Fuzzy control

Abstract

The basic purpose of any controller is to map a set of input variables onto the values of the control variables so that the desired action control is achieved. Fuzzy logic is an interpolation algorithm that uses a limited set of rules to plot a potentially limitless set of mappings across a control surface. This paper details the success of the Japanese in applying fuzzy control to run a driverless train, and in other products such as cameras, washing machines, cars, etc.
