Abstract

The biggest success of fuzzy systems in the field of industrial and commercial applications has been achieved with fuzzy controllers. Fuzzy control is a way of defining a nonlinear table-based controller whereas its nonlinear transition function can be defined without specifying every single entry of the table individually. Fuzzy control does not result from classical control engineering approaches. In fact, its roots can be found in the area of rule-based systems. Fuzzy controllers simply comprise a set of vague rules that can be used for knowledge-based interpolation of a vaguely defined function.
