Integrating fuzzy logic technology into control systems
GLEN CUNNINGHAM, ERIK HORSTKOTTE, Daniel C. Bochsler · Navigation and Control Conference · 1991
Among the developments influencing design of control systems are increased levels of functionality needed and new technologies available for implementingthose needs. Thecontinued maturingofnew hardware and software technologies provides more numerous choices for providing design solutions. Fuzzy Logic technology is representative of a technology choice which can have a dual identity, appearing in either a hardware or software implementation form. Such an end-to-end capability enables well integrated engineering solutions to be achieved by matching technology to the need. Obviously, a well engineered, successful system is the desired end product. This paper will present a brief overview o f fuzzy logic technology characteristics and then lead into a discussion of system design considerations. Examples of alternative operational implementations will be presented.
