Abstract

Four Fractional/Integer Order Fuzzy Proportional Integral Derivative controller structures are designed in this study to successfully control a nonlinear, coupled, multi-input, multi-output, three-link rigid robotic manipulator system. The performance of Fractional Order Fuzzy Proportional Integral Derivative and Integer Order Fuzzy Proportional Integral Derivative controllers is evaluated for reference trajectory tracking, changing beginning circumstances, disturbance rejection, and model uncertainty. These controllers' parameters are tuned using a meta-heuristic optimization approach called the most valuable player algorithm for the objective function, which is defined as the integral of the time-squared error. Simulation results show that the suggested Fractional Order Fuzzy Proportional Integral Derivative controllers outperform Integer Order Fuzzy Proportional Integral Derivative controllers for tracking performance, stability, and robustness for all structures. Fractional Order Fuzzy Proportional Derivative Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative controller is the best one for trajectory tracking, disturbances rejection, and parameter variation with the least integral of time square error equal to 2.7420×10-6, 3.4×10-3 and 2.0108×10-4 respectively and the response of the angular position for all links for trajectory tracking has minimum settling time which is equal to 0.0290 s for the first link, 0.0160 s for the second link and 0.0050 s for the third link. When the initial condition is changed, the One Block Fractional Order Fuzzy Proportional Integral Derivative controller is the best one, since the integral of time square error is minimum and equal to 1.6253×10-4.
