High-level fuzzy control of complex processes

Project objective

Fuzzy systems have been recognised as an attractive alternative to classical control schemes for the low-cost and simple design of the control laws of imperfectly known, non-linear and complex processes. Fuzzy control has been successfully applied to a large number of consumer products and industrial processes, but the applications reported are usually at low control level. However, the definition of fuzzy sets itself suggests that the most appropriate use of fuzzy systems is at higher levels of control. Therefore, the great potential of this approach is at supervisory and planning levels where human knowledge is involved in a decision making process. The proposed research work consists of the development of a new generation of fuzzy controllers, dedicated to high-level control, thus, able to deal with several, possibly hierarchical, control levels and different control goals. The developed fuzzy controllers will be applied to different non-linear complex processes to evaluate their performance.
