Simulation of a Fuzzy Logic controller based chasing robot

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to design and implement a vehicle robot which is chasing a mobile target. In the first phase of this work, simulation study of such a robot using a Fuzzy Logic controller to generate control signals for the robot is presented. The fuzzy Logic controller receives information of the target robot through ultrasonic sensors and generates control signals to adjust a suitable direction and speed of the robot. Performance of the proposed Fuzzy Logic based robot is then compared with a robot controlled by a conventional binary logic controller. The proposed work may also be used as a case study in the undergraduate and graduate laboratory to motivate student to explore Fuzzy Logic controller with various parameters.
