Review of Recent Type-2 Fuzzy Controller Applications

Abstract

Type-2 fuzzy logic controllers (T2 FLC) can be viewed as an emerging class of intelligent controllers because of their abilities in handling uncertainties; in many cases, they have been shown to outperform their Type-1 counterparts. This paper presents a literature review on recent applications of T2 FLCs. To follow the developments in this field, we first review general T2 FLCs and the most well-known interval T2 FLS algorithms that have been used for control design. Certain applications of these controllers include robotic control, bandwidth control, industrial systems control, electrical control and aircraft control. The most promising applications are found in the robotics and automotive areas, where T2 FLCs have been demonstrated and proven to perform better than traditional controllers. With the development of enhanced algorithms, along with the advancement in both hardware and software, we shall witness increasing applications of these frontier controllers.

Evaluation of Students Performance using Hierarchical Fuzzy Inference System

“…Since the popularity of fuzzy logic in 1965 [3], researchers have ventured it's application in soft-computing [4] such as control systems and supply chain [5]; some applied it as the driver of concepts and properties of ontologies in Semantic knowledge representation of uncertainty [6], [7], while others recently applied it in schools for evaluation [8], [9].…”

Hybrid Type-2 Fuzzy-Sliding Mode Controller for Navigation of Mobile Robot in an Environment Containing a Dynamic Target

“…Based on Zadeh's theory, the T2-FLS is an extension of the T1-FLS. The membership function of a T2-FLS is a fuzzy set, unlike the T1-FLS which the membership function is a crisp number [22].…”

Genetic Programming Algorithm for Designing of Control Systems

“…Their aim is to influence the control object in such a way so as to make that object operate in the way it is expected to. In the literature many types of control methods can be found including: adaptive control [37], fuzzy control [12,31], neuro-fuzzy control [29], fuzzy-integral-sliding [50], type-2 fuzzy control [48], internal model control [33], model predictive control [41], neural network control [20], nonlinear feedback linearization control [32], nonlinear optimal control [18], sliding mode control [24], etc. Although new types of controllers are still being sought for, controllers based on correction terms (proportional-integral-derivative-based controllers) still have an important place in control problems.…”
