RECEDING HORIZON FUZZY OPTIMIZATION UNDER LOCAL INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT WITH A CASE STUDY

摘要

Model predictive control (MPC) has been used in process control systems with constraints; however, the constrained optimization problem involved in control systems has generally been solved in practice in a piece-meal fashion, To solve the problem systemically, in this paper, the Multi-Objective Fuzzy-Optimization (MOFO) is used in the constrained predictive control for online applications as a means of dealing with fuzzy goals and fuzzy constraints in control systems. The conventional model predictive control is integrated with the techniques from fuzzy multi-criteria decision making, translating the goals and the constraints to predictive control in a transparent way, The information regarding the fuzzy goals and the fuzzy constraints of the control problem is combined by using a decision function from the fuzzy theory, so it is possible to aggregate the fuzzy goals and the fuzzy constraints using fuzzy operators, e.g.. t-norms, s-norms or the convex sum. It is shown that the model predictive controller based on MOFO allows the designers for a more flexible aggregation of the control objectives than the usual weighting sum of squared errors in MPC. The visual robot path planning validates the efficiency of the presented algorithm.
