The design process for fuzzy controllers that is based on the use of heuristic information from human experts has found success in many industrial applications. Moreover, the approach to constructing fuzzy controllers via numerical input-output data is increasingly finding use
Fuzzy control does not exist as an isolated topic devoid of relationships to other fields, and it is important to understand how it relates to these other fields in order to strengthen your understanding of it. We have emphasized that fuzzy control has its foundations in conventional control and that there are many relationships to techniques, ideas, and methodologi there. Fuzzy control is also an\intelligent control\technique
Questions: Why do we select fuzzy controllers in many real-world- systems? How much of the success can be attributed to the use of the mathematical model and conventional control design approach? How much should be attributed to the clever heuristic tuning that the control engineer uses upon implementation?
