Comparative Analysis of PID and Fuzzy Logic Controllers for Position Control in Double-Link Robotic Manipulators
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Systems and Control - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of linear and non-linear control systems, specifically Proportion Integration Differentiation (PID) and fuzzy logic controllers, in the context of position control within double-link robotic manipulators. The effectiveness of these controllers was rigorously assessed in a simulated environment, utilizing MATLAB Simulink for the simulation and SOLIDWORKS for the model design. The PID controller, characterized by its Kp, Ki, and Kd components, was implemented both in the simulation and on the hardware. However, due to the constraints of the microcontroller's RAM and processor, which facilitate the hardware's connection with MATLAB, the application of the Fuzzy Logic concept to hardware was not feasible. In the simulated environment, the fuzzy logic controller demonstrated superior stability in comparison to the PID controller, evidenced by a lower settling time (1.0 seconds) and overshoot (2%). In contrast, the PID controller exhibited a settling time of 0.2 seconds and an overshoot of 32%. Additionally, the fuzzy logic controller showcased a 44% reduction in steady-state error relative to the PID controller. When applied to hardware, the PID controller maintained stable results, achieving a settling time of 0.6 seconds and an overshoot of 2%. The steady-state errors for Link 1 and Link 2 were recorded as 3.6° and 1.4°, respectively. The findings highlight the fuzzy logic controller's enhanced stability, rendering it more suitable for ensuring the accuracy and protection of the manipulator system. As a non-linear controller, the fuzzy logic controller efficiently addresses various potential errors through its intelligent control mechanism, which is embedded in its fuzzy rules. Conversely, the PID controller, a linear controller, responds rapidly but may lack flexibility in complex scenarios due to its inherent linearity. This study underscores the importance of selecting an appropriate controller based on the specific requirements of robotic manipulator systems, with a focus on achieving optimal performance and stability.
