A performance approach to fuzzy control design for nonlinear systems

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic methodology to the design of a decentralized fuzzy logic controller for large-scale nonlinear systems. A new method which is based on a performance index of sliding mode control is used to derive fuzzy rules and an adaptive algorithm is used to reduce the chattering phenomenon. The simulation results of a two-inverted pendulum system and a two-link manipulator demonstrate that the attractive features of the proposed approach include a smaller residual error and robustness against nonlinear interactions.
