Application of Fuzzy Logic

Fuzzy logic is a form of logic that allows intermediate values between conventional assessments of true and false. It is used in control systems to manage complexity and ambiguity. Some key applications of fuzzy logic include temperature control, washing machines, air conditioners, image stabilization, aerospace systems, automotive systems like anti-lock brakes, and industrial process control.

APPLICATION OF FUZZY

LOGIC
WHAT IS FUZZY LOGIC?

 Fuzzy Logic (FL) is a method of reasoning that


resembles human reasoning. The approach of FL
imitates the way of decision making in humans that
involves all intermediate possibilities between digital
values YES and NO.

 The conventional logic block that a computer can


understand takes precise input and produces a
definite output as TRUE or FALSE, which is
equivalent to human’s YES or NO.
What is Fuzzy Logic?
Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic; it deals
with reasoning that is approximate rather than fixed
and exact. In contrast with traditional logic theory,
where binary sets have two-valued logic: true or false,
fuzzy logic variables may have a truth value that
ranges in degree

between 0 and 1
What is Fuzzy Logic?
Fuzzy logic has been extended to handle the concept of
partial truth, where the truth value may range
between completely true and completely
false. Furthermore, when linguistic variables are
used, these degrees may be managed by specific
functions.
Fuzzy Logic began

Fuzzy logic began with the 1965 proposal


of fuzzy set theory by Lotfi Zadeh Fuzzy logic
has been applied to many fields, from control
theory to artificial intelligence
Lotfi A. Zadeh, a professor of UC Berkeley in California,
soon to be known as the founder of fuzzy logic observed that
conventional computer logic was incapable of manipulating
data representing subjective or vague human ideas such as "an
attractive person" .
 Fuzzy logic, hence was designed to allow computers to
determine the distinctions among data with shades of gray,
similar to the process of human reasoning.
 This theory proposed making the membership function (or
the values False and True) operate over the range of real
numbers [0.0, 1.0]. Fuzzy logic was now introduced to the
world.

Rules :-

 Fuzzy logic usually uses IF-THEN rules, or


constructs that
are equivalent.
-IF variable IS property THEN action
Example:-
A simple temperature regulator that uses a fan might
look like this:
IF temperature IS very cold THEN stop fan
IF temperature IS cold THEN turn down fan
IF temperature IS normal THEN maintain level
IF temperature IS hot THEN speed up fan
FUZZY LOGIC IN CONTROL SYSTEMS

 Fuzzy Logic provides a more efficient and


resourceful way to solve Control Systems.

 Some Examples

 Temperature Controller

 Anti – Lock Break System ( ABS )


TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
 The problem
 Change the speed of a heater fan, based off the room
temperature and humidity.
 A temperature control system has four settings
 Cold, Cool, Warm, and Hot
 Humidity can be defined by:
 Low, Medium, and High
 Using this we can define
the fuzzy set.
Fuzzy Logic in a Washing Machine

 Fuzzy logic washing machines are gaining popularity. These machines


offer the advantages of performance, productivity, simplicity,
productivity, and less cost. Sensors continually monitor varying
conditions inside the machine and accordingly adjust operations for
the best wash results. As there is no standard for fuzzy logic, different
machines perform in different manners.
 Fuzzy logic controls the washing process, water intake, water
temperature, wash time, rinse performance, and spin speed. This
optimizes the life span of the washing machine.

 Machines even learn from past experience, memorizing programs


and adjusting them to minimize running costs.

 Most fuzzy logic machines feature ‘one touch control’. Equipped with
energy saving features .

The fuzzy logic checks for the extent of dirt and grease, the amount of soap
and water to add, direction of spin, and so on.

 The machine rebalances washing load to ensure correct spinning. Else, it


reduces spinning speed if an imbalance is detected. Even distribution of
washing load reduces spinning noise. Neurofuzzy logic incorporates
optical sensors to sense the dirt in water and a fabric sensor to detect the
type of fabric and accordingly adjust wash cycle.

“Ifall motion vectors are almost parallel and their time differential
is small, then the hand jittering is detected and the direction of the
hand movement is in the direction of the moving vectors”.
