Fuzzy Control

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Springer Handbooks ((SHB))

Abstract

Fuzzy control is by far the most successful field of applied fuzzy logic. This chapter discusses human-inspired concepts of fuzzy control. After a short introduction to classical control engineering, three types of very well known fuzzy control concepts are presented: Mamdani-Assilian, Takagi-Sugeno and fuzzy logic-based controllers. Then three real-world fuzzy control applications are discussed. The chapter ends with a conclusion and a future perspective.
