Intuitionistic fuzzy logic control for washing machines

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the development of an intuitionistic fuzzy logic controller for washing machine on the basis of intuitionistic fuzzy systems. Intuitionistic fuzzy inference systems and defuzzification techniques are used to obtain crisp output (i.e., wash time of the washing machine) from an intuitionistic fuzzy input (i.e., type of dirt and degree of dirt). The wash time is calculated using intuitionistic fuzzy rules applied to an inference engine using defuzzification methods.
