Diseño de controladores de tipo proporcional integral derivativo (PID) y difuso para la posición de un motor de corriente continua (DC).

The performance of PID and fuzzy controllers is compared in a commercial device normally used in model airplanes: the S3004 Futaba Servo. The controller circuit, the power amplifier and the sensor are modified, and then the motor is observed. Next, a root-locus method is used to tune a PID for angular position control. Simulations and control are made in Matlab's Simulink, and also a data acquisition card (PCI 6024E) is used. Results are analyzed at the end of the document: although the PID controller works better, the fuzzy controller shows a similar performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
