Recently, there has been widespread and vital adoption of flexible manipulators due to their increased prevalence. This is attributed to the growing demand for flexibility in various tasks like refueling operations, inspections, and maintenance activities. Nevertheless, these robots are under-actuated systems characterized by a nonlinear behavior and present dynamic coupling interactions that contribute to the complexity of the control process. The main control objective is to achieve an accurate tracking of the desired position while simultaneously reducing oscillations occurring in the link. Therefore, this paper proposes integrating the tuning and adaptive control by employing fuzzy logic methodology in conjunction with internal model control (IMC). The suggested controller takes advantage of intelligent techniques, simple structure, robustness, and easy tuning of the conventional IMC. Both triangular and trapezoidal Membership Functions (MFs) are applied in this study to create a pair of Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLCs) based on the Mamdani method. These controllers are employed to dynamically adjust the parameters of the IMC, in contrast to the fixed parameters used in the conventional IMC approach. The effectiveness of the suggested Adaptive-based Fuzzy IMC (AFIMC) is showcased through simulation and practical experimentation, in scenarios both with and without disturbances. Results indicate that this technique outperforms conventional IMC in achieving control objectives and rejecting disturbances. Full article

Title: Robust control design and optimization for underactuated mechanical systems considering fuzzy uncertainties
Authors: Xiaofei Chen; Jie Fang; Jiandong Li; Shengchao Zhen

Abstract: The control challenge of underactuated systems arises from the insufficient degrees of freedom for control and heightened sensitivity to various uncertainties. These factors lead to difficulties such as poor controllability, unstable internal dynamics, and inadequate robustness performance. This paper addresses these issues, focusing on the control research of underactuated dynamic systems with uncertainties. Firstly, the controller is designed by integrating fuzzy mathematics and Lyapunov stability theory. Fuzzy set theory is used to describe the system's uncertainties, leading to the proposal of a robust control algorithm based on fuzzy dynamic systems. Secondly, the optimization of robust control is explored by minimizing performance indicators based on fuzzy information. Finally, a linear motor-driven single inverted pendulum system was used for simulation and experimental validation. The results demonstrated that the optimal robust controller reduced the cart's position error by 34.89% and the pendulum's angle error by 29.20% compared to its initial state. In comparison to traditional PD control, the steady-state position error of the cart decreased from 0.00318m to 0.00057m, and the pendulum's steady-state angle error decreased from 0.01117 rad to 0.00055 rad, further confirming the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
