Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA REVIEW OF INTELLIGENT CONTROL SYSTEMS APPLIED TO THE INVERTED-PENDULUM PROBLEMPedro Ponce, Arturo Molina, Eugenio AlvarezThis study shows the latest advances in the application of intelligent control to the inverted-pendulum problem. A complete review regarding intelligent control design is presented in this study in order to show the most important artificial intelligence methods used for controlling an Inverted-Pendulum. Also this study proposed the use of a neural-fuzzy-with-genetic-algorithms controller for the inverted pendulum problem which gives … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2014 · 8,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPLEMENTATION OF AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION ALGORITHMS ON TWO-WHEELED GROUND MOBILE ROBOTStephen Armah, Sun Yi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study presents an effective navigation architecture that combines ’go-to-goal’, ’avoid-obstacle’ and ’follow-wall’ controllers into a full navigation system. A MATLAB robot simulator is used to implement this navigation control algorithm. The robot in the simulator moves to a goal in the presence of convex and non-convex obstacles. Experiments are carried out using a ground mobile robot, Dr Robot X80SV, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 7 Apr 2014 · 9,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntelligent Controller for Reduction of Total Harmonics in Single Phase InvertersSpencer Prathap Singh, Kesavan NairDue to the increased use of nonlinear loads, the problem of power harmonics becomes more and more complex. This work investigates the reduction of Harmonics in voltage controlled single phase full bridge inverter. The mapping state-space equations are generated by examining the single phase full bridge inverter. The PI and fuzzy logic controllers are used for the experimental simulation in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 18 Sep 2013 · 6,647 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDESIGN OF FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER FOR ONLINE SPEED REGULATION OF DC MOTOR USING PWM TECHNIQUE BASED ON LABORATORY VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT ENGINEERING WORKBENCHPrema Kannan, Senthil Kumar Natarajan, Subhransu Sekar DashThis study details online speed regulation of DC motor using PWM technique based on LabVIEW. A fuzzy logic controller is designed to change the pulse width of switching signal applied to the converter and thereby the voltage fed to the armature of the separately excited DC motor to regulate the speed. The proposed system is connected to the server computer … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 4 Jul 2013 · 6,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Location of Variable Impedance Devices for Stability StudiesN. Magaji, M. W. Mustafa, Ado Dan-Isa, A. U. LawanThis study used the concept of model controllability and observability in product form called residue factor to find the best location of Thyristor-Controlled based series and shunt devices called variable impedance devices. The success of this controller depends on its best possible location in busbar or line of power system network. The method is based on the relationship between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 May 2013 · 6,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Positioning of Laser Beams Using Proportional Integral Derivative and Based Observer-Feedback ControlKwabena A. Konadu, Sun Yi, Wonchang Choi, Taher Abu-LebdehHigh-precision positioning of laser beams has been a great challenge in industry due to inevitable existence of noise and disturbance. The work presented in this study addresses this problem by employing two different control strategies: Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control and state feedback control with an observer. The control strategies are intended to stabilize the position of a laser beam … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Apr 2013 · 6,868 accessesView PDFCite
