In this paper, a motion control algorithm is developed using a fuzzy control and the optimization of performance function, which makes a robot arm avoid an unexpected obstacle when the end-effector of the robot arm is moving to the goal position. During talc motion, if there exists no obstacle, the end-effector of the robot arm moves along the predefined path. But if these exists an obstacle and close to talc robot arm, the fuzzy motion controller is activated to adjust the path of the end-effector of the robot arm. Then, the robot arm takes the optimal posture far collision avoidance with the obstacle. To show the feasibility of the developed algorithm, numerical simulations are carried out with changing both the positions and sites of obstacles. It was concluded that the proposed algorithm gives a good performance for obstacle avoidance.

In this paper, we proposed a method that optimal values of fuzzy control rule base and quantization of membership function are searched by genetic algorithm. Proposed method searched the optimal values of membership function and control rules using genetic algorithm by off-line. Then fuzzy controller operates using these values by on-line. Proposed fuzzy control system is optimized the control rule base and membership function by genetic algorithm without expert's knowledge. We investigated proposed method through simulation and experiment using DC motor and one link manipulator, and confirmed the following usefulness.

This paper proposes a sliding mode controller with fuzzy adaptive perturbation compensator(FAPC) to get a good control performance and reduce the chatter, The proposed algorithm can reduce the chattering because the proposed fuzzy adaptive perturbation compensator compensates the perturbation terms. The compensator computes the control input for compensating unmodeled dynamic terms and disturbance by using the observer-based fuzzy adaptive network(FAN) The weighting parameters of the compensate. are updated by on-line adaptive scheme in order to minimize the estimation error and the estimation velocity error of each actuator. Therefore, the combination of sliding mode control and fuzzy adaptive network gives the robust and intelligent routine to get a good control performance. To evaluate the control performance of the proposed approach, tracking control is experimentally carried out for the hydraulic motion platform which consists of a 6-DOF parallel manipulator.

Since L.A. Zadeh introduced the theory of fuzzy sets in 1965, E.H. Mamdani applied the theory to the steam engine control in 1974. Since then, scientists have shown a great deal of interests in its application to practical problems and the possibility of the application of the theory a more complicate system has been increasing greatly. In the fuzzy control, the qualitative knowledge and intuition that the operators of a system has acquired through their experience can be logically described by the Linguistic Control Rule(LCR). The algorithm of th control is made of the LCR, and th control of an object is performed by processing this algorithm implementing a computer. in this thesis, the fuzzy controller of the ship's steering system is devided into two systems, namely FC1 and FC2, according to their control function. FC1 is for the course keeping steering, wheress FC2 is for the altering of s ship's course. The characteristics of the control system were investigated through the digital computer simulation and the results were compared with those of the conventional steering system. It was found that the fuzzy control was more efficient than the conventional auto pilot system.

This paper presents a method on applying Genetic Algorithm(GA), which is a well-known high performance optimizing algorithm, to construct the self-organizing fuzzy logic controller. Fuzzy logic controller considered in this paper utilizes Sugeno's hybrid inference method, which has an advantage of simple defuzzification process in the inference engine. Genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal parameters in the FLC. The proposed approach will be demonstrated using 2 d.o.f robot manipulator to verify its effectiveness.

Seismic response control method of the bridge structures with semi-active control device, i.e., magneto-rheological (MR) damper, is studied in this paper. Design of various kinds of clipped optimal controller and fuzzy controller are suggested as a semi-active control algorithm. For determining the control force of MR damper, clipped optimal control method adopts bi-state approach, but the fuzzy control method continuously quantifies input currents through fuzzy inference mechanism to finely modulate the damper force. To investigate the performances of the suggested control techniques, numerical simulations of a multi-span continuous bridge system subjected to various earthquakes are performed, and their performances are compared with each other. From the comparison of results, it is shown that the fuzzy control system can provide well-balanced control force between girder and pier in the view point of structural safety and stability and be quite effective in reducing both girder and pier displacements over the existing control method.

Accuracy in maneuvering target tracking using multiple models relies upon the suit-ability of each target motion model to be used. To construct multiple models, the interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm and the adaptive IMM (AIMM) algorithm require predefined sub-models and predetermined acceleration intervals, respectively, in consideration of the properties of maneuvers. To solve these problems, this paper proposes the GA-based IMM method as an intelligent tracking method for a maneuvering target. In the proposed method, the acceleration input is regarded as an additive process noise, a sub-model is represented as a fuzzy system to compute the time-varying variance of the overall process noise, and, to optimize the employed fuzzy system, the genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized. The simulation results show that the proposed method has a better tracking performance than the AIMM algorithm.

An elevator system, which is essential equipment for vertical movement of an object, as a property of building, has been driven by various expenditures and purposes. Since developing electrical control technology, control system are highly developed. The elevator system has expanded widely, but a data accuracy acquisition technique and safety predict technique for securing system safety is still at a basic level. So, objective verification for elevator confidence condition requires an absolute accuracy measurement technique. Therefore, this study is executed in order to acquire a method of depending on sense of a manager with simple numeric measurement data, and to construct a logical, analytical foresight system for more efficient elevator management system. As an artificial intelligence for diagnosis, the fuzzy inference algorithm is used for foreseeing the system in this thesis, because the fuzzy algorithm is the most useful method for resolving subjective ideas and a vague judgment of humans. The fuzzy inference algorithm is developed for each sensor signal(i.e. vibration, velocity, current).

In this Letter, we propose a comprehensive design methodology of hybri'd Fuzzy controllers (HFC). The HFC comes as a form of a convex combination of a standard PID controller and a fuzzy controller. The design procedure dwells on the use of evolutionary computing (genetic algorithm) and an auto-tuning algorithm. The tuning of the scaling factors of the HFC is an essential component of the entire optimization process. A numerical study is presented and a detailed comparative analysis is also included.
