A statistical analysis of Type-1 and Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic in dynamic parameter adaptation in the Bee Colony Optimization algorithm (BCO) is presented in this paper. The Bee Colony Optimization meta-heuristic belongs to the class of Nature-Inspired Algorithms. The objective of the work is based on the main reasons for the analysis of the approach with Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic to find t...

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...

We describe a method for edge detection in digital images based on the morphological gradient and fuzzy logic. The goal is to improve one of the basic methods for edge detection in order to obtain a better result even without applying any filter to the image. The tests were made with a type-1 fuzzy inference system (T1FIS) and with an interval type-2 fuzzy inference system (IT2FIS). We show tha...

In recent years, the type-2 fuzzy sets theory has been used to model and minimize the effects of uncertainties in rule-base fuzzy logic system (FLS). In order to make the type-2 FLS reasonable and reliable, a new simple and novel statistical method to decide interval-valued fuzzy membership functions and probability type reduce reasoning method for the interval-valued FLS are developed. We have...

This paper presents the application of interval type-2 fuzzy inference systems (IT2FIS) in short term load forecasting (STLF) on special days. This is a continuation work of application interval type-2 fuzzy systems (IT2FSs) using Karnik Mendel algorithm. Special days here mean local Balinese holidays such as national and local culture-based public holidays, consecutive holidays, and days prece...

This paper proposes a new approach based on Bonferroni mean operator and possibility degree to solve fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. We introduce the concepts of interval possibility mean value and present a new method for calculating the possibility degree of two interval trapezoidal type-2 fuz...

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...

Intelligent congestion control is vital in encoded video streaming of a clip or film, as network traffic volatility requires constant adjustment of the bit-rate. Equation-based solutions to congestion control are prone to fluctuations in the delivery rate and may respond only when packet loss has already occurred, while both fluctuations and packet loss affect the end-user’s perception of the d...

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...
