This paper proposes a self tuning fuzzy inference method by the genetic algorithm in the fuzzy-sliding mode control for a robot. Using this method, the number of inference rules and the shape of membership functions are optimized without an expert in robotics. The fuzzy outputs of the consequent part are updated by the gradient descent method. And, it is guaranteed that he selected solution become the global optimal solution by optimizing the Akaikes information criterion expressing the quality of the inference rules. The trajectory tracking simulation and experiment of the polishing robot show that the optimal fuzzy inference rules are automatically selected by the genetic algorithm and the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller provides reliable tracking performance during the polishing process.

A self-tuning FPID(Fuzzy Proportional Intergral Derivative) controller fo load frequency control of 2-area power systemis proposed in this paper. The paramters of the proposed self-tuning FPID controller are self-tuned by the proposed fuzzy inference technique. Therefore in this paper the fuzzy inference technique of PID gains using PSGM(Product Sum Gravity Method) is presented and is applied to the load frequency control of 2-area power system. The computer simulation results show that the proposed controller give better more control characteristics than convention-al PID, FLC under load changes.

This paper proposes a fuzzy-sliding mode control which is designed by a self tuning fuzzy inference method based on a genetic algorithm. Using the method, the number of inference rules and the shape of the membership functions of the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode control are optimized without the aid of an expert in robotics. The fuzzy outputs of the consequent part are updated by the gradient descent method. It is further guaranteed that the selected solution becomes the global optimal solution by optimizing Akaikes information criterion expressing the quality of the inference rules. In order to evaluate the learning performance of the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode control based on a genetic algorithm, a trajectory tracking simulation of the polishing robot is carried out. Simulation results show that the optimal fuzzy inference rules are automatically selected by the genetic algorithm and the trajectory control result is similar to the result of the fuzzy-sliding mode control which is selected through trial error by an expert. Therefore, a designer who does not have expert knowledge of robot systems can design the fuzzy-sliding mode controller using the proposed self tuning fuzzy inference method based on the genetic algorithm.

A PID parameter tuning method was presented by the fuzzy singleton inference, based on step response-shaping of plant and experience knowledge of expert. The parameter-tuning has tow levels. The higher level determines modified coefficients for the controller based on operator's tuning know-how for characteristics of plant which can not be modeled. The lower level determines specified coefficients based on characteristics of response by Ziegler-Nickel's bounded sensitivity method. The last level parameters tuning of a PID controller is adjusted which the modified and specified coefficients makes adjustment rule, and is adjusted the proper value to each parameters by fuzzy singleton inference. Moreover, proposed the tuning method can reflex exporter knowledge and operator's tuning know-how and fuzzy singleton inference is rapidly operated.

This paper deals with design method of learning fuzzy controller for control of an unknown nonlinear plant using the self-tuning algorithm of fuzzy inference rules. In this method the fuzzy identification model obtained that the joined identification model of nonlinear part and linear identification model of linear part by fuzzy inference systems.

A the end, designed learning fuzzy controller of fuzzy identification model have learning structure to model reference adaptive system. The simulation results show that th suggested identification and learning control schemes are practically feasible and effective.

In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive controller is proposed for the process with large delay time and unmodelled dynamics. The fuzzy adaptive controller consists of self tuning controller and fuzzy tuning part. The self tuning controller is designed with the continuous time GMV (generalized minimum variance) using emulator and weighted least square method. It is realized by the hybrid method. The controller has robust characteristics by adapting the inference rule in design parameters. The inference processing is tuned according to the operating point of the process having the nonlinear characteristics considering the practical application. We review the characteristics of the fuzzy adaptive controller through the simulation. The controller is applied to practical electric furnace. As a result, the fuzzy adaptive controller shows the better characteristics than the simple numeric self tuning controller and the PI controller.

This paper presents a control approach for designing a self tuning fuzzy controller for a synchronous generator excitation and SVC system. A combination of thyristor-controlled reactors and fixed capacitors (TCR-FC) type SVC is recognized as having the most flexible control and high speed response, which has been widely utilized in power systems, is considered and designed to improve the response of a synchronous generator, as well as controlling the system voltage. The proposed parameter self tuning algorithm of fuzzy controller is based on the steepest decent method using two direction vectors which make error between inference values of fuzzy controller and output values of the specially selected PSS reduce steepestly. Using input-output data pair obtained from PSS, the parameters in antecedent part and in consequent part of fuzzy inference rules are learned and tuned automatically using the proposed steepest decent method. The related simulation results show that the proposed fuzzy controller is more powerful than the conventional ones.

In constructing fuzzy control systems. there are many parameters such as rule base. membership functions. inference m method. defuzzification. and I/O scaling factors. To control the system in properly using fuzzy logic. we have to consider t the correlation with those parameters. This paper deals with self-tuning of fuzzy control systems. The fuzzy controller h has parameters that are input and output scaling factors to effect control output. And we propose the looklongleftarrowup table b based self-tuning fuzy controller. We propose the PMTM(Plus-Minus Tuning Method) for self tuning method, self-tuning the initial look-up table to the appropriate table by adding and subtracting the values.

More fuzzy hardware are expected to be utilized in the future to construct fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs). It is hard to find an existing fuzzy hardware which is adopting advanced functions such as self-tuning algorithm in addition to the conventional inference calculation. That is mainly because conventional self-tuning algorithms designed to implement with some hardware circuits is required for fuzzy hardwares to have self-tuning capability. As a first step toward the feature, a novel self-tuning algorithm is proposed in this paper. Based on the search method, the main idea of the proposed algorithm is to detemine valid ranges of input variables of an FLC in order to maximize performance indices fo the control system. The performance indices are so ismple as to be realized by hardware circuit. in dadditon to the conventional scaling-factor adjustment, the algorithm adjusts offset values as well, which, in effect, modifies fuzzy rules of the FLC. To justify the performance of the proposed algorithm, a simulation study is executed.
