Abstract

The drawbacks of sliding mode control in terms of high control gains and chattering are overcome by incorporating fuzzy control in the switching logic. This hybrid system increases the complexity in design and, at present, there exist no effective design tools due to the lack of analytical and numerical approaches. This paper develops an automated design approach to this design problem, using tournament and rank-based genetic algorithms to replace trial-and-error designs. The method is illustrated through the design of a near-optimal fuzzy-sliding mode controller for a nonlinear liquid-level control system. The control strategy gives relatively low overshoots with smooth control action and retains the robustness of the sliding mode approach.
