Deploying Fuzzy Logic for Self-Tuning Regulator Design for Motion Control in Modern Electrical Machines
Abstract: Modern electrical machines require sophisticated motion control systems capable of adapting to varying operating conditions, load disturbances, and parameter uncertainties. Traditional self-tuning regulators (STR) based on classical control theory often struggle with nonlinearities, time-varying dynamics, and complex operational environments characteristic of contemporary electric drives. This article presents a comprehensive framework for deploying fuzzy logic in self-tuning regulator design to address these challenges in motion control applications. Fuzzy logic controllers leverage …

Lyapunov-Stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Control for Robust Anti-Lock Braking Under Uncertain Road Adhesion Conditions
Abstract: This paper proposes a Lyapunov-stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (FO-IT2FLC) for robust anti-lock braking system (ABS) control under nonlinear vehicle dynamics and uncertain road adhesion conditions. The proposed framework integrates fractional-order error dynamics to capture memory-dependent tire–road interaction, interval Type-2 fuzzy inference to model uncertainty via footprint-of-uncertainty representation, and a Lyapunov-based adaptive learning mechanism for real-time parameter tuning. A rigorous stability proof guarantees boundedness of all closed-loop …
