Hybrid Neural-Fuzzy Controller for Motorized Robot Arm

Abstract:

In this study, a design methodology is introduced that blends the neural and fuzzy logic controllers in an intelligent way developing a new intelligent hybrid controller. In this design methodology, the fuzzy logic controller works in parallel with the neural controller and adjusting the output of the neural controller. The performance of our proposed controller is demonstrated on a motorized robot arm with disturbances. The simulation results shows that the new hybrid neural -fuzzy controller provides better system response in terms of transient and steady-state performance when compared to neural or fuzzy logic controller applications. The development and implementation of the proposed controller is done using the MATLAB/Simulink toolbox to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
