The widespread use of dynamic systems has greatly simplified various human-operated
tasks. However, the complex and nonlinear nature of these systems has posed challenges …

A pneumatic actuator is highly nonlinear, which makes the precise position control of this
actuator difficult to achieve. In order to achieve precise control, selecting a suitable model …

Metaheuristics have been acknowledged as an effective solution for many difficult issues
related to optimization. The metaheuristics, especially swarm's intelligence and evolutionary …

This study proposed a Model Predictive Control (MPC) based Laguerre network as a
strategy to control the Intelligent Pneumatic Actuator (IPA) positioning system. This study …

This thesis implements a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm, namely
the modified Multi-Verse Optimizer (mMVO) algorithm, to identify the continuous-time model …

Dead-zone is a major issue that degrades the performance of the positioning control system
in the pneumatic proportional valve control system. In order to address the issue, a switching …
