Abstract

This study investigates methods to improve steering control for electric ambulance golf carts by conducting a comparative analysis of fuzzy logic controllers. The research assesses four control systems, PD controller, fuzzy PD controller, fuzzy PD+I controller, and PBC and PD+I type fuzzy logic controller, to determine their effectiveness in enhancing steering control. Simulink simulations are employed to evaluate the performance of these controllers under various conditions. Results indicate that the PBC and PD+I type fuzzy logic controller demonstrates superior performance, showing significant reductions in both rise time and settling time with minimal overshoot compared to other controllers. The findings underscore the potential of fuzzy logic controllers in enhancing steering control for electric vehicles. Future research should explore alternative control strategies and assess controller robustness under diverse operating conditions.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to improve the precision of factory-locked MG996R servo motors, which are frequently employed in biomedical and robotic applications. These motors are characterized by the absence of inherent feedback channels and adjustable internal settings. The proposed technique proposes a non-invasive control strategy that utilizes externally obtained feedback to enable closed-loop control without requiring any modifications to the interior circuitry. The scientific contribution consists of the development of an outer-loop PID control framework that has been optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and enhanced with feedforward compensation. By utilizing the inherent potentiometer, this method ensures the preservation of hardware integrity and enables real-time angle feedback. A model fit of 96.94% was achieved by establishing a second-order discrete-time model using MATLAB's System Identification Toolbox. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was employed to optimize PID improvements offline by minimizing the Integral of Squared Error (ISE). In both experimental and simulated environments, the controller's effectiveness was assessed using 2 rad/s sine wave inputs and a 10° step. The PSO-PID with feedforward controller achieved optimal results, achieving an RMSE of 0.5313° and an MAE of 0.1630° in simulations, as well as an MAE of 0.8497° in hardware step response. The requirement for gain scaling in embedded systems was underscored by the instability of the standalone PSO-PID controller. This method offers a pragmatic, scalable solution for applications such as assistive robotics, prosthetic joints, and surgical instruments. In order to achieve sub-degree precision in safety-critical environments, future endeavors will entail the implementation of adaptive gain tuning and enhanced resolution sensing.
