This paper introduces a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based optimization for rule base and scaling factors adjustment to enhance the performance of fuzzy logic controllers. First a recursive rule base adjustment algorithm is developed, which has the benefit that it is computationally more efficient for the generation of a decision table. Then utilizing the advantage of GA optimization, a novel approach that each random combination of the optimized parameters (including the membership function selection for the rule base and controller scaling factors) is coded into a Real Coded string and treated as a chromosome in genetic algorithms is given. The optimization for rule base with the correspondent membership function and scaling factors using GA is easy to be realization in engineering. Simulation results are presented to support this thesis.
