Fuzzy control of an electropneumatic actuator

Present work describes the design and implementation of a fuzzy controller for a pneumatic actuator to control the steering of an unmanned lawnmower. The fuzzy controller expresses in natural language the human expertise on the control of this non-linear system by means of a set of linguistic expressions. Few investigations have been addressed to the control of such system and the existing one offers a theoretical description of the functioning of its different subsystems. Present work is a novel contribution on the fuzzy control of a pneumatic actuator. Some results are displayed to show the fuzzy controller performance in real time, under a wide range of working conditions to get a remote control of outdoor vehicles
