Abstract

This work investigates the design of a controller for keeping a steel ball suspended in the air. The main function of the controller is to maintain the balance between the magnetic force and the ball’s weight. A PD fuzzy controller is designed for this unstable nonlinear system to maintain the balance between the magnetic force and the ball's weight and to achieve robust stability against model uncertainties.
