Fuzzy PID Control for Fast-Steering Mirror System

Fast-steering mirror system demands higher accuracy and fast responding speed to track targets, but the conventional PID controllers cannot meet the demands. Instead, the fuzzy PID control can greatly improve the capturing and tracking capacities to high-speed dynamic targets. So we apply the fuzzy-PID controller in the positioning loop of the stabilized system, not only improving the transient process of the control system and decreasing the overshoot, but also enhancing the accuracy of tracking stabilization and response. At the end, simulations were performed to test the effectiveness of this method through the MATLAB platform. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
