Abstract

Traditional control methods, such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers and linear-quadratic regulators (LQRs), have proven effective for linear and well-modeled systems. However, these methods often perform poorly in nonlinear, complex and dynamic environments. The paper aims to investigate the modern control systems by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine learning (ML), reinforcement learning (RL), deep learning, and fuzzy logic, to enhance their adaptive, robust, and predictive capabilities. And it reviews the literature and analyzes AI integration in control systems. The proposed strategies include supervised learning for trajectory optimization and fault detection, reinforcement learning for optimal control in dynamic environments, neural networks for complex nonlinear function approximation, and fuzzy logic for handling uncertainty and imprecise inputs. AI techniques significantly enhance the ability to tackle nonlinear problems and dynamic changes, demonstrating superior performance in applications like self-driving cars adapting to various road conditions and optimal energy distribution in smart grids. Despite the challenges of computational complexity, scalability, and the safety and reliability in the implementation of interpretable AI models, this paper suggests that hybrid approaches combining traditional control and AI techniques, along with the evolution of interpretable AI and convergence with quantum control, hold great promise for advancing AI-driven control systems.
