Inductive Reasoning Supports the Design of Fuzzy Controllers
Abstract
In this paper, a new systematic design methodology for fuzzy controllers is
presented. For any desired plant output, it is possible to find off-line the
optimal plant input that will produce a plan output that is as close as possible
to the desired one. However, this constitutes an open-loop design. In this
paper, a new methodology is introduced that allows to compute on-line 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. The inductive reasoning technique is described
in detail in the first part of this paper. An example is shown in the second
part of the paper in order to demonstrate the validity of the chosen approach.
