Process automation using adaptive fuzzy control

摘要

In process automation the control of plants with uncertainty or unknown parameters normally requires either a costly identification phase or an intensive fine-tuning of the controller. An easy adaptive fuzzy control is proposed which allows automatic controller tuning during operation with respect to desired closed loop behaviour. This adaptive control was added to the fuzzy kernel of an existing process automation system. Finally, experimental results of a three fingered robot gripper using this adaptive fuzzy control are presented.
