Interpolative Fuzzy Reasoning and Fuzzy Automata in Adaptive System Applications

One view of hybrid control, or multiple objective, behaviour-based control systems is a kind of strategy reconfiguration – an intelligent adaptation of the system to the actual situation. In case of hybrid control it is an actual situation dependent discrete strategy (controller) changing, while in behaviour-based control systems it is a discrete switching to the most appropriate strategy or a kind of fusion of the strategies appeared to be the most appropriate ones in an actual situation. In this paper we suggest a strategy reconfiguration structure, which based on fuzzy interpolative fusion of different strategies in the function of the actual necessity of the corresponding strategies approximated by a fuzzy automata. For introducing some of the possible application areas of the proposed structure, a behaviour-based vehicle control, a fault tolerant control and a user adaptive emotion-based (Kansei) selection system application is also introduced shortly in this paper.
