As the demand for industrial robots and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) increases, higher performance is also required from them. Fuzzy controllers, as part of an intelligent control system, are a direct control method that leverages human knowledge and experience to easily control highly nonlinear, uncertain, and complex systems. This paper uses a $LabVIEW^{(R)}-based$ fuzzy controller with gain scheduling to demonstrate better performance than one could obtain with a fuzzy controller alone. First, the work area was set based on forward kinematics and inverse kinematics programs. Next, $LabVIEW^{(R)}$ was used to configure the fuzzy controller and perform the gain scheduling. Finally, the proposed fuzzy gain scheduling controller was compared with to controllers without gain scheduling.
