Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News – A new study on Robotics is now available. Accordi ng to news reporting originating in Uttarakhand, India, by NewsRx journalists, r esearch stated, “This work investigates the use of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC ) for two-wheeled differential drive mobile robot trajectory tracking control. D ue to the inherent complexity associated with tuning the membership functions of an FLC, this work employs a particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize t he parameters of these functions.” The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, “In order to automate and reduce the number of rule bases , the genetic algorithm is also employed for this study. The effectiveness of th e proposed approach is validated through MATLAB simulations involving diverse pa th tracking scenarios. The performance of the FLC is compared against establishe d controllers, including minimum norm solution, closed-loop inverse kinematics, and Jacobian transpose-based controllers. The results demonstrate that the FLC o ffers accurate trajectory tracking with reduced root mean square error and contr oller effort. An experimental, hardware-based investigation is also performed fo r further verification of the proposed system. In addition, the simulation is co nducted for various paths in the presence of noise in order to assess the propos ed controller’s robustness.”
