Expert System: Example
• MYCIN
It can identify various bacteria that can cause severe infections and can also
recommend drugs based on the person’s weight.
• DENDRAL
An AI-based expert system used for chemical analysis.
• R1/XCON
It could select specific software to generate a computer system wished by the
user.
• PXDES
It could easily determine the type and the degree of lung cancer in a patient
based on the data.
• CaDet
It is a clinical support system that could identify cancer in its early stages in
patients.
• DXplain
It was also a clinical support system that could suggest a variety of diseases
based on the findings of the doctor.
Robotics
• Science,
engineering and
technology that
produces machines,
called robots, that
substitute for (or
replicate) human
actions.

Fuzzy Logic
• An approach to computing based on "degrees
of truth" rather than the usual "true or false"
(1 or 0) Boolean 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.
Example of a Fuzzy Logic System
• Let us consider an air
conditioning system
with 5-level fuzzy
logic system.
• This system adjusts
the temperature of
air conditioner by
comparing the room
temperature and the
target temperature
value.
