This topic is the subject of two articles.
The first paragraph of
reviewed the principles and definitions of multi-input, multi-output fuzzy systems and controllers (MEMS or MIMO, for Multi-inputs – Multi-Outputs). A detailed algorithm for software and hardware implementation was then presented.
In the second paragraph of
, we first dealt with the synthesis of fuzzy controllers, presenting a set of rules of thumb and the most common structures for PID-type fuzzy controllers; we then turned our attention to the tuning of fuzzy controllers using: either a qualitative tuning method, or an autotuning method modelled on the Ziegler-Nichols approach defined for conventional controllers.
The first paragraph of this article describes a concrete experimental application on a chopper-devolver.
Finally, we'll conclude this article with a summary of the main ideas developed here, some possible industrial solutions for the practical realization of a fuzzy system or controller, and an overview of current research in this field.
