In this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an Au- tonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) are addressed. Yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. The discussed AUV has four aps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. Two rule bases...

The fuzzy rule based inference is known to be a useful tool to capture the behavior of an approximate system in transportation. One of the obstacles of implementing the fuzzy rule based inference, however, has been to calibrate the membership functions of the fuzzy sets used in the rules. This paper proposes a way to calibrate the membership function when a set of input and output data is given...

This paper shows how a small number of linguistically interpretable fuzzy rules can be extracted from numerical data for high-dimensional pattern classi®cation problems. One diculty in the handling of high-dimensional problems by fuzzy rule-based systems is the exponential increase in the number of fuzzy rules with the number of input variables. Another diculty is the deterioration in the com...

In the field of classification problems, we often encounter classes with a very different percentage of patterns between them, classes with a high pattern percentage and classes with a low pattern percentage. These problems receive the name of “classification problemswith imbalanced data-sets”. In this paperwe study the behaviour of fuzzy rule based classification systems in the framework of im...

Both crisp and fuzzy rule-based expert systems are increasingly used in the real-time environments. For both types of systems the stability and nite response time are required. It is therefore crucial for both to provide tools that perform stability analysis. This paper shows how the analysis tools built for crisp real-time rule-based system might be used for fuzzy systems as well. Major diiere...

Evolving Takagi-Sugeno (eTS) fuzzy models are used to build a computational model for the WasteWater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in a paper mill. The fuzzy rule base is constructed on-line from data using a recursive fuzzy clustering algorithm that develops the model structure and parameters. In order to avoid some redundancy in the fuzzy rule base mechanisms for merging membership functions and sim...

This paper presents an automatic learning algorithm which generates a fuzzy rule based knowledge representation. While learning the membership functions and rules the internal structure of the rule base is also considered. This is done by definition of 1 a complexity cost function and 2 a minimal Fuzzy System. A Genetic Algorithm is used to estimate the Fuzzy Systems which capture a low comlex ...
