FUZZY INFERENCE, ITS APPLICATION TO ROBOT CONTROL, AND FUZZY MICROPROCESSOR

Kaoru Hirota, Hosei University, and Takeshi Yamakawa, Kumamoto University


Fuzzy  inference (or approximate reasoning) is an important theoretical tool in
real industrial applications of fuzzy theory; e.g. automatic control of  subway
trains,  automatic  speed control of cars, water purification system, ...  When
we use fuszzy inference, a knowledge base consists of a small number  of  fuzzy
production  rules.    In  this  short  lecture,  foundations of fuzzy inference
technqiues are introduced first, then followed by the outline of robot  control
applications.    Also  presented  is  a  micro processor in linear mode (not in
binary digital mode) on a semi-conductor chip for real time processing of fuzzy
informations.
