Sg. Tzafestas et Gg. Rigatos, Stability analysis of an adaptive fuzzy control system using Petri Nets and learning automats, MATH COMP S, 51(3-4), 2000, pp. 315-339
A hybrid intelligent control system that combines the theories of fuzzy log
ic and variable structure systems (VSS) is presented. This control architec
ture is viewed as a discrete event system (DES) and its properties are stud
ied using the corresponding Petri Net diagram. The equivalence between this
controller and a learning finite state automaton is revealed. The validity
of the method is supported by simulation results concerning an are-welding
process and a mobile robot moving in a partially unknown environment. (C)
