The development and implementation of a mobile robot is presented. The robot uses Fuzzy Logic to navigate in varying environments and his implementation has been carried out using inexpensive components and tools. The achieved performance encourages that this work will serve as a basis platform for the research of other paradigms in Control and Artificial Intelligence. Keywords— Mobile robots; ...

The application of a simple microcontroller to deal with a three variable input and a single output fuzzy logic controller, with Proportional – Integral – Derivative (PID) response control built-in has been tested for an automatic voltage regulator. The fuzzifiers are based on fixed range of the variables of output voltage. The control output is used to control the wiper motor of the auto trans...

Condition monitoring of electrical power equipment has attracted considerable attention for many years. The aim of this paper is to use Labview with Fuzzy Logic controller to build a simulation system to diagnose transformer faults and monitor its condition. The front panel of the system was designed using LabVIEW to enable computer to act as customer-designed instrument. The dissolved gas-in-o...

As longer lifespans become the norm and modern healthcare allows individuals to live more functional lives despite physical disabilities, there is an increasing need for personal assistance robots. One of the barriers to this shift in healthcare technology is the ability of the human operator to communicate his/her intent to the robot. In this paper, a method of interpreting eye gaze data using...

This paper discusses the implementation of a fuzzy logic based coordinated voltage control for a distribution system connected with distributed generations (DGs). The connection of DGs has created a challenge for the distribution network operators to keep the voltage in the system within its acceptable limits. Intelligent centralized or coordinated voltage control schemes have proven to be more...

This paper presents an effective comparison between various edge detection techniques and emphasizes on how fuzzy logic can be applied for edge detection. Edges provide the representation of object boundaries thus, filtering unnecessary data and that is the reason behind edge detection being an essential component in many computer image processing subfields such as classification, feature extra...

In wireless sensor networks, the selection of cluster heads relies upon the various selection parameters, such as energy, distance, node concentration and rate of retransmission. There is always uncertainty in the suitability of sensor node for the cluster head role due to these various selection parameters. Fuzzy logic is capable of overcoming uncertainties even with incomplete available infor...

Conventional search techniques for searching a database follow Boolean logic. When a database search is made with a given set of keywords, a minor variation in the keyword due to difference in spelling standard, typographical error or difference in inflection of the same stem, results in failure in getting records from the database. This situation demands a special kind of search technique, whi...

Keywords: DC-DC buck converter, Fast transient response, Fuzzy logic controller (FLC). A new low output voltage and fast transient response dc-dc converter is designed in order to feed devices such as microprocessors and DSPs. It is a fast response DC-DC buck converter (FRBC) comprising of two buck converters connected in shunt and controlled by Fuzzy logic controller. First the Linear Control ...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the ability to continually change and obtain new understanding of driving power of Expert Approach. Expert systems are able to advantageously replace human experts in various application areas with the involvement of ANN and Fuzzy Logic. Finally this hybrid system is formed to gain the outstanding performance from a expert system. The basic concept of ANN...
