【正文】 ourse is made up of fuzzy sets. Example: The Universe of Discourse of women is made up of professional women, tall women, Asian women, short women, beautiful women, and on and on. The World39。s First Fuzzy Logic Controller，In England in 1973 at the University of London, a professor and student were trying to stabilize the speed of a small steam engine the student had built. They had a lot going for them, sophisticated equipment like a PDP8 miniputer and conventional digital control equipment. But, they could not control the engine as well as they wanted. Engine speed would either overshoot the target speed and arrive at the target speed after a series of oscillations, or the speed control would be too sluggish, taking too long for the speed to arrive at the desired setting, The professor, E. Mamdani, had read of a control method proposed by Dr. Lotfi Zadeh, head of the electrical engineering department at the University of California at Berkeley, in the United States. Dr. Zadeh is the originator of the designation fuzzy, which everyone suspects was selected to throw a little pie in the face of his more orthodox engineering colleagues, some of whom strongly opposed the fuzzy logic concept under any name.Professor Mamdani and the student, S. Assilian, decided to give fuzzy logic a try. They spent a weekend setting their steam engine up with the world39。s first ever fuzzy logic control system ....... and went directly into the history books by harnessing the power of a force in use by humans for 3 million years, but never before defined and used for the control of machines. The controller worked right away, and worked better than anything they had done with any other method. The steam engine speed control graph using the fuzzy logic controller appeared 。As you can see, the speed approached the desired value very quickly, did not overshoot and remained stable. It was an exciting and important moment in the history of scientific development. The Mamdani project made use of four inputs: boiler pressure error (how many temperature degrees away from the set point), rate of change of boiler pressure error, engine speed error and rate of change of engine speed error. There were two outputs: control of heat to the boiler and control of the throttle. They operated independently. A fuzzy logic system does not have to include a continuous feedback control loop as in the above described Mamdani system in order to be a fuzzylogic system, an impression you might receive from reading much of the fuzzy logic literature. There could be continuous feedback loop control, a bination of feedback loop control and onoff control or onoff control alone. A fuzzy logic control system could be as simple as: If the motor temperature feels like it is too hot, turn the motor off and leave it off. Or, If the pany39。s president and all the directors just sold every share of stock they own, then WE sell!A fuzzy logic system does not have to be directed toward electromechanical systems. The fuzzy logic system could be, for example, to provide buysell decisions to trade 30 million US dollars against the Japanese yen. Fuzzy logic controllers can control solenoids, stepper motors, linear positioners , etc., as well as, or concurrently with, continuous feedback control loops. Where there is continuous feedback control of a control loop, the response for varying degrees of error can be nonlinear, tailoring the response to meet unique or experience determined system requirements, even anomalies.Controllers typically have several inputs and outputs. The handling of various tasks, such as monitoring and manding a control loop and monitoring various inputs, with mands issued as appropriate, would all be sequenced in the puter program. The program would step from one task to the other, the program receiving inputs from and sending mands to the converter/controller. Inputs for a fuzzy logic controlled mechanical/physical system could be derived from any of thousands of real world, physical sensors/transducers. The Thomas Register has over 110 pages of these devices. Inputs for financial trading could e from personal assessments or from an ASCII data munication feed provided by a financial markets quote service.Progress in Fuzzy Logic，F(xiàn)rom a slow beginning, fuzzy logic grew in applications and importance, until now it is a significant concept worldwide. Intelligent beings on the other side of our galaxy and throughout the universe have probably noted and defined the concept. Personal puter based fuzzy logic control is pretty amazing. It lets novices build control systems that work in places where even the best mathematicians and engineers, using conventional approaches to control, cannot define and solve the problem. A control system is an electronic or mechanical system that causes the output of the controlled system to automatically remain at some desired output (the set point) set by the operator. The thermostat on your air conditioner is a control system. Your car39。s cruise control is a control system. Control may be an onoff signal or a continuous feedback loop.In Japan, a professor built a fuzzy logic control system that will fly a helicopter with one of the rotor blades off! Human helicopter pilots cannot do that. And, the Japanese went further and built a fuzzy logic controlled subway that is as smooth as walking in your living room. You do not have to hang on to a strap to keep your balance. If you did not look out the window at things flashing by, you would hardly know you had started and were in motion.In the United States, fuzzy logic control is gaining popularity, but is not as widely used as in Japan, where it is a multimillion dollar industry. Japan sells fuzzy logic controlled cameras, washing machines and more. One Internet search engine returns over 16,000 pages when you search on “fuzzylogic”. Personal puter based fuzzy logic control follows the pat
