Controlled Slip Design with NeuFuz

This application note focuses on a design based on National Semiconductor’s patented NeuFuz based neural-fuzzy technology to arrive at a slip control scheme implemented on National Semiconductor’s low-cost COP8TM microcontroller. NeuFuz technology allows for the automated generation of a fuzzy logic control engine based on training data. In this case, the training data was taken from the well known characteristics of controlled slip. Using the NeuFuz4 code generator, the NeuFuz based design methodology followed here allows for tailoring the controller to suit different motor and wheel characteristics without having to rewrite the code.
