Abstract

This paper presents a fuzzy logic design of a tele-control electrical vehicle system. We showed that the application of fuzzy logic control allows the stability of tele-vehicle system in spite of communication delays between the operator and the vehicle. A robust bilateral controller design using fuzzy logic frameworks was proposed. This approach allows a convenient means to trade off robustness and stability for a pre-specified time- delay margin. Both the performance and robustness of the proposed method were demonstrated by simulation results for a constant time delay between the operator and the electrical vehicle system.

Highlights

  • Tele-control vehicles play an important role, especially in hazardous environments such as with the inspection of underwater structures [1], demining [2] and cleaning nuclear plants [3]

  • The problem considered in this paper is the design of, a bilateral controller for an electric vehicle tele-control system based on the fuzzy logic approach

  • To illustrate the behaviour of the tele-control system and in order to confirm the findings of the previous section, the bilateral controller K was designed using the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox from MATLAB

Summary

Introduction

Tele-control vehicles play an important role, especially in hazardous environments such as with the inspection of underwater structures [1], demining [2] and cleaning nuclear plants [3]. During the past two decades, the bulk of the work in vehicle tele-control has focused on ratecontrolled systems for hazardous environments. In these systems, a trained operator controls the vehicle’s rotation and translation speed via hand-controllers and receives feedback from video cameras. With a tele-control system, the information flow between the electrical vehicle and its operator significantly affects the operator's dexterousness and efficiency. The two major issues with tele-control electrical vehicles are stability – and robustness - and transparency performance
