“…Research is still in progress to mitigate the deficiencies. Control strategy is one such field, with recent publications highlighting the significance of adaptive control (AC) [15], fuzzy control (FC) [16], feedback linearization control (FLC) [17], sliding mode control (SMC), and its improved extension, e.g., merging with proportion integration differentiation (PID) control [18,19], cascade control (CC) [20], etc.…”

Electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) has significance in a variety of industrial tasks. For the purpose of elevating the working performance, we put forward a sliding mode control strategy for EHA operation with a damping variable sliding surface. To start with, a novel sliding mode controller and an extended state observer (ESO) are established to perform the proposed control strategy. Furthermore, based on the modeling of the EHA, simulations are carried out to analyze the working properties of the controller. More importantly, experiments are conducted for performance evaluation based on the simulation results. In comparison to the widely used control strategies, the experimental results establish strong evidence of both overshoot suppression and system rapidity.

“…Fuzzy logic in combination with sliding model control has also been proposed in [14] to account for inherent nonlinearities of hydraulic actuator dynamic model. Metaheuristic approaches have also been successfully employed for the hydraulic actuator control optimization tasks, such as the firefly metaheuristic algorithm [15], and genetic algorithm presented in [16]. Reference [17] proposed a hybrid optimisation algorithm for a hydraulic cylinder pressure self-tuning PID controller, wherein adaptation has been based on particle swarm optimisation (PSO) combined with genetic algorithm (GA).…”

This paper investigates potential uses of a novel direct driven electro-hydraulic systems for articulated forestry tractors (skidders), due to these systems having notably higher energy efficiencies compared to classical electro-hydraulic systems that are currently being used in skidders for steering, lifting the front and the rear plate, as well as for operating the double-drum winch. A detailed analysis of the skidder rear plate mechanism is carried out, and static force profiles of hydraulic cylinders are obtained for the rear plate based on mechanism dynamics and measurement data from the literature. Thus, obtained results have been used to emulate the real-life force profiles in laboratory experiments featuring both the classical and the proposed direct driven hydraulic systems for the purpose of comparative analysis of their energy and fuel efficiency. These results are subsequently used to estimate the skidder fuel consumption and possible fuel savings over the entire vehicle life span for the realistic vehicle utilisation scenario. The main result is that fuel consumption can be reduced up to five times in the case of direct driven hydraulic system, thus effectively resulting in return of investment period of about four years in the case of skidder being retrofitted with direct driven hydraulic system.

“…However, the classical FA has the premature convergence issue for solving computationally extensive engineering problems. Although some modified and hybrid FAs have been proposed [23]- [25], these studies neither qualify the FAs using the Taguchi method nor employ a ranking mutation. This paper employs the robust Taguchi method and mutation operation to improve FA searching performance.…”

This paper presents a collision-free fuzzy formation control strategy of swarm robotic cyberphysical systems (CPSs) using a robust orthogonal firefly algorithm (OFA). The classical FA is fused with the Taguchi method and the ranking mutation process to present a hybrid artificial intelligence. This computational intelligence is employed with the fuzzy theory to develop optimal cyber and cognition levels in swarm robotic CPS 5C architecture. With robotic sensors and actuators, the OFA-fuzzy-based cyber and cognition levels are incorporated with the smart connection, data-to-information conversion, and configuration levels to design a pragmatic swarm robotic CPS using system-on-a-programmable-chip technology. The broadcast distributed control strategy and potential field are employed to address the formation control problem of swarm robotic CPSs with obstacles. In the proposed swarm robotic CPS, the embedded central processing unit, operating system, networking intellectual property (IP), and robotic custom IPs are integrated into field-programmable gate array chips. The experimental results and comparisons with other methods show the merits of the proposed swarm robotic CPS in achieving collision-free distributed formation control.INDEX TERMS CPS, collision-free, robust, firefly algorithm.
