Charged-Coupled Device (CCD) Camera can be used as an optical position sensor to determine the location of the hot spot on the sensor surface in two dimensions. A CCD camera is a video camera with a coupled device (CCD), which is an integrated circuit transistor light sensor with a high quantum efficiency, minimal noise, large dynamic range, linear response, and little geometric distortion. The CCD camera is a digital camera that enables taking visual information and converting it into an image or video. CCD cameras are widely used due to their ability to take images in low light. The control system employed in this study is based on a novel and modern closed-loop algorithm that allows for precise tracking of the hotspot's location and speed used in the measurement of a specific physical process. The proposed control model is controlled around the brightest area using two controllers, the Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller (PID) and the Neuro-Fuzzy controller with feedback through the CCD sensor, as well as the use of a Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor for position and speed control with two feedback loops. To verify the validity of the proposed system, it was found that the algorithm will achieve a better rise time and reduce the maximum overshoot.
