Abstract

Existing fuzzy control methods do not perform well when applied to systems containing nonlinearities arising from unknown deadzones. We propose a novel two-layered fuzzy logic controller for controlling systems with deadzones. The two-layered control structure consists of a fuzzy logic-based pre-compensator followed by a conventional fuzzy logic controller. Our proposed controller exhibits superior transient and steady-state performance compared to conventional fuzzy controllers. We illustrate the effectiveness of our scheme using computer simulation examples.
