Fuzzy inference systems provide a simple yet powerful solution to complex non-linear problems, which have been widely and successfully applied in the control field. The TSK-based fuzzy inference approaches, such as the convention TSK, interval type 2 (IT2) TSK and their extensions TSK+ and IT2 TSK+ approaches, are more convenient to be employed in the control field, as they directly produce crisp outputs. This paper systematically reviews those four TSKbased inference approaches, and evaluates them empirically by applying them to a well-known cart centering control problem. The experimental results confirm the power of TSK+ and IT2 TSK+ approaches in enhancing the inference using either dense or sparse rule bases.
