Abstract Consideration of ultrasonic cleaning as a process with distributed parameters enables reduction of power consumption. This approach is based on establishment of control over the process depending on fixed values of ultrasonic responses in set points. The initial intensity of radiators is determined using a three-dimensional (3D) interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller essentially created for processes with distributed parameters, as well as complex expert evaluation of the input data. The interval membership functions for the input and output data consider the space heterogeneity of ultrasonic cleaning. A rule base is formed, which is 2D and not dependent upon the number of input and output parameters. A model illustrating ultrasonic cleaning with a 3D interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller is designed. Comparative analysis of the output parameters of the proposed model and the traditional method indicates an increase in the energy efficiency by 41.17% due to application of only those ultrasonic radiators that are located next to the contamination.

This paper presents control design based on an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic (IT2FL) for the trajectory tracking of 3-RRR (3-Revolute-Revolute-Revolute) planar parallel robot. The design of Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Controller (T1FLC) is also considered for the purpose of comparison with the IT2FLC in terms of robustness and trajectory tracking characteristics. The scaling factors in the output and input of T1FL and IT2FL controllers play a vital role in improving the performance of the closed-loop system. However, using trial-and-error procedure for tuning these design parameters is exhaustive and hence an optimization technique is applied to achieve their optimal values and to reach an improved performance. In this study, Social Spider Optimization (SSO) algorithm is proposed as a useful tool to tune the parameters of proportional-derivative (PD) versions of both IT2FLC and T1FLC. Two scenarios, based on two square desired trajectories (with and without disturbance), have been tested to evaluate the tracking performance and robustness characteristics of proposed controllers. The effectiveness of controllers have been verified via numerical simulations based on MATLAB/SIMULINK programming software, which showed the superior of IT2FLC in terms of robustness and tracking errors.

Some autonomous navigation methods, when implemented alone, can lead to poor performance, whereas their combinations, when well thought out, can yield exceptional performances. We have demonstrated this by combining the artificial potential field and fuzzy logic methods in the framework of mobile robots’ autonomous navigation. In this article, we investigate a possible combination of three methods widely used in the autonomous navigation of mobile robots, and whose individual implementation still does not yield the expected performances. These are as follows: the artificial potential field, which is quick and easy to implement but faces local minima and robustness problems. Fuzzy logic is robust but computationally intensive. Finally, neural networks have an exceptional generalization capacity, but face data collection problems for the learning base and robustness. This article aims to exploit the advantages offered by each of these approaches to design a robust, intelligent, and computationally efficient controller. The combination of the artificial potential field and interval type-2 fuzzy logic resulted in an interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller whose advantage over the classical interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller was the small size of the rule base. However, it kept all the classical interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller characteristics, with the major disadvantage that type-reduction remains the main cause of high computation time. In this article, the type-reduction process is replaced with two layers of neural networks. The resulting controller is an interval type-2 fuzzy neural network controller with the artificial potential field controller’s outputs as auxiliary inputs. The results obtained by performing a series of experiments on a mobile platform demonstrate the proposed navigation system’s efficiency.

This paper focuses on the development of a stable Mamdani type-2 fuzzy logic based controller for automatic control of servo systems. The stability analysis of the fuzzy controller has been done by employing the concept of Lyapunov. The Lyapunov approach results in the derivation of an original stability analysis that can be used for designing the rule base of our proposed online gain adaptive Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Proportional Derivative controller (IT2-GFPD) for servo systems with assured stability. In this approach a Quadratic positive definite Lyapunov function is used and sufficient stability conditions are satisfied by the adaptive type-2 fuzzy logic control system. Illustrative simulation studies with linear and nonlinear models as well as experimental results on a real-time servo system validate the stability and robustness of the developed intelligent IT2-GFPD. A comparative performance study of IT2-GFPD with other controllers in presence of noise and disturbance also proves the superiority of the proposed controller.

Navigation is one of the typical problem domains occurred in studying swarm robot. This task needs a special ability in avoiding obstacles.  This research presents the navigation techniques using type 1 fuzzy logic and interval type 2 fuzzy logic. A comparison of those two fuzzy logic performances in controlling swarm robot as tools for complex problem modeling, especially for path navigation is presented in this paper.  Each hierarchical of fuzzy logic shows its advantages and disadvantages.  For testing the robustness of type-1 fuzzy logic and interval type-2 fuzzy logic algorithms, 3 robots for the real swarm robot experiment are used.  Each is equipped with one compass sensor, three distance sensors, and one X-Bee communication module.  The experimental results show that type-2 fuzzy logic has better performance than type-1 fuzzy logic.
