Fuzzy control design for the trajectory tracking in phase plane

Abstract

Based on the concept of sliding mode control, the paper designs a fuzzy logic control for a linear system to achieve the trajectory tracking in the phase plane. That is, the system's state (e, e/spl dot/) is controlled to track the prespecified trajectory which is composed of several nonisoclinal segments. Each segment of the prespecified trajectory denotes the relation between the tracking error e and the error change e/spl dot/ in the corresponding region of the phase plane. In the paper, the prespecified trajectory is regarded as a sliding surface. A direct piecewise linear output formulation of the fuzzy logic controller is synthesized to achieve the hitting motion such that the trajectory tracking is completed region by region. We summarize the above analysis to be a fuzzy logic control design algorithm and give a practical example to illustrate its applicability.
