Adaptive Fuzzy PID Car Control using a Bilateral Teleoperator
This paper investigates the application of Adaptive Fuzzy PID Control in the context of car control using a bilateral teleoperator. A bilateral teleoperator allows the operator to operate a remote car using his own controls and at the same time receive feedback on the car’s condition. The goal of the research is the analysis and comparison of different control methods, including PID controller, Adaptive Fuzzy PID controller, and the use of energy and wave variables of the bilateral teleoperator. The paper presents a car control model by means of a bilateral teleoperator, which was implemented in a simulation environment. Then performance comparisons of different control methods were made. The PID controller was used as the basic method, while the Adaptive Fuzzy PID controller was additionally included to achieve system adaptivity. Also, the use of energy and wave variables of the bilateral teleoperator was additionally investigated. The results of the comparison show that the use of bilateral teleoperator wave variables gave the best response of the control system. The analysis of signal waveforms and frequencies enabled more precise monitoring of the car’s condition and the detection of possible problems or instability in the system. This knowledge can be of great importance for improving the performance of car control by means of a bilateral teleoperator.
