Predictive Intelligent Fuzzy Control for Cooperative Motion of Two Nonholonomic Wheeled Cars
2007
In this paper a problem of intelligent cooperative motion control of two wheeled nonholonomic cars (target and follower) is considered. Once a target car converges to a fixed state (position and orientation), a follower car coming from different position and orientation, converges to the state above, without excessive delay between the known arrival time of the target car and the arrival time of the follower. In this sense we present a new predictive fuzzy control system. A Kalman's filter and an odometric model are used to predict the future position and orientation of the target car. The prediction above is employed to plane a circular nonholonomic reference motion for the follower car. A…
Non-fragile fuzzy control design for nonlinear time-delay systems
2013
In this paper, a non-fragile fuzzy control design is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems with mixed discrete and distributed time delays. The Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy set approach is applied to the modelling of the nonlinear dynamics, and a T-S fuzzy model is constructed, which can represent the nonlinear system. Then, based on the fuzzy linear model, a fuzzy linear controller is developed to stabilize the nonlinear system. The control law is obtained to ensure stochastically exponentially stability in the mean square. The sufficient conditions for the existence of such a control are proposed in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities.
Stabilization for a class of nonlinear networked control systems via polynomial fuzzy model approach
2014
This article is concerned with the stabilization problem for nonlinear networked control systems which are represented by polynomial fuzzy models. Two communication features including signal transmission delays and data missing are taken into account in a network environment. To solve the network-induced communication problems, a novel sampled-data fuzzy controller is designed to guarantee that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. The stability and stabilization conditions are presented in terms of sum of squares SOS, which can be numerically solved via SOSTOOLS. Finally, a simulation example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. © 2014 Wiley Periodi…
Robust finite-time fuzzy H∞ control for uncertain time-delay systems with stochastic jumps
2014
Abstract This paper investigates the problem of robust finite-time H ∞ control for a class of uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump nonlinear systems with time-delays represented by Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) model. Initially, the concepts of stochastic finite-time boundedness and stochastic finite-time H ∞ stabilization are presented. Then, by using stochastic Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional approach, sufficient conditions are derived such that the resulting close-loop system is stochastically finite-time bounded and satisfies a prescribed H ∞ disturbance attenuation level in a given finite-time interval. Furthermore, sufficient criteria on stochastic finite-time H ∞ stabilization using a fuzzy s…
Observer-based finite-time control for discrete fuzzy jump nonlinear systems with time delays
2013
This paper investigates the problem of observer-based finite-time H∞ control for a family of discrete jump nonlinear systems with time delays represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model. The main contribution of this paper is to design an observer-based finite-time H∞ controller such that the resulting closed-loop system is stochastic finite-time bounded and satisfies a prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation level over the given finite-time interval. Sufficient criteria on stochastic finite-time H∞ stabilization via observer-based fuzzy state feedback are provided for the solvability of the problem, which can be tackled by a feasibility problem in terms of linear matrix inequalities. A simulati…
Finite-time stabilization for discrete fuzzy jump nonlinear systems with time delays
2013
This paper is concerned with the problem of finite-time H∞ control for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump nonlinear systems with time delays represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model. First, by using fuzzy stochastic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, sufficient conditions are derived such that the resulting close-loop system is stochastic finite-time bounded and satisfies a prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation level in a given finite-time interval. Second, sufficient criteria on stochastic finite-time H∞ stabilization via fuzzy state feedback are provided, and the fuzzy state feedback controller is designed by solving an optimization problem in terms of linear matrix inequalitie…
A Novel Technique for Fingerprint Classification based on Fuzzy C-Means and Naive Bayes Classifier
2014
Fingerprint classification is a key issue in automatic fingerprint identification systems. One of the main goals is to reduce the item search time within the fingerprint database without affecting the accuracy rate. In this paper, a novel technique, based on topological information, for efficient fingerprint classification is described. The proposed system is composed of two independent modules: the former module, based on Fuzzy C-Means, extracts the best set of training images, the latter module, based on Fuzzy C-Means and Naive Bayes classifier, assigns a class to each processed fingerprint using only directional image information. The proposed approach does not require any image enhancem…
Fuzzy modelling of HEART methodology: application in safety analyses of accidental exposure in irradiation plants
2009
The present paper refers to the obtained results by using Fuzzy Fault Tree analyses of accidental scenarios which entail the potential exposure of operators working in irradiation industrial plants. For these analyses the HEART methodology, a first generation of the Human Reliability Analysis method, has been employed to evaluate the probability of human erroneous actions. This technique has been modified by us on the basis of fuzzy set concept to more directly take into account the uncertainties of the so called error-promoting factors, on which the method is grounded. The results allow also to provide some recommendations on procedures and safety equipments to reduce the radiological expo…
Real-time control strategy for nitrogen removal via nitrite in a SHARON reactor using pH and ORP sensors
2012
This paper presents a real-time control strategy for nitrogen removal via nitrite in a continuous flow SHARON reactor using on-line available and industrially feasible sensors (pH and ORP). The developed control strategy optimizes the length of aerobic and anoxic phases as well as the external carbon source addition. This strategy, implemented in a laboratory-scale SHARON reactor fed with synthetic wastewater and real dewatering sludge supernatant, was able to cope with step variations in influent flow rate and ammonium concentration. The main advantages of this control strategy over the traditional operation mode with fixed carbon source dosification and fixed length cycle operation were: …
