In this study, we introduce the design methodology of an optimized type-2 fuzzy cascade controller with the aid of hierarchical fair competition-based genetic algorithm(HFCGA) for ball & beam system. The ball & beam system consists of servo motor, beam and ball, and remains mutually connected in line in itself. The ball & beam system determines the position of ball through the control of a servo motor. Consequently the displacement change of the position of the moving ball and its ensuing change of the angle of the beam results in the change of the position angle of a servo motor. The type-2 fuzzy cascade controller scheme consists of the outer controller and the inner controller as two cascaded fuzzy controllers. In type-2 fuzzy logic controller(FLC) as the expanded type of type-1 fuzzy logic controller(FLC), we can effectively improve the control characteristic by using the footprint of uncertainty(FOU) of membership function. The control parameters(scaling factors) of each fuzzy controller using HFCGA which is a kind of parallel genetic algorithms(PGAs). HFCGA helps alleviate the premature convergence being generated in conventional genetic algorithms(GAs). We estimated controller characteristic parameters of optimized type-2 fuzzy cascade controller applied ball & beam system such as maximum overshoot, delay time, rise time, settling time and steady-state error. For a detailed comparative analysis from the viewpoint of the performance results and the design methodology, the proposed method for the ball & beam system which is realized by the fuzzy cascade controller based on HFCGA, is presented in comparison with the conventional PD cascade controller based on serial genetic algorithms.

The mission life of a satellite determines the amount of fuel required on-board, while the total mass requirement limits the fuel to be loaded. Hence, for the design of thruster control loop, not only the satellite pointing accuracy but the saving of fuel is to be considered. In this paper, a two-step fuzzy controller is proposed for the thruster control loop to save fuel consumption. This approach combines requirements for pointing control accuracy with minimum fuel consumption into a fuzzy controller design. To demonstrate this approach, we have designed a fuzzy controller for the Sun Pointing Mode of KOMPSAT-1. The performance of this fuzzy controller design is compared with that of PD controller used for KOMPSAT-1.

PD(Partial discharges) are small electrical sparks that occur within the electric insulation of cables, transformers and windings on motors. PD analysis is a proactive diagnostic approach that uses PD measurements to evaluate the integrity of this equipment. Recently, several diagnostic algorithms for classifying the type of PD and locating the defect position have been developed. In this work, a new PD recognition system is proposed, which utilizes approximate coefficients of wavelet transform as a feature vector, furthermore, introduces bank of Elman networks to recognize the various PD phenomena. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, it is applied to the simulated PD data.

This paper presents optimization of a pneumatic control system whose design parameters have been optimized so that the desired dynamic characteristics of cylinder position was obtained. The pneumatic system is used as transferring and stacking equipment for solid freeform fabrication system which has been widely used in design verification applications. The pneumatic system mainly consists of pneumatic control valves and cylinders. The system was modeled by using several principles for pneumatic components. The system was optimized to obtain dynamic performance with enough damping to reduce cylinder vibration. A fuzzy controller has been applied to fulfill the dynamic performance requirements of the pneumatic system. The simulation results show that the fuzzy controller is more effective than a PD controller.

This paper dealt with the position control of a flexible miniature finger driven by piezoelectric bimorph cells, cemented on both side of the finger. Bending moments generated by cells drives the finger, and end-point of the finger is controlled, so as to move in synchrony with fluctation of target and maintain a constant distance between target surface and inger's tip. The voltage applied for the cell is controlled by tip displacement error and error rate. We proposed a PD-Fuzzy controller under conception of PD control strategy. It brought and advantage which reduce number of rules than that of same type conventional fuzzy system and more correct redponse than PID control results.

We present a fuzzy model for a robot manipulator and use the model to decide the PD gains of a stiffness controller. Force control applications are extremely difficult to accomplish with such a stiffness robot because robot itself, unknown environment. So we identify a fuzzy model by using Hough transform. We present a method of design of the PD gains of the stiffness controller. We aim at controlling the end-effecor force in the face of uncertainty on the surface stillness. simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Conventional linear control fails to provide precise positioning of a control object under the influence of friction, deadzone, saturation, etc. This paper proposes a high-precision control scheme for a precise point-to-point positioning system, called an X-Y table, even under the same influences above. The proposed scheme is composed of a fuzzy precompensator and a PD controller. The fuzzy precompensator is employed to improve the performance of the PD controller. Its fuzzy rules are obtained from experimental evolutionary programming (EP), not from an expert. The effectiveness of the scheme is demonstrated by experiments on the X-Y table. with a positioning error of within 1$\mu\textrm{m}$.

Fuzzy Logic Control immitating human decision making process is a novel control strategy based on expert's experience and knowledge and many process designers are developing its applications. But it is difficult to obtain a set of rules from human operator. And there is a limitation on adjusting to environmental changes. In this paper, we proposed adaptive fuzzy algorithm to overcome these difficulties using weights added to the rules. To verify the validity of this control strategy, we have implemented this algorithm for a DC servo motor with PD-type fuzzy controller.
