A novel robust liquid level controller for coupled-tanks systems using artificial hydrocarbon networks

作者：

Highlights：

• A fuzzy-molecular based controller for coupled-tanks systems is proposed.

• Performance of our controller is higher over conventional PID controllers.

• Our controller is robust for different discharge rate levels at the secondary tank.

• Tracking and robustness experiments showed a steady-state error of 1 mm, in average.
