The Implementation And Comparison Of Fuzzy Logic Control Systems To Modern Control Methods On Low-Cost Hardware, Cristian A. Barron
Theses and Dissertations
Modern control engineering provides many options to automate systems for which a mathematical model is required. Another control does not rely on the mathematical model of the system and is known as fuzzy logic control. In this study, a literature review is conducted on existing control systems strategies such as proportional integral and derivative (PID), linear quadratic regulator (LQR), and fuzzy logic controller (FLC), the complexity of the systems they control, and their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, a series of experiments are conducted, both through simulations in MATLAB Simulink and using their implementation using the actual physical hardware to …

The Automated Wingman: An Airborne Companion For Users Of Dis Compatible Flight Simulators, Mark M. Edwards
Theses and Dissertations
A major problem encountered by users of distributed virtual environments is the lack of simulators available to populate these environments. This problem is usually remedied by using computer generated entities. Unfortunately, these entities often lack adequate human behavior and are readily identified as non-human. This violates the realism premise of distributed virtual reality and is a major problem, especially in training situations. This thesis addresses the problem by presenting a computer generated entity called the Automated Wingman. The Automated Wingman is a semi-automated computer generated aircraft simulator that operates under the control of a designated lead simulator and integrates distributed …

Full Envelope Control Of Nonlinear Plants With Parameter Uncertainty By Fuzzy Controller Scheduling, Thomas J. Kobylarz
Theses and Dissertations
A full envelope controller synthesis technique is developed for multiple-input single-output (MISO) nonlinear systems with structured parameter uncertainty. The technique maximizes the controller's valid region of operation, while guaranteeing pre-specified transient performance. The resulting controller does not require on-line adaptation, estimation, prediction or model identification. Fuzzy Logic (FL) is used to smoothly schedule independently designed point controllers over the operational envelope and parameter space of the system's model. These point controllers are synthesized using techniques chosen by the designer, thus allowing an unprecedented amount of design freedom. By using established control theory for the point controllers, the resulting nonlinear dynamic …
