Optimization of Type-2 and Type-1 Fuzzy Tracking Controllers for an Autonomous Mobile Robot under Perturbed Torques by Means of a Chemical Optimization Paradigm

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 294))

Abstract

This paper addresses the tracking problem for the dynamic model of a unicycle mobile robot. A novel optimization method inspired on the chemical reactions is applied to solve this motion problem by integrating a kinematic and a torque controller based on fuzzy logic theory. Computer simulations are presented confirming that this optimization paradigm is able to outperform other optimization techniques applied to this particular robot application.
