What is intelligent control
• Traditional or classical control
– Model a system using TF method
– Linearize it
– Design linear controller
– Test performance and iterate until desired performance is
achieved
• Modern control
– State space modeling
– Optimal control
– Digital control
– Nonlinear control theories
What is intelligent control
• Drawbacks of conventional control
– Low performance in complex systems
• Emergence of soft computing techniques
– Fuzzy logic system
– Neural network systems
– Other AI based optimization techniques
What is intelligent control
• Definitions
– Is a new paradigm that incorporates human knowledge
as an important element in control system design
– Intelligent control combines theories and methods from
other disciplines including artificial intelligence, modern
adaptive control, learning theory, fuzzy logic and neural
networks.
– Should combine
• Control theory
• Neural, fuzzy or AI system
• One or more optimization techniques
What is intelligent control
• Intelligent control is the use of general-
purpose control systems, which learn over
time how to achieve goals (or optimize) in
complex, noisy, nonlinear environments
whose dynamics must ultimately be learned in
real time
Intelligent control and autonomous systems
