Some Applications of Soft Computing Methods in System Modeling and Control

Abstract

The paper deals with the application of fuzzy systems, artificial neural networks (neural systems), and genetic algorithms to solve modeling and control problems in system engineering. Part 1 the paper covers the design of classical PID and fuzzy PID controllers for nonlinear systems with an (approximately) known dynamic model. Optimal controllers are designed based on genetic algorithms. Part 2 considers neural control of a SCARA robot. Part 3 deals with the fuzzy control of a special class of MIMO nonlinear systems and generalizes the method of Wang for such systems.
