Introduction to Fuzzy Control

Lectures:
24h

Recommended for
ECSEL graduate students.

The course was last given:
Fall 1997

Goals
The course goal is to provide both a theoretical and practical overview of fuzzy control in addition to a number of in depth studies of different approaches to the design and implementation of fuzzy controllers.

Prerequisites
Basic ECSEL graduate student competence and background with knowledge of basic linear control is assumed.

Organization
The course will be structured relative to the course literature and based on three levels of difficulty: Basic level: Basics of fuzzy control
Chapters 1-3, Passino and Yurkovich
Medium level: Basics of fuzzy control and aspects of nonlinear analysis
Chapters 1-3, Passino and Yurkovich
Advanced level: Model based fuzzy control: fuzzy sliding mode controllers and Takagi-Sugeno controllers.

Contents
We will try understand the theory of fuzzy control at different levels of sophistication; to show how to apply various fuzzy control techniques; to illustrate design and analysis procedures for fuzzy controllers; and to consider a number of practical issues that arise in the development and implementation of fuzzy controllers. The basics of fuzzy control, related aspects of nonlinear analysis, model based fuzzy control, fuzzy sliding mode controllers and Takagi-Sugeno controllers will all be considered.
