Type-2 fuzzy cerebellar model articulation control system design for MIMO uncertain nonlinear systems

An adaptive controller is proposed using a novel interval type-2 fuzzy cerebellar model articulation controller (T2FCMAC). The T2FCMAC realizes an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system based on the structure of the cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC). Due to the better ability of handling uncertainties provided by type-2 fuzzy sets, it can solve some complicated problems with outstanding effectiveness than type-1 fuzzy sets. In addition, an intelligent control system is proposed; this control system is comprised of a T2FCMAC and an auxiliary compensation controller. The T2FCMAC is utilized to approximate a perfect controller and the parameters of T2FCMAC are on-line tuned by the derived adaptive laws based on a Lyapunov function. The auxiliary compensation controller is designed to suppress the influence of residual approximation error between the perfect controller and the T2FCMAC. Finally, a Chua´s chaotic circuit is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. The simulation results confirm that the proposed intelligent adaptive control system can achieve favorable tracking performance.
