Fuzzy logic control

This chapter presents the concept offuzzy sets andfuzzy logic control and how this may be adopted in the control offlexible manipulator systems. An overview offuzzy logic control comprising the general structure and constituent components is presented. This is followed by a detailed outline of generic process of design offuzzy controllers. A set of case studies demonstrating the design and implementation of fuzzy logic control types for flexible manipulator systems is then presented and discussed.
