This study presents a self-organizing interval type-2 fuzzy asymmetric cerebellar model articulation controller (MSIT2FAC) design for synchronizing chaotic satellite systems that use a modified grey wolf optimizer. The proposed control system uses MSIT2FAC as the main controller (which mimics an ideal controller) and a robust compensation controller (which addresses the approximation error between the ideal controller and the main controller). The self-organizing algorithm is used to generate the first network layer. In subsequent iterations, it autonomously increases or decreases the number of network layers using the tracking error. The adaptive laws for adjusting the parameters for the fuzzy rule for the proposed system are derived using the gradient descent method. The optimal learning rates for the adaptive laws are achieved using a modified grey wolf optimizer. The Lyapunov stability analysis guarantees the stability of the proposed algorithm. Finally, the numerical simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
