Simulations of a Numerical Implementation Friendly Adaptive Fuzzy Control System

Abstract

A simplified model reference adaptive fuzzy control algorithm is tested on a few generic applications, through a set of simulations done using several Matlab programs. The algorithm is focused on an easy numerical implementation and ignores a mathematical background or demonstration of its convergence. The algorithm is different from the fuzzy model reference adaptive control presented in textbooks in the adaptation part. Here, the adaptation law is not based on fuzzy inference and the fuzzy feature of the system is kept only for the controller.
