Stable fuzzy self-tuning PID control of robot manipulators

摘要

In this paper we present a fuzzy self-tuning algorithm to select the Proportional, Integral and Derivative gains of a PID controller according to the actual state of a robotic manipulator. The stability via Lyapunov theory for the closed loop control system is also analyzed and shown that is locally asymptotically stable for a class of gain matrices depending on the manipulator states. This feature increases the potential of the PID control scheme to handle practical constraints in actual robots such as presence of actuators with limited torque capabilities. Experimental results on a two degrees of freedom robot arm shown the usefulness of the proposed approach.
