The development of a fuzzy-logic controller for a class of industrial hydraulic manipulator is described. The main element of the controller is a PI-type fuzzy control technique which utilizes a simple set of membership functions and rules to meet the basic control requirements of such robots. Using the triangle shaped membership function, the position of the servocylinder was successfully controlled. When the system parameter is altered, the control algorithm is shown to be robust and more faster compared to the traditional PID controller. The robustness and tracking ability of the controller were demonstrated through simulations.
