Background: Robotic manipulator system has been useful in many areas like chemical industries, automobile, medical fields etc. Therefore, it is essential to implement a controller for controlling the end position of a robotic armeffectively. However, with the increasing non-linearity and the complexities of a robotic manipulator system, a conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller has become ineffective. Nowadays, intelligent techniques like fuzzy logic, neural network and optimization algorithms has emerged as an efficient tool for controlling the highly complex non-linear functions with uncertain dynamics. Objective: To implement an efficient and robustcontroller using Fuzzy Logic to effectively control the end position of Single link Robotic Manipulator to follow the desired trajectory. Methods: In this paper, a Fuzzy Proportional-Integral-Derivativecontroller is implemented whose parameters are obtainedwith the Spider Monkey Optimization technique taking Integral of Absolute Error as an objective function. Results: Simulated results ofoutput of the plants controlled byFuzzy Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller have been shown in this paper and the superiority of the implemented controller has also been described by comparing itwith the conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller and Genetic Algorithm optimization technique. Conclusion: From results, it is clear that the FuzzyProportional-Integral-Derivativeoptimized with the Spider monkey optimization technique is more accurate, fast and robust as compared to the Proportional-Integral-Derivativecontroller as well as the controllers optimized with the Genetic algorithm techniques.Also, by comparing the integral absolute error values of all the controllers, it has been found that the controller optimized with the Spider Monkey Optimization technique shows 99% better efficacy than the genetic algorithm technique.

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 context exhaustively investigates the ride comfort performance index on the proposed active suspension vehicle system. Ride comfort in terms of occupants (includes driver and passenger) head acceleration, sprung mass vertical and pitching accelerations is considered. For this examination, a 14-degree-of-freedom human vehicle road integrated system model was extensively developed. Then, an active suspension system composed of a hydraulic actuator and proportional-integral-derivative controller is incorporated into the developed vehicle model to enhance the ride comfort. Besides, the designed controller needs to satisfy other vehicle performance indices like vehicle stability and ride safety. Accordingly, the controller parameters were optimally tunned with the help of genetic algorithm technique, on the basis of integral time absolute error criterion. The objective function was created on the basis of minimizing the integral time absolute error of sprung mass displacement, suspension working space and tire deflection responses. The entire response of human vehicle road integrated model, with the proposed active suspension system and passive suspension system on various random road surfaces (A, B, C, D and E with respect to ISO 8608) with five constant speeds (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 kmph), was compared via surficial presentation. Furthermore, the comfort measures such as root mean square and vibration dose value from ISO 2631-1 were adopted to evaluate the severity between the occupants via head acceleration response. The simulation results showed that the suggested active suspension system significantly improved the ride comfort with guaranteed vehicle stability and ride safety.

Stewart platform or other parallel manipulators with a Stewart structure are commonly used in flight simulators, surgical operations, medical rehabilitation processes, machine tools, industrial applications, etc. Therefore, researchers have paid attention to position control of these manipulators in addition to their design and development process. In this study, a developed Stewart platform and its inverse kinematic analysis are presented first. Then, a model-free control scheme called a high order differential feedback controller scheme is designed for the Stewart platform in order to improve its trajectory tracking performance and robustness against to different reference trajectories. Real-time trajectory tracking experiments with varied reference trajectories are carried out to show the robustness and effectiveness of the high order differential feedback controller scheme compared to the traditional proportional–integral–derivative controller of which the parameters are optimally tuned. The obtained visual trajectory tracking results and numerical performance results based on error-based performance measurement metrics such as integral of absolute error, integral of squared error, and integral of time-weighted absolute error are provided for both the proposed high order differential feedback controller scheme and the optimal tuned proportional–integral–derivative controller. Experimental results show that the proposed high order differential feedback controller scheme is more robust than the proportional–integral–derivative controller. Furthermore, the high order differential feedback controller scheme has superiority in both transient and steady-state responses and even the parameters of the proportional–integral–derivative controller are optimally tuned.
