Farming and agriculture is an area that may benefit from improved use of automation in order to increase working hours and improve food quality and safety. In this paper, a commercial robot was purchased and modified, and crop row navigational software was developed to allow the ground-based robot to autonomously navigate a crop row setting. A proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller and a fuzzy logic controller were developed to compare the efficacy of each controller based on which controller navigated the crop row more reliably. Results of the testing indicate that both controllers perform well, with some differences depending on the scenario.

This article presents a new control method based on fuzzy controller, time delay estimation, deep learning, and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-III for the nonlinear active mount systems. The proposed method, intelligent adapter fractions proportional–integral–derivative controller, is a smart combination of the time delay estimation control and intelligent fractions proportional–integral–derivative with adaptive control parameters following the speed range of engine rotation via the deep neural network with the optimal non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-III deep learning algorithm. Besides, we proposed optimal fuzzy logic controller with optimal parameters via particle swarm optimization algorithm to control reciprocal compensation to eliminate errors for intelligent adapter fractions proportional–integral–derivative controller. The control objective is to deal with the classical conflict between minimizing engine vibration impacts on the chassis to increase the ride comfort and keeping the dynamic wheel load small to ensure the ride safety. The results of this control method are compared with that of traditional proportional–integral–derivative controller systems, optimal proportional–integral–derivative controller parameter adjustment using genetic algorithms, linear–quadratic regulator control algorithms, and passive drive system mounts. The results are tested in both time and frequency domains to verify the success of the proposed optimal fuzzy logic controller–intelligent adapter fractions proportional–integral–derivative control system. The results show that the proposed optimal fuzzy logic controller–intelligent adapter fractions proportional–integral–derivative control system of the active engine mount system gives very good results in comfort and softness when riding compared with other controllers.

This study deals with designing a decentralized multi-input multi-output controller board based on a low-cost microcontroller, which drives both parts of variable-speed scroll compressor and electronic-type expansion valve simultaneously in a chiller system. This study aims to show the applicability of commercial low-cost microcontroller to increase the efficiency of the chiller system, having variable-speed scroll compressor and electronic-type expansion valve with a new electronic card. Moreover, the refrigerant system proposed in this study provides the compactness, mobility, and flexibility, and also a decrease in the controller unit’s budget. The study was tested on a chiller system that consists of an air-cooled condenser, a variable-speed scroll compressor, and a stepper driven electronic-type expansion valve. The R134a was used as a refrigerant fluid and its flow was controlled by electronic-type expansion valve in this setup. Both variable-speed scroll compressor and electronic-type expansion valve were driven by the proposed hardware using either proportional integral derivative or fuzzy logic controller, which defines four distinct controller modes. The experimental results show that fuzzy logic controlled electronic-type expansion valve and proportional integral derivative controlled variable-speed scroll compressor mode give more robustness by considering the response time.

Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) telah banyak digunakan dalam aplikasi untuk mengontrol kecepatan motor arus searah. Kinerja dengan kemampuan untuk mengontrol secara otomatis diperlukan. Dalam proyek ini, kinerja motor arus searah yang dipilih telah dikontrol menggunakan pengontrol Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) dan FLC telah dipelajari. Untuk tujuan itu, nilai maksimum kecepatan swap untuk mencapai nilai kecepatan yang telah ditentukan dan juga waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mencapai nilai kecepatan target yang stabil telah diidentifikasi dan dianalisis untuk memverifikasi perilaku pengontrol PID serta FLC. Oleh karena itu, penyesuaian harus dilakukan pada FLC untuk memastikan bahwa kinerja yang dihasilkan sesuai dengan yang diinginkan... Kontrol kecepatan motor arus searah yang dilakukan oleh pengontrol PID dan pengontrol FLC adalah dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak MATLAB. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa menggunakan FLC, kecepatan maksimum dari kemungkinan adalah minimal, gelombang transien minimum dan juga nilai kesalahan dalam kondisi kecepatan stabil minimum telah dicapai dibandingkan dengan menggunakan pengontrol Controlled Integral Derivative (PID) konvensional.

<p>Line tracking robots have been widely implemented in various applications. Among various control strategies, a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm has been widely proposed to optimize the performance of a line tracking robot. However, the motivation of using a PID controller, instead of a proportional (P) or a proportional-integral (PI) controller, in a line tracking task has seldom been discussed. Particularly, the use of a systematic tuning approach e.g. closed loop Ziegler Nichols rule to optimize the parameters of a PID controller has rarely been investigated. Thus, this paper investigates the performance of P, PI, and PID controllers in a line tracking task, and the ability of Ziegler Nichols rule to optimize the parameters of the P, PI, and PID controllers. First, the ultimate gain value, K<sub>u</sub> and ultimate period of oscillation, P<sub>u</sub> were estimated using a proposed approach. Second, the values of K<sub>P</sub>, K<sub>I</sub> and K<sub>D</sub> were estimated using the Ziegler Nichols formulae. The performance of a differential wheeled robot in the line tracking task was evaluated using three different speeds. Results indicate that the Ziegler Nichols rule coupled with the proposed method is able to identify the parameters of the P, PI, and PID controllers systematically in the line tracking task. Findings indicate that the mobile robot coupled with a proportional controller achieved the best performance compared to PI and PID controllers in the line tracking process when the estimated initial parameters were used.</p>

Developing and constantly changing technologies, efforts to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum fuel consumption, as well as the development of comfort and safety systems, have become very essential topic in car manufacturing and design. Whereas comfort and security were not given a high importance in the first produced cars, they are indispensable elements of today's automobiles. Since public transportation uses road in large scale, the need for safety and repose is also increasing. Nowadays, vehicles have better security and comfort systems, which react very quickly to all kinds of loads and different cases of driving (braking, acceleration, high speed, cornering), where the tires can keep the road at its best, utilizing an advanced suspension system. In this study, a quarter-car model was fulfilled using LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) software. The control of this model has been realized by applying two different controllers. PID (proportional, integral, derivative) controller which is a common and conventional control method and the Fuzzy Logic controller which is considered as an expert system that is becoming more and more widely used. In both control approaches, controlling the suspension system was achieved successfully. However; It has been determined that controlling the system using Fuzzy Logic controller gave better dynamic response than applying the PID controller for the quarter car suspension model that has been used in the direction of this study.
