This paper focuses on the modeling and intelligent control of the new Eight-Rotor MAV, which is used to solve the problem of the low coefficient proportion between lift and gravity for the Quadrotor MAV. The Eight-Rotor MAV is a nonlinear plant, so that it is difficult to obtain stable control, due to uncertainties. The purpose of this paper is to propose a robust, stable attitude control strategy for the Eight-Rotor MAV, to accommodate system uncertainties, variations, and external disturbances. First, an interval type-II fuzzy neural network is employed to approximate the nonlinearity function and uncertainty functions in the dynamic model of the Eight-Rotor MAV. Then, the parameters of the interval type-II fuzzy neural network and gain of sliding mode control can be tuned on-line by adaptive laws based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach, and the Lyapunov stability theorem has been used to testify the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. The validity of the proposed control method has been verified in the Eight-Rotor MAV through real-time experiments. The experimental results show that the performance of the interval type-II fuzzy neural network based adaptive sliding mode controller could guarantee the Eight-Rotor MAV control system good performances under uncertainties, variations, and external disturbances. This controller is significantly improved, compared with the conventional adaptive sliding mode controller, and the type-I fuzzy neural network based sliding mode controller.

Traditional statistical process control (SPC) applied to discrete part industry in the form of control charts can look for and eliminate assignable causes by process monitoring. On the other hand, engineering process control (EPC) applied to the process industry in the form of feedback control can maintain the process output on the target by continual adjustment of input variable. This study presents controlling and monitoring rules adopted by variable sampling interval (VSI) to change sampling intervals in a predetermined fashion on the predicted process levels under integrated EPC and SPC systems. Twelve rules classified by EPC schemes(MMSE, constrained PI, bounded or deadband adjustment policy) and type of sampling interval combined with EWMA chart of SPC are proposed under IMA (1,1) disturbance model and zero-order (responsive) dynamic system. Properties of twelve control rules under three patterns of process change (sudden shift, drift and random shift) are evaluated and discussed through simulation and control rules for integrated VSI EPC and SPC systems are recommended.

In this paper, we consider the stability bound for uncertainty of delayed state variables in the linear discrete interval time-varying systems with time-varying delay time. The considered system has an interval time-varying system matrix for non-delayed states and is perturbed by the unstructured time-varying uncertainty in delayed states with time-varying delay time within fixed interval. Compared to the previous results which are derived for time-invariant cases and can not be extended to time-varying cases, the new stability bound in this paper is applicable to time-varying systems in which every factors are considered as time-varying variables. The proposed result has no limitation in applicable systems and is very powerful in the aspects of feasibility compared to the previous. Furthermore. the new bound needs no complex numerical algorithms such as LMI(Linear Matrix Inequality) equation or upper solution bound of Lyapunov equation. By numerical examples, it is shown that the proposed bound is able to include the many existing results in the previous literatures and has better performances in the aspects of expandability and effectiveness.

In this paper, a method of designing a controller which ensures the synchronization between the transmission and the reception ends of chaotic secure communication systems with interval time-varying delays is proposed. To increase communication security, the transmitted message is encrypted with the techniques of N-shift cipher and public key. And to reduce the conservatism of the stabilization criterion for error dynamic system obtained from the transmitter and receiver, a new Lyapunov-functional and bounding technique are proposed. Through a numerical example, the effectiveness of the proposed method is shown in the chaotic secure communication system.

In this study, we introduce the design methodology of an optimized Interval Type-2 fuzzy controller. The fixed MF design of type-1 based FLC leads to the difficulty of rule-based control design for representing the linguistically uncertain expression. In the Type-2 FLC as the expanded type of Type-1 FLC, we can effectively improve the control characteristic by using the footprint of uncertainty(FOU) of membership function. Type-2 FLC has a robust characteristic in the unknown system with unspecific noise when compared with Type-1 FLC. Through computer simulation as well as practical experiment, we compare their performance by applying both the optimized Type-1 and Type-2 fuzzy cascade controllers to ball and beam system. To evaluate each controller performance, we consider controller characteristic parameters such as maximum overshoot, delay time, rise time, settling time and steady-state error.

In practical engineering, the uncertain concept plays an important role in the control problems of the vibration structures. In this paper, based on matrix perturbation theory and interval finite element method, the closed-loop vibration control system with uncertain parameters is discussed. A new method is presented to develop an algorithm to estimate the upper and lower bounds of the real parts and imaginary parts of the complex eigenvalues of vibration control systems. The results are derived in terms of physical parameters. The present method is implemented for a vibration control system of the frame structure. To show the validity and effectiveness, we compare the numerical results obtained by the present method with those obtained by the classical random perturbation.

We consider a feedback control system including interval plant where uncertain parameters expressed in the hyperrectangular box X. Here we define the maximum value of the integral of the error(ISE) as the worst performance index(WPI) due to the plant parameter uncertainty. Suppose that the closed loop system retains robust stability and it belongs to type I. Then we show that the WPI occurs only on the exposed edges of Q. In particular, it is also shown that if ISE is a convex function relative to X, the WPI is attained at one of vertices of X. Some examples are given.

This paper introduces the detail study for making rule curve by applying weekly time interval for handling inflows. The hydro system model consists of a set of reservoirs and ponds. Thermal units are modeld by one equivalent thermal unit. Objective is minimizing the total cost that the summation of the fuel cost of equivalent thermal unit at each time interval. For optimization, stochastic dynamic programming(SDP) algorithm using successive approximations is used.

In this paper, we design an observer-based $H_{\infty}$ fuzzy controller for interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems under imperfect premise matching. The designed observer-based controller can effectively estimate the state of the system and make fuzzy system satisfy the $H_{\infty}$ disturbance attenuation performance. Using the slack matrix, the derived stabilization condition is expressed in terms of a linear matrix inequality. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a simulation example.

The physical parameters of controlled systems are uncertain and are accompanied with nonlinearity. The transfer function of the controlled system should, therefore, be expressed by interval polynomials. This paper describes the realization of robust performance for that type of control system (interval system) via model reference feedback. First, we will analyze an invariance problem of dynamic characteristics such that the dominant roots do not break away from a specified circular area, and will present a discrimination algorithm (i.e., a division algorithm) for the extreme points of the uncertain coefficients. Then, we will present a design method of control systems which have a robust performance such that the location of the dominant roots dose not vary excessively.
