(full text, only for subscribers) |
A fuzzy controller, a conventional variable structure controller, and a region-wise affine fuzzy controller are compared for the control of an inverted pendulum. The region-wise affine controller is designed via a conventional fuzzy controller with a linear defuzzification algorithm; the input and output membership functions parameters are chosen in order to ensure the stability of the linearised system.
Keywords: fuzzy control, stability, fuzzy controller design
Jean- Yves Dieulot graduated from Institut Industriel du Nord (French Grande Ecole d'Ingénieurs) in 1990 and received the Ph. D degree in Control Engineering from the University of Lille in 1993. Since 1995 Dr. Dieulot has been an Associate Professor with IAAL (Food Processing Institute of the University of Lille). His research interests include fuzzy controllers and food engineering modelling and control.
Professor Pierre Borne received the MSc. degree in Physics in 1967 and the MSc. degree in Electronics, Mechanics and Applied Mathematics in 1968. He graduated from Institut Industriel du Nord (French Grande Ecole d'Ingénieurs) in 1968 and received Ph.D and DSc. in Control Engineering from the University of Lille (France) in 1970 and 1976, respectively. He is the author and co-author of more than 200 journal articles, book chapters and communications at conferences. He is the author of 6 books in automatic control, the co-editor of the Concise Encyclopedia of Modelling and Simulation (Pergamon, NY), and he organised 7 international conferences and symposia. He received an IEEE Outstanding Award in 1992 and the Kuhlmann Prize in 1994. Professor Borne was IMACS Vice-President from 1988 to 1994. He has been Fellow of the IEEE since 1996. Since 1999 he has been IEEE System, Man and Cybernetics President. He is currently Professor at the Ecole Centrale de Lille, France where he is Director of the Research and Head of the Department of Automatic Control. His activities concern automatic control and robust control, including the implementation of fuzzy controllers and neural networks.
