Fuzzy-logic-based control, filtering, and fault detection for networked systems: A Survey
This paper is concerned with the overview of the recent progress in fuzzy-logic-based filtering, control, and fault detection problems. First, the network technologies are introduced, the networked control systems are categorized from the aspects of fieldbuses and industrial Ethernets, the necessity of utilizing the fuzzy logic is justified, and the network-induced phenomena are discussed. Then, the fuzzy logic control strategies are reviewed in great detail. Special attention is given to the thorough examination on the latest results for fuzzy PID control, fuzzy adaptive control, and fuzzy tracking control problems. Furthermore, recent advances
on the fuzzy-logic-based filtering and fault detection problems are reviewed. Finally, conclusions are given and some possible future research directions are pointed out, for example, topics on two-dimensional networked systems, wireless networked control systems, Quality-of-Service (QoS) of networked systems, and fuzzy access control in open networked systems.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301,

Design and implementation of fuzzy logic controllers
The main objectives of our research are to present a self-contained overview of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, develop a methodology for control system design using fuzzy logic controllers, and to design and implement a fuzzy logic controller for a real system. We first present the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy sets and basic fuzzy operations are defined. In addition, for control systems, it is important to understand the concepts of linguistic values, term sets, fuzzy rule base, inference methods, and defuzzification methods. Second, we introduce a four-step fuzzy logic control system design procedure. The design procedure is illustrated via four examples, showing the capabilities and robustness of fuzzy logic control systems. This is followed by a tuning procedure that we developed from our design experience. Third, we present two Lyapunov based techniques for stability analysis. Finally, we present our design and implementation of a fuzzy logic controller for a linear actuator to be used to control the direction of the Free Flight Rotorcraft Research Vehicle at LaRC
Summary report: A preliminary investigation into the use of fuzzy logic for the control of redundant manipulators
The Rice University Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Sciences' Robotics Group designed and built an eight degree of freedom redundant manipulator. Fuzzy logic was proposed as a control scheme for tasks not directly controlled by a human operator. In preliminary work, fuzzy logic control was implemented for a camera tracking system and a six degree of freedom manipulator. Both preliminary systems use real time vision data as input to fuzzy controllers. Related projects include integration of tactile sensing and fuzzy control of a redundant snake-like arm that is under construction
An Intelligent Traction Control for Motorcycles
The appearance of anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and traction control systems
(TCS) have been some of the most major developments in vehicle safety. These systems have
been evolving since their origin, always keeping the same objective, by using increasingly
sophisticated algorithms and complex brake and torque control architectures. The aim of this
work is to develop and implement a new control model of a traction control system to be
installed on a motorcycle, regulating the slip in traction and improving dynamic performance of
two-wheeled vehicles. This paper presents a novel traction control algorithm based on the use of
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic. An ANN is used to estimate the optimal
slip of the surface the vehicle is moving on. A fuzzy logic control block, which makes use of the
optimal slip provided by the ANN, is developed to control the throttle position. Two control
blocks have been tuned. The first control block has been tuned according to the experience of an
expert operator. The second one has been optimized using Evolutionary Computation (EC).
Simulation shows that the use of EC can improve the fuzzy logic based control algorithm,
obtaining better results than those produced with the control tuned only by experience.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucÃa Tech
Fuzzy logic applications to expert systems and control
A considerable amount of work on the development of fuzzy logic algorithms and application to space related control problems has been done at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) over the past few years. Particularly, guidance control systems for space vehicles during proximity operations, learning systems utilizing neural networks, control of data processing during rendezvous navigation, collision avoidance algorithms, camera tracking controllers, and tether controllers have been developed utilizing fuzzy logic technology. Several other areas in which fuzzy sets and related concepts are being considered at JSC are diagnostic systems, control of robot arms, pattern recognition, and image processing. It has become evident, based on the commercial applications of fuzzy technology in Japan and China during the last few years, that this technology should be exploited by the government as well as private industry for energy savings

Fuzzy logic control system to provide autonomous collision avoidance for Mars rover vehicle
NASA is currently involved with planning unmanned missions to Mars to investigate the terrain and process soil samples in advance of a manned mission. A key issue involved in unmanned surface exploration on Mars is that of supporting autonomous maneuvering since radio communication involves lengthy delays. It is anticipated that specific target locations will be designated for sample gathering. In maneuvering autonomously from a starting position to a target position, the rover will need to avoid a variety of obstacles such as boulders or troughs that may block the shortest path to the target. The physical integrity of the rover needs to be maintained while minimizing the time and distance required to attain the target position. Fuzzy logic lends itself well to building reliable control systems that function in the presence of uncertainty or ambiguity. The following major issues are discussed: (1) the nature of fuzzy logic control systems and software tools to implement them; (2) collision avoidance in the presence of fuzzy parameters; and (3) techniques for adaptation in fuzzy logic control systems
A Novel Fuzzy Logic Based Adaptive Supertwisting Sliding Mode Control Algorithm for Dynamic Uncertain Systems
This paper presents a novel fuzzy logic based Adaptive Super-twisting Sliding
Mode Controller for the control of dynamic uncertain systems. The proposed
controller combines the advantages of Second order Sliding Mode Control, Fuzzy
Logic Control and Adaptive Control. The reaching conditions, stability and
robustness of the system with the proposed controller are guaranteed. In
addition, the proposed controller is well suited for simple design and
implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed controller over the first
order Sliding Mode Fuzzy Logic controller is illustrated by Matlab based
simulations performed on a DC-DC Buck converter. Based on this comparison, the
proposed controller is shown to obtain the desired transient response without
causing chattering and error under steady-state conditions. The proposed
controller is able to give robust performance in terms of rejection to input
voltage variations and load variations.Comment: 14 page
Fuzzy logic applied to system control to enhance commercial appliance performance
The purpose of this research is to determine the usefulness of fuzzy logic and fuzzy control when applied to a commercial appliance. Fuzzy logic is a structured, model-free estimator that approximates a function through linguistic input/output associations. Fuzzy rule-based systems apply these methods to solve many types of real-world problems, especially where a system is difficult to model, is controlled by a human operator or expert, or where ambiguity or vagueness is common.
This dissertation presents fuzzy sets, fuzzy systems, and fuzzy control, with an example conveying the use of fuzzy control of a consumer product and an overview of fuzzy logic in the field of artificial intelligence. Ultimately, it demonstrates that the use of fuzzy systems makes a viable addition to the field of artificial intelligence and, perhaps, more generally to the application of other consumer products to reduce energy consumption and increase the ease of operation.
Topics such as classical logic, set theory, fuzzy set theory, and fuzzy mathematics are developed in this research to provide a foundation in fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is an excellent development of a basic home appliance to provide a powerful and user-friendly device. Fuzzy logic allows an engineer without a great knowledge of control systems and mathematical modeling a viable alternative in product creation. The fuzzy logic toolbox of the program MATLAB\sp{\rm TM} developed by The Mathworks Corporation is used to build and test the fuzzy logic systems explored by this dissertation.
Again, in this dissertation the concept of fuzzy logic shall be explored in detail. Background and theoretical information shall be derived to provide a good base for applications. Classical logic, crisp sets, fuzzy sets, and operations on fuzzy sets are explained in order to cover a wide spectrum of applications. The focus or cumulating point will be to apply the fuzzy logic principle to any type of consumer appliance (such as a washing machine). The use of fuzzy logic will allow many household goods to be manufactured more quickly and with more options, and be energy efficient, user friendly, and cost effective
