In this paper, a robot navigation model is constructed in MATLAB-Simulink. This robot navigation model make the robot capable for the obstacles avoidance in unknown environment. The navigation model uses two types of controllers: pure pursuit controller and fuzzy logic controller. The role of the pure pursuit controller is to generate linear and angular velocities to drive the robot from its current position to the given goal position. The obstacle avoidance is achieved through the fuzzy logic controller. For the fuzzy controller, two novel fuzzy inference systems (FISs) are developed. Initially, a Mamdani-type fuzzy inference system (FIS) is generated. Using this Mamdani-type FIS in the fuzzy controller, the training data of input and output mapping, is collected. This training data is supplied to the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to obtain the second FIS as of Sugeno-type. The navigation model, using the proposed FISs, is implemented on the simulated as well as real robots.

A Simulink model containing fuzzy logic controller for collision-free robot navigation in a dynamic environment is presented in this paper. Two controllers, pure pursuit and fuzzy logic controller, are considered to handle robot navigation with obstacle avoidance. Ignoring the obstacles, the pure pursuit controller computes the required linear and angular velocities to direct robot from start to goal location. However, if obstacles are present in the navigation path then the robot will get collided with obstacles in the path. As a result, the robot will not reach to the provided goal location. The fuzzy logic controller is used to avoid obstacles in the navigation path. The fuzzy logic controller takes obstacle distance, obstacle angle, target direction and the x coordinate of goal location as inputs. Consequently, the fuzzy logic controller outputs the required change in angular velocity for the robot. This change in angular velocity is applied to the angular velocity provided by the pure pursuit controller. The experimental work is performed using Turtlebot Gazebo simulator. The navigation including environment, obstacles and resultant paths are also manifested.

A methodology for designing a Sugeno type Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) for accurate position control of a pneumatic servo system is presented. Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System technique is employed to construct a fuzzy inference system whose membership function parameters are tuned using a training data set comprising of input/output signal of the pneumatic servo system with proportional control. Hybrid backpropogation-least square algorithm is used for training of the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS). The resulting FIS optimally projected the behavior of training data set. To obtain the desired steady-state response, the fuzzy inference system is further tuned using the expert knowledge of the input/output response of the system. The system response for various reference inputs is compared quantitatively with that of the system without fuzzy logic controller, and excellent improvement in steady-state response is observed.

AbstractIn HVDC Light transmission systems, converter control is one of the major fields of present day research works. In this paper, fuzzy logic controller is utilized for controlling both the converters of the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) based HVDC Light transmission systems. Due to its complexity in the rule base formation, an intelligent controller known as adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller is also introduced in this paper. The proposed ANFIS controller changes the PI gains automatically for different operating conditions. A hybrid learning method which combines and exploits the best features of both the back propagation algorithm and least square estimation method is used to train the 5-layer ANFIS controller. The performance of the proposed ANFIS controller is compared and validated with the fuzzy logic controller and also with the fixed gain conventional PI controller. The simulations are carried out in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The results reveal that the proposed ANFIS controller is reducing power fluctuations at both the converters. It also improves the dynamic performance of the test power system effectively when tested for various ac fault conditions.

This paper illustrates a comparison study of Fuzzy and ANFIS Controller for Inverted Pendulum systems. IP belongs to a class of highly non-linear, unstable and multi-variable systems which act as a testing bed for many complex systems. Initially, a Matlab-Simulink model of IP system was proposed. Secondly, a Fuzzy logic controller was designed using Mamdani inference system for control of proposed model. The data sets from fuzzy controller was used for development of a Hybrid Sugeno ANFIS controller. The results shows that ANFIS controller provides better results in terms of Performance parameters including Settling time(sec), maximum overshoot(degree) and steady state error.

The paper presents the design and implementation of a digital rule-relational fuzzy logic controller. Classical and decomposed logical structures of fuzzy systems are discussed. The second allows a decrease in the hardware cost of the fuzzy system and in the computing time of the final result (fuzzy or crisp), especially when referring to relational systems. The physical architecture consists of IP modules implemented in an FPGA structure. The modules can be inserted into or removed from the project to get a desirable fuzzy logic controller configuration. The fuzzy inference system implemented in FPGA can operate with a much higher performance than software implementations on standard microcontrollers.

Abstract In this paper, we report on the development of a neuro-fuzzy controller for magnetorheological dampers using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System or ANFIS. Fuzzy logic based controllers are capable to deal with non-linear or uncertain systems, which make them particularly well suited for civil engineering applications. The main objective is to develop a semi-active control system with a MR damper to reduce the response of a three degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) building structure. The control system is designed using ANFIS to optimize the fuzzy inference rule of a simple fuzzy logic controller. The results show that the proposed semi-active neuro-fuzzy based controller is effective in reducing the response of structural system.

The inverted pendulum is an under-actuated and nonlinear system, which is also unstable. It is a single-input double-output system, where only one output is directly actuated. This paper investigates a single intelligent control system using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to stabilize the inverted pendulum system while tracking the desired position. The non-linear inverted pendulum system was modelled and built using MATLAB Simulink. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic controller was implemented and its performance was compared with a Sugeno-fuzzy inference system in both simulation and real experiment. The ANFIS controller could reach its desired new destination in 1.5 s and could stabilize the entire system in 2.2 s in the simulation, while in the experiment it took 1.7 s to reach stability. Results from the simulation and experiment showed that ANFIS had better performance compared to the Sugeno-fuzzy controller as it provided faster and smoother response and much less steady-state error.

The cantilever concrete beam is a beam made of concrete that is only supported or clamped at one end and the other end free or without the pedestal. The measure to which a structural member gets deviated from the initial position is called deflection. All the internal forces of cantilever beam serve to hold all the external forces due to the load so that the structure remains balanced. While the beam gets deflected under the loads, bending occurs in the same plane due to which stresses are developed. From the moment balance formula after integrated and solved with required boundary conditions, we get the downward deflection of beam. Fuzzy logic provides an inference structure that enables appropriate human reasoning capabilities. FIS (Fuzzy Inference System) is a system that processes the mapping formulation of a given input to produce an output using Fuzzy Logic. By using randomized data for all the variables of deflection formula within their respective ranges as training data, the FIS will be able to predict deflection of cantilever concrete beam after going through the training process adaptively.
