Abstract
Via mobile sensing measurements, this study applies the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model to deal with the mobile fuzzy control design problem for nonlinear time-delay parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems. Initially, we use a T-S fuzzy model to accurately represent the nonlinear time-delay parabolic PDE system. Subsequently, under the assumption that the actuators and sensors are collocated while the spatial domain is divided by several subdomains, a control scheme containing the fuzzy controllers and the guidance of mobile actuator/sensor pairs is proposed based on the obtained T-S fuzzy model, where the projection modification guidance to be designed can guarantee that each mobile actuator/sensor pair moves within the prescribed area. Then, using the Lyapunov direct method and integral inequalities, a membership-function-dependent design of fuzzy controllers plus mobile actuator/sensor guidance laws is developed to render the resulting closed-loop time-delay system exponentially stable. Moreover, the exponential decay rate can also be increased by the proposed mobile guidance laws. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method and the application of mobile actuator/sensor pairs contributes to accelerating the convergence speed of the closed-loop state.
