Fuzzy Chip Controllers and Wireless Links in Smart Structures

This paper summarizes some authors’ developments on the design and implementation of fuzzy chip controllers and wireless sensor networks. The design of a fuzzy controller is first discussed in detail. Then a section presents the embedded software that has been developed for the microcontroller. A few considerations on how to provide the system with a wireless networking capability are provided and two architectures are discussed. Extensive tests of the fuzzy controller are shown in order to report the advances achieved in this field.
