Abstract

A robust complexity reduced proportional-integral-derivative (PID)-like fuzzy controllers is designed for a plant with fuzzy linear model. The plant model is described with the expert's linguistic information involved. The linguistic information for the plant model is represented as fuzzy sets. In order to design a robust fuzzy controller for a plant model with fuzzy sets, an approach is developed to implement the best crisp approximation of fuzzy sets into intervals. Then, Kharitonov's Theorem is applied to construct a robust fuzzy controller for the fuzzy uncertain plant with interval model. With the linear combination of input variables as a new input variable, the complexity of the fuzzy mechanism of PID-like fuzzy controller is significantly reduced. The parameters in the robust fuzzy controller are determined to satisfy the stability conditions. The robustness of the designed fuzzy controller is discussed. Also, with the provided definition of relative robustness, the robustness of the complexity reduced fuzzy controller is compared to the classical PID controller for a second-order plant with fuzzy linear model. The simulation results are included to show the effectiveness of the designed PID-like robust fuzzy controller with the complexity reduced fuzzy mechanism.
