Recently there has been significant growth in research interest in type-2 fuzzy logic. Type-2 fuzzy logic is extension of type-1 (regular) fuzzy logic where the membership grade in a fuzzy set is itself measured as a fuzzy number. Much of this growth has only been concerned with type-2 interval fuzzy systems, a subset of type-2 fuzzy systems, where the membership grade of a fuzzy set is given a...

Fuzzy Logic Systems are widely recognized to be successful at modelling uncertainty in a large variety of applications. While recently interval type-2 fuzzy logic has been credited for the ability to better deal with large amounts of uncertainty, general type2 fuzzy logic has been a steadily growing research area. All fuzzy logic systems require the accurate specification of the membership func...

This paper reports the use of simulated annealing to design more efficient fuzzy logic systems to model problems with associated uncertainties. Simulated annealing is used within this work as a method for learning the best configurations of interval and general type-2 fuzzy logic systems to maximize their modeling ability. The combination of simulated annealing with these models is presented in...

This paper presents the development and design of a graphical user interface and a command line programming toolbox for construction, edition and observation of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Inference Systems. The Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System Toolbox (IT2FLS), is an environment for interval type-2 fuzzy logic inference system development. Tools that cover the different phases of the fuzzy system ...

Type-2 systems has been becoming the focus of research in the field of fuzzy logic in recent years. Comparing with type-1 systems, type-2 fuzzy systems are more complex and relatively more difficult to understand and implement. We developed an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) based toolbox, MFLS tool, for interval type-2 fuzzy logic system. This paper presents MFLS toolbox. Moreover, ...

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...

TYPE-2 fuzzy sets (T2 FSs), originally introduced by Zadeh [3], provide additional design degrees of freedom in Mamdani and TSK fuzzy logic systems (FLSs), which can be very useful when such systems are used in situations where lots of uncertainties are present [4]. The implementation of this type-2 FLS involves the operations of fuzzification, inference,and output processing. We focus on ―outp...
