equilibrium across many situations. This research looks at how well a standard linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and its genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized version keep an electric wheelchair stable when it stands on its own. The aim of the optimization was to improve energy economy, robustness, and responsiveness through the refinement of control settings. Simulations were performed under two scenarios: stabilizing the system from a tilt and recovering from an external force. Both controllers stabilized the system; however, the GA-optimized LQR demonstrated considerable improvements in control efficiency, decreased stabilization time, and enhanced response fluidity. It exhibited improved resilience to external disturbances, as indicated by a decrease in oscillations and an increase in fluid displacement recovery. These enhancements highlight the LQR's versatility, resilience, and appropriateness for real-world applications, including Segways, balancing robots, and patient wheelchairs. This study highlights the ability of evolutionary algorithms to enhance the effectiveness of traditional control systems in dynamic and unpredictable settings.

Abstract

This research examines a hybrid fuzzy-expert system for the control of robotic manipulators, integrating the flexibility of fuzzy logic with the analytical decision-making capabilities of expert systems. The hybrid system switches dynamically between triangle membership functions, which facilitate smooth transitions, and trapezoidal membership functions, which efficiently manage sudden step changes. This adaptive technique mitigates the shortcomings of independent fuzzy logic controllers, particularly their inconsistency across varied setpoints. Simulation outcomes demonstrate substantial decreases in overshoot and settling time, as well as enhanced adaptability and flexibility in dynamic settings. A comparison test shows that the hybrid system is better than separate triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy controllers because it chooses the best control strategy based on the setpoint attributes in real time. Although there are occasional compromises in accuracy (IAE and RMSE), the hybrid controller provides balanced performance appropriate for various robotic applications. The results confirm its viability as a dependable option for industrial and medical robots, particularly in applications necessitating precision control and adaptability.

Abstract

Robotic manipulators are essential in industrial and medical applications, requiring precise control to improve efficiency and reduce errors. This research looks at how well fuzzy logic controllers using Gaussian, generalized bell, triangular, and trapezoidal membership functions can handle step and smooth inputs for a robot system that is meant to move materials. Critical metrics like steady-state values, overshoot, rise time, integral absolute error (IAE), and root mean square error (RMSE) were tested using five different methods. The results showed that both the Gaussian and extended bell functions found a good balance between being stable and being responsive. This made them useful for situations with moderate to high input levels. While triangular functions displayed enhanced responsiveness, they also revealed heightened overshoot. In contrast, trapezoidal functions demonstrated significant stability at high saturation levels, although they had challenges in attaining smooth transitions. These findings highlight the necessity of choosing membership functions according to particular application needs. This study investigates the utilization of hybrid methodologies and adaptive optimization strategies to improve fuzzy control systems. These concepts offer compelling approaches to improve accuracy and resilience in dynamic robotic settings.

Abstract

This study compares two PID controller tuning methods, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Cohen-Coon, employed for speed control of an omnidirectional Mecanum-wheel electric wheelchair. Mecanum wheels improve maneuverability on powered mobility platforms; yet, controlling these systems is difficult due to nonlinearities and directional coupling effects. This work investigates the effectiveness of PSO as a sophisticated alternative to traditional PID tuning methods, effectively tackling this issue. This study evaluates P, PI, PD, and PID controllers tuned by both Cohen-Coon and PSO methods, applied to a DC motor system simulating real-world wheelchair actuation. Step response-based system identification models the motor using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulations of a 12V DC motor are examined using controlled-step time-domain inputs. Every controller configuration is subjected to evaluation for overshoot, root mean square error (RMSE), rise time, and settling time. The PSO-tuned PID controller exhibited enhanced performance, characterized by a rise time of 2.06 s, a settling time of 2.37 s, an overshoot of 0.78%, and an RMSE of 4.59, far surpassing the Cohen-Coon variant, which had a settling time of 6.12 s and an overshoot of 20.14%. The results indicate that PSO enhances both transient and steady-state performance in intricate and disturbance-sensitive systems, including Mecanum wheelchairs. Despite PSO's increased computing complexity during offline tuning and the necessity for meticulous parameter selection, its advantages can be precomputed and effectively utilized in real-time embedded systems. This study highlights the importance of safety, dependability, and responsiveness, illustrating that PSO is a scalable and efficient method for improving assistive robotic systems.

Abstract

Robotic manipulators require control systems that are both responsive and precise in order to ensure accurate tracking and stability in dynamic environments. Conventional fuzzy logic controllers that are based on proportional integral derivative (PID) methods frequently encounter difficulties in achieving fast response, minimal steady-state error, and low overshoot. This study presents a comparative evaluation of a PID-driven data-based fuzzy logic controller and a particle swarm optimization (PSO) tuned fuzzy logic controller for a three-axis robotic manipulator implemented in Simulink. Both controllers used Gaussian membership functions within a Mamdani inference structure. The PSO algorithm was employed to optimize fuzzy input-scaling gains using a composite performance index that incorporated absolute error, control effort, overshoot penalty, and steady-state error. The simulation results indicate that the PSO-tuned controller consistently outperformed the benchmark. On the R-axis, it shortened rise and settling times and reduced overshoot, mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE). On the T-axis, response speed and error values improved, although overshoot increased, indicating a trade-off between speed and stability. On the Z-axis, the PSO controller achieved a substantial decrease in overshoot, lower error metrics, and faster stabilization. Overall, the PSO-based tuning process preserved steady-state stability while improving transient performance on all axes. These findings show that metaheuristic optimization is an effective and practical method for enhancing fuzzy logic controllers in robotic manipulators. This approach has potential applications in precision manufacturing, service automation, and surgical robotics.
