Systematic Design of Fuzzy Controllers Using Inductive Reasoning

Abstract

In this paper, a new systematic design methodology for fuzzy controller design is presented. For any desired plant output, it is possible to find the optimal plant input that will produce a plant output that is as close as possible to the desired plant output. However, this constitutes an open-loop design. In this paper, a new methodology is introduced that allows to compute a signal that is close to the optimal plant input as a function of system inputs and plant outputs. To this end, an inductive reasoning model is created that estimates the optimal plant input from given system inputs and plant outputs. The inductive reasoning model can be interpreted and realized as a fuzzy controller. Thereby, a large portion of the controller is realized through feedback, and the previous open-loop design is converted to an equivalent and more robust closed-loop design.
