T-S Fuzzy Logic Control with Genetic Algorithm Optimization for Pneumatic Muscle Actuator

Abstract

Based on the three elements model of pneumatic muscle actuators(PMA), this paper proposed a T-S fuzzy logic control with genetic algorithm optimization and achieved the trajectory tracking control of PMA. To guarantee the stability of control system, the Lyapunov direct method was used. And the LMI Toolbox of Matlab was used in this paper to solve linear matrix inequalities(LMls) and calculate the state feedback gains. Finally, the results of experiment demonstrated that, T-S fuzzy logic control with genetic algorithm optimization can achieve desired control performance, which overcome the chattering of trajectory tracking, reduced tracking error effectively and improved the accuracy of control.
