In recent years, as fractional calculus becomes more and more broadly used in research
across different academic disciplines, there are increasing demands for the numerical tools …

This paper analyses the most significant issues that have been recently been addressed by
researchers in the field of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers. In particular, the …

In the paper recent design and tuning methods of PID controllers are summarized briefly.
Several decades have seen the widely application of PID controllers and the design and …

Foundations of Fuzzy Control: A Practical Approach, 2nd Edition has been significantly
revised and updated, with two new chapters on Gain Scheduling Control and Neurofuzzy …

This paper presents a new tuning method for fractional-order (FO) PID controllers to simplify
current tuning and make FOPID controllers more convenient for industry, ie facilitate …

Looking back 30 years ago, the advances in teaching have accompanied the technology
evolution. As soon as the technology progressed, new teaching tools began to appear. This …

In this paper we present an interactive software tool that can be used to learn how to design
a PIDA controller. After having selected a process model, the user can modify the controller …

The advance in control engineering education needs well-designed studies that validate
what methods and tools work best. This paper addresses the lack of empirical evidence …

A new developed tool for PID learning is described on this work. The main contribution is the
possibility to assist non-experimented users on the PID tuning task. For its implementation …

This paper presents an interactive module for learning both the fundamental and practical
issues of servo systems. This module, developed using Simulink in conjunction with the …
