This paper presents a fuzzy PID control scheme with a real-valued genetic algorithm (RGA) to a setpoint control problem. The objective of this paper is to control a twin rotor MIMO system (TRMS) to move quickly and accurately to the desired attitudes, both the pitch angle and the azimuth angle in a cross-coupled condition. A fuzzy compensator is applied to the PID controller. The proposed control structure includes four PID controllers with independent inputs in 2-DOF. In order to reduce total error and control energy, all parameters of the controller are obtained by a RGA with the system performance index as a fitness function. The system performance index utilized the integral of time multiplied by the square error criterion (ITSE) to build a suitable fitness function in the RGA. A new method for RGA to solve more than 10 parameters in the control scheme is investigated. For real-time control, Xilinx Spartan II SP200 FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is employed to construct a hardware-in-the-loop system through writing VHDL on this FPGA.

Complex aerodynamic characteristics and optimal control during the attitude transition of tilt-powered coaxial twin-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent key challenges in flight control design. This study investigates aerodynamic mechanisms and control parameter optimization during the transition of UAVs from vertical to forward flight. By establishing a dynamic model and combining theoretical and numerical analyses, the optimal rotor spacing is determined to be h = 0.

Control of the family of systems that can be represented in the Euler Lagrange (EL) form is both challenging from a theoretical perspective and applicable to a broad spectrum of real systems. For this type of control problem, given that any parameter estimation error and disturbances are not directly addressed, the system performance deteriorates, and stability cannot be deduced in advance. Considering these issues, this work presents the design and the corresponding analysis of a saturation function based, model-free, continuous robust controller for mechanical systems represented in the EL form.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines the challenges of using waste polyester fibers (PET fibers) to create strong fiber-reinforced composites with high fiber content and better fiber length retention.
  • - Using a twin-rotor continuous mixer significantly improved the mechanical properties of the composites, resulting in increases of 21% in tensile strength and 13% in flexural strength at 60 wt% fiber content compared to a twin-screw extruder.
  • - The twin-rotor continuous mixer also produced longer fibers, with an average increase of 32% in fiber length, due to its lower shear frequency and higher tensile ratio, highlighting its effectiveness for these composites.

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common heart rhythm disorder, may cause stroke and heart failure. For patients with persistent AF with fibrosis proliferation, the standard AF treatment-pulmonary vein isolation-has poor outcomes, necessitating redo procedures, owing to insufficient understanding of what constitutes good targets in fibrotic substrates. Here we present a prospective clinical and personalized digital twin study that characterizes the arrhythmogenic properties of persistent AF substrates and uncovers locations possessing rotor-attracting capabilities.
