Fuzzy Controller Design: Theory and Applications

The book presents clear, practical, easy-to-use methods for designing and implementing fuzzy control systems. It addresses the heuristic nature of fuzzy controller design and methods to overcome the resulting problems. It examines the design of hybrid, adaptive, and self-learning fuzzy control structures. It explains original concepts and methods such as phase-plane-based initial presetting, sensitivity model-based self-organization, and PLC-based implementation. It provides easy-to-follow worked examples in MATLAB. The final chapter explores industrial applications with emphasis on techniques for fuzzy controller implementation and different implementation platforms for various applications.
