Abstract

This paper introduces a fuzzy logic based controller for the position control of pneumatic actuators. The proposed control technique is simple, robust, and suitable for nonlinear systems. A mathematical model is obtained in order to simulate the behavior of a pneumatic actuator by taking into account the nonlinearities of the system. Fuzzy logic control is applied with two feedback signals that are the error between the desired and actual position, and the pressure difference in both chambers of the cylinder. The performance of the proposed controller is compared with the classical PID controller by varying several conditions in order to prove the accuracy and robustness of the fuzzy logic controller.
