Self-Learning Fuzzy Sliding-Mode Control for a Water Bath Temperature Control System

Abstract

A self-learning fuzzy sliding-mode controller (SLFSMC) is proposed to control the temperature of a water bath. The SLFSMC system automatically tunes the rule bases using a rule modifier and the updating value of each rule is based on the fuzzy firing weight. In addition, this controller can be used for on-line learning in real-time control systems. In order to illustrate the performance of the proposed control method, it is compared with a proportional derivative-type fuzzy control (PDFC) and a gaintuning fuzzy control (GTFC). These three algorithms are applied to a water bath temperature control and are simulated under the same conditions. The effect of load disturbance, the response to control, the tracking performance, and suitable sampling time are determined for each system. The simulation results show that the SLFSMC has superior characteristics, is more simple to use and has a fast response, so the SLFSMC performs better than the PDFC and GTFC.

New approach of sliding mode control for nonlinear uncertain pneumatic artificial muscle manipulator enhanced with adaptive fuzzy estimator

“…The estimated dynamics of the serial PAM robot arep 1 ¼ 1:5 andp 2 ¼ 3. We pick l in equation (8) as the same bandwidth as in equation (20). It first simply picks A ¼ diag[l, 1] in equation (10).…”

“…The fuzzy control method is widely used in temperature control systems [20], because it can imitate humans’ judgment. E denotes the temperature error, which is the error between the set value and the measured temperature value.…”

A recurrent emotional CMAC neural network controller for vision-based mobile robots

“…The traditional control methods work only when the detailed system parameters and accurate position information of the tracking objects are available [12]. This has to be achieved in an environment with highly nonlinear dynamics and uncertain disturbances, where the input chattering of the control systems caused by the disturbances seriously affects the performance and even stability of the control systems [13,14,15]. Therefore, it is important to develop a system with high tracking performance to support the vision-based mobile robots, which are currently facing two main challenges as discussed below.…”
