Engineering

Covers the basics of fuzzy set theory, fuzzy logic, control and presents eleven case studies of actual applications including flight control and tracking, robot control and manufacturing planning. Fuzzy logic has proven to be the most popular and practical area of artificial intelligence technologies to be used in the industrial and manufacturing world.

• covers applications of fuzzy control implementations in such areas as air conditioners, a cooker, an electric power system, stereo system, a car stereo, robot manipulator, computer network security, optical mirror control, risk assessment, etc.
