A fuzzy logic controller equipped with a training algorithm is developed such that the H∞ tracking performance should be satisfied for a model free nonlinear multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) system with external disturbances. In this paper, a new indirect adaptive interval type-2 fuzzy controller by using fuzzy descriptions to model the plant is proposed to handle the training data corrupte...

In this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. The majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. This requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...

In this paper, we present the theory and design of interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (FLSs). We propose an efficient and simplified method to compute the input and antecedent operations for interval type-2 FLSs; one that is based on a general inference formula for them. We introduce the concept of upper and lower membership functions (MFs) and illustrate our efficient inference method for the...

In this paper an Interval Type2 Fuzzy Logic (IT2FL) controller is proposed for the control of DC-DC converters to attain a good output voltage regulation and dynamic response. The buck and boost type DC-DC converters are considered for the implementation of the IT2FL controller. To study the effects on the system performance, the conventional PI and type-1 fuzzy controller are designed and comp...

Navigation of autonomous mobile robots in dynamic and unknown environments needs to take into account different kinds of uncertainties. Type-1 fuzzy logic research has been largely used in the control of mobile robots. However, type-1 fuzzy control presents limitations in handling those uncertainties as it uses precise fuzzy sets. Indeed type-1 fuzzy sets cannot deal with linguistic and numeric...

Problem statement: Software development effort estimation is the process of predicting the most realistic use of effort required for developing software based on some parameters. It has always characterized one of the biggest challenges in Computer Science for the last decades. Because time and cost estimate at the early stages of the software development are the most difficult to obtain and th...

In this paper, we present a type-2 fuzzy logic based system for robustly extracting the human silhouette which is a fundamental and important procedure for advanced video processing applications, such as pedestrian tracking, human activity analysis and event detection. The presented interval type-2 fuzzy logic system is able to detach moving objects from extracted human silhouette in dynamic en...

Fuzzy clustering is well known as a robust and efficient way to reduce computation cost to obtain the better results. In the literature, many robust fuzzy clustering models have been presented such as Fuzzy C-Mean (FCM) and Possibilistic C-Mean (PCM), where these methods are Type-I Fuzzy clustering. Type-II Fuzzy sets, on the other hand, can provide better performance than Type-I Fuzzy sets, es...
