A fuzzy logic controller for the positioning control of an electro-pneumatic servo-drive

Abstract

The main objective of our research project was to design an electro-pneumatic servo-drive positioning control system, which involved applying a fuzzy logic controller. A proportional–derivative fuzzy logic controller was selected to perform position changeover, follow-up, and teach/playback control. These methods of control are essential in automation equipment, such as pick-and-place machines, manipulators, and robots. Compared to the smart positioning controller SPC200, the proportional–derivative fuzzy logic controller demonstrated superior accuracy required for industrial pneumatic manipulators.
