A spintronic memristor crossbar array for fuzzy control with application in the water valves control system

Fuzzy control, an intelligent control method, is generally employed to deal with complex nonlinear controlled objects that cannot be expressed by accurate mathematical model. Memristor, whose unique advantages are automatic successive memory and nonvolatility, brought new opportunity for solving the key question of fuzzy control. With the design idea of software harden, this paper first constructed membership function in the fuzzy controller based on the unique feature of crossbar array of the spintronic memristor and elaborated the whole construction process. After that, this paper simulated the construction process with MATLAB simulation software, verifying its reasonability and feasibility. Furthermore, a typical fuzzy control water tank system was chosen to explore and discuss the flexibility of spintronic memristor crossbar array in the real-time control system, and the proposed control strategy and the typical fuzzy control strategy were compared. The results revealed that the proposed control strategy was able to attain the effectiveness of the typical fuzzy control system in the real-time control system. This sets light to future research on the implementation of memristor crossbar array in the real-time control system and also promotes the application of fuzzy controller design idea. The problems needed to be solved when implementing memristor crossbar array in the real-time control system were discussed in the final section.
