Achieving high performance controller for multi-joints actuators on rehabilitation lower limb exoskeleton (RLLE) is difficult due to its non-linear characteristics. The with less tracking error a key challenge in their controller. Therefore, this paper presents new particle swarm optimization based initialization of model reference adaptive fuzzy logic proportional derivative (Adaptive-FLC-PD),...

In this paper, a parallel structure of fuzzy PID control systems is proposed. It is associated with a new tuning method which, based on gain margin and phase margin speci"cations, determines the parameters of the fuzzy PID controller. In comparison with conventional PID controllers, the proposed fuzzy PID controller shows higher control gains when system states are away from equilibrium and, at...

This paper describes how fuzzy goal programming can be efficiently used to solve bilevel programming problems with fuzzy parameters. In the model formulation of the problem, the tolerance membership functions for the fuzzily described objective functions of decision makers are defined by determining individual optimal solution of each of the level decision makers. Since the objectives are poten...

The dominance–based rough set approach plays an important role in the development of the rough set theory. It can be used to express the inconsistencies coming from consideration of the preference–ordered domains of the attributes. The purpose of this paper is to further generalize the dominance–based rough set model to fuzzy environment. The constructive approach is used to define the intuitio...

Type-2 fuzzy sets, which are characterized by membership functions (MFs) that are themselves fuzzy, have been attracting interest. This paper focuses on advancing the understanding of interval type-2 fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs). First, a type-2 FLC is evolved using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The type-2 FLC is then compared with another three GA evolved type-1 FLCs that have different design p...

This paper proposes a new interface model for crosslayer designs using generalized fuzzy automata (GFA) and fuzzy control. When using the proposed model, an upper layer is reduced to an adaptive and cognitive controller and the lower layers act as hierarchical plants. In this paper, we utilize the model in wireless LAN Quality of Service (QoS). The fuzzy controller allocates bandwidths for diff...

In this paper we introduce a new fuzzy evaluation function for examination timetabling. We describe how we employed fuzzy reasoning to evaluate the quality of a constructed timetable by considering two criteria, the average penalty per student and the highest penalty imposed on any of the students. A fuzzy system was created based on a series of easy to understand rules to combine the two crite...

This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy control application to support a vendor managed inventory (VMI). The methodology applies fuzzy control to generate an adaptive smoothing constant in the forecast method, production and delivery plan to eliminate, for example, the rationing and gaming or the Houlihan effect and the order batching effect or the Burbidge effects and finally the Bullwhip effect...

This paper describes how fuzzy control can be applied to sonar based obstacle avoidance of HelpMate mobile robot. Behavior-based fuzzy control for HelpXlate mobile robot was designed. The design and implementation of fuzzy control system is described. The fuzzy controller provides the mechanism for solving sens(,r data fi'om all sonar sensors which present differ<,.t infl)rmation. Behavior-base...
