Artificial pancreas is a device that can regulate this concentration and turn the behavior to normal. The human regulatory system can be modeled using differential equations; their order could be integer or fractional. In this work, we examine the accuracy of fractional-order modeling of the minimal model using real data, then robust control techniques are implemented. First, a model reference indirect adaptive controller is designed using two approaches: integer order approach and fractional-order approach, then a fractional-order sliding mode controller is implemented with a robust sliding mode observer to estimate the glucose concentration in the blood. The controller is tuned by a genetic optimization algorithm. Finally, a Neuro fuzzy controller. Several robustness tests are presented (Meal simulation) and evaluated using different types of errors’ criteria.

This thesis develops an integrated framework that combines probabilistic estimation and nonlinear control strategies to enhance performance and robust- ness. An approach based on the particle filter (PF) is employed to improve state estimation ac- curacy and detect icing-related faults by analyzing variations in system parameters. For robust trajectory tracking in uncertain flight conditions, the proposed control scheme combines a high-order sliding mode observer (HOSMO) with the super-twisting algorithms (STA), effectively managing disturbances and model variations. At the multi-agent level, a distributed control strategy is introduced, utilizing finite-time observers and controllers within a leader–follower structure to enable fast and coordinated group behavior. The thesis demonstrates the effec- tiveness of the proposed methods in enhancing fault detection capabilities, control robustness, and ensuring reliable multi-UAV coordination.

Two strategies—FOPID and FOSMC—are developed and tuned using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Simulation results show that fractional-order controllers offer superior performance over classical methods in terms of robustness, disturbance rejection, and handling system nonlinearities.

In response to the growing scarcity of freshwater resources, RO technology offers a viable and sustainable solution. The first phase involves the development of a dynamic model based on experimental data, accurately capturing the interactions between key variables such as feed pressure, pH, permeate flow rate, and conductivity. Two control strategies are explored : Model Predictive Control (MPC), implemented on both decoupled and multivariable models, and classical PID control, including an improved IMC-PID version. The results obtained highlight the performance, robustness, and limitations of each control approach under model uncertainties Description: Mémoire de Projet de Fin d’Études:Automatique: Alger, École Nationale Polytechnique : 2025 Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT http://repository.enp.edu.dz/jspui/handle/123456789/11219 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
