Dynamic linguistic models can be implemented by fuzzy automata. Of the feasible solutions, at present, fuzzy logic RISC processors and fuzzy logic finite state machines (ASIC) seem to be most promising. The latter approach is taken into consideration. In this paper the model of the fuzzy-state-fuzzy-output (FSFO) finite state machine (FSM) is discussed in detail. The state membership function (SMF) is introduced and the FSFO FSM implementation by means of crisp-state-fuzzy-output (CSFO) FSM using SMF is proposed. The multivariable model and inference scheme are suggested based on CSFO and FSFO FSM.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":153967,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 3rd International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121210326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tactile sensors are an important source of dynamic information for real-time gripper control during manipulation tasks. To be effective, this dynamic information must be used as part of a real-time control scheme because many of the conditions indicated by the tactile sensor require immediate attention (typically in milliseconds or less). One important application of dynamic tactile data is the tracking of objects in real time. This paper discusses a tracking system that was implemented to prove the feasibility of using a tactile sensor and fuzzy logic to track objects in real time. The system as implemented used a tactile sensor, an X-Y table, a personal computer and custom fuzzy-logic software. It successfully tracked objects at speeds in excess of 1 ms/sup -1/.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":153967,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 3rd International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116317369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The underlying philosophy is that an autonomous mobile robot should be able to make a map of its environment as it navigates through that environment. Fuzzy logic control and behavior-based navigation are proposed as means to implement this philosophy. Fuzzy logic provides the approximate reasoning necessary for handling the uncertainty inherent in mobile robot navigation. By decomposing the problem into simpler tasks we can develop mobile robots that exhibit a sufficient level of intelligence for performing navigation and mapping. In this paper, we discuss a strategy for incorporating fuzzy reasoning into the framework of reactive behavior control systems for autonomous mapping.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":153967,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 3rd International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115940083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this computational practice simplifies to an extent the actual developments taking place in the closed loop. In reality, the knowledge about the current values of the controller input is very often available via sensory measurements. In this case, one has to take into account the negative side effects that come up with the use of sensors, in particular the presence of noisy measurements. In the paper the authors consider one particular way of dealing with noisy controller inputs, namely transforming the noise-distribution into a fuzzy set and then feeding back the so obtained fuzzy signal to the controller input. Adopting this approach requires that the shape of the input fuzzy signal should be reflected as much as possible in the output fuzzy signal so that important noise characteristics are preserved. In the paper the authors describe the requirements on the shape of the fuzzy output signal given a certain fuzzy input signal and show that the existing semantics for fuzzy IF-THEN rules do not satisfy these requirements. The authors propose new semantics for such rules which together with max-min composition produces the desired results.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":153967,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 3rd International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132394616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
