Fundamental and advanced developments in neuro-fuzzy synergisms for mo
deling and control are reviewed. The essential part of neuro-fuzzy syn
ergisms comes from a common framework called adaptive networks, which
unifies both neural networks and fuzzy models. The fuzzy models under
the framework of adaptive networks is called Adaptive-Network-based Fu
zzy Inference System (ANFIS), which possess certain advantages over ne
ural networks. We introduce the design methods for ANFIS in both model
ing and control applications. Current problems and future directions f
or neuro-fuzzy approaches are also addressed.
