Mathematical Modeling and Fuzzy Adaptive PID Control of Erection Mechanism

This paper describes an application of fuzzy adaptive PID controller to erection mechanism. Mathematical model of erection mechanism was derived. Erection mechanism is driven by electrohydraulic actuator system which is difficult to control due to its nonlinearity and complexity. Therefore fuzzy adaptive PID controller was applied to control the system. Simulation was performed in Simulink software and experiment was accomplished on laboratory equipment. Simulation and experiment results of erection angle controlled by fuzzy logic, PID and fuzzy adaptive PID controllers were respectively obtained. The results show that fuzzy adaptive PID controller can effectively achieve the best performance for erection mechanism in comparison with fuzzy logic and PID controllers.
