Observer-Based Adaptive Event-Triggered Fractional-Order Sliding Mode Control Using Online Fractional-Order Learning Approach

Abstract This project introduces an innovative adaptive event-triggered control strategy (ETS) for networked uncertain nonlinear systems with unmeasured states. The proposed method, called ETFFSMC-FAC, combines a fractional-order fuzzy sliding mode controller with a fractional-order actor-critic (FAC) approach. Initially, unmeasured states are estimated using a sigma-point Kalman filter (SKF)

Fractional-order Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control of Uncertain Nonlinear MIMO Systems Using Fractional-order Reinforcement Learning

Abstract This project presents a novel approach to enhance the control performance of unknown multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems. The proposed method integrates a fractional-order fuzzy sliding mode controller with online fractional-order reinforcement learning (FOFSMC-FRL). The controller utilizes two Takagi–Sugeno–Kang (TSK) fuzzy neural network actors to approximate the

Optimal Fractional-Order PID Controller based on Fractional-Order Actor-Critic Algorithm

Abstract This project proposes an online optimization approach for a fractional-order PID controller using a fractional-order actor-critic algorithm (FOPID-FOAC), aiming to enhance the performance of nonlinear systems. The FOPID-FOAC scheme combines the advantages of fractional-order PID controllers and actor-critic reinforcement learning algorithms. The proposed FOAC algorithm employs fractional

Optimization of Solar Tree Performance in Egypt: A Simulation-Based Investigation

Abstract This project explores the optimization of solar tree performance in Egypt through the orientation and positioning of solar panels. Solar energy is a crucial and abundant resource in Egypt, and the paper proposes the use of solar trees as a promising solution to harness this energy efficiently. The design process involves two main aspects: optimizing the orientation of solar panels and

Be a Civil Engineer for a Day Workshop

The Civil and Construction Engineering program at Nile University hosted a unique workshop titled "Be a Civil Engineer for a Day." The event aimed to provide high school students with an exciting glimpse into civil engineering through interactive and hands-on experiments. With over 100 applications received, predominantly from STEM and international school students, the workshop offered a range of engaging activities. Participants tackled the Spaghetti Tower Challenge, where they designed and built stable towers using uncooked spaghetti and glue, exploring structural and load distribution
