This paper proposes a new COA (center of area) defuzzifier that is working in the accurate and fast manner. The proposed COA defuzzifier involves both membership values and the spans of membership functions in clauclating a crisp value. In additon, it avoid division by replacing the COA calculation with the searching of the momentum equilibrium point. The moment equilibrium point is searched in the coarse-to-fine manner such that the moment computing points during the coarse searching are moved in the interval of fuzzy terms until they are reached at two adjacent fuzzy terms searching method accerlates the finding of the moment equilibrium point by O(M) mazimally when compared iwth the equal interval searching method of ruitz. In order to verify the accuracy of the proposed COA defuzzifier, the crisp values obtained form the proposed coarse-to-fine searching are compared with the precise crisp values from the arithmetic calculation. Application to the truck backer-upper control problem of the proposed COA defuzzifier is presented. The control performance is compared with that of the conventional COA defuzzifier in tems of the average tracing distance.

This paper proposes an accurate and cost-effective COA defuzzifier of fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The accuracy of the proposed COA defuzzifier is obtained by involving both membership values and spans of membership functions in calculating a crisp value. The cost-effectiveness of the proposed COA defuzzifier is obtained by replacing the division in the COA defuzzifier by finding an equilibrium point of both the left and right moments. The proposed COA defuzzifier has two disadvantages that it ncreases the hardware complexity due to the additional multipliers and it takes a lot of computation time to find the moment equilibrium point. The first disadvantage is overcome by replacing the multipliers with the stochastic AND operations. The second disadvantage is alleviated by using a coarse-to-fine searching algorithm that accelerates the finding of moment equilibrium point. Application of the proposed COA defuzzifier to the truck backer-upper control problem is performed in the VHDL simulation and the control accuracy of the proposed COA defuzzifier is compared with that of the conventional COA defuzzifier in terms of average tracing distance.

This paper proposes an optimal COA(Center Of Area) defuzzification method that improves the contr~lp erformance of a fuzzy logic controller. The defuzzification method incorporates both the membership values and the effective span of membership function6 in calculating a crisp value. An optimal effective span is determined automatically by the genetic algorithm thrqugh the training of some typical examples. Simulation of the proposed COA defuzzifier to the truck backer-upper control problem is presented and the control performance of the praposed COA defuzzifier outperforms that of the conventional COA defuzzifier by more than 20% in terms of ayerage tracing distance.

In this paper an electro-hydraulic servo system is designed by using a fuzzy control algorithm. In order to drive an optimal fuzzy control system, a simulation program for the control system has been developed. By this program the fuzzifier and defuzzifier, a fuzzy inference method, a fuzzy relational matrix, and a fuzzy inference method are investigated. As a result, Larsen inference method, 9*9 fuzzy relational matrix, and center of area defuzzifier are turned out the best as parameters. Finally this method is compared with the conventional PID algotithm, and showed that the fuzzy control performs better than PID algorithm. The fuzzy control performs very well adap- tation against uncertain disturbances.

This paper concerns a VHDL design and simulation of an accurate and cost-effective fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The accurcy of the proposed FLC is obtained by using the center of gravity (COG) defuzzifier that considers both membership values and spans of membership functions in calculating a crisp value. The cost-effectiveness of the proposed FLC is obtained by restructuring the conventional FLC in the following ways: Firstly, the MAX-MIN inference is inference is replaced by a read-modify-write operation that can be implemented economically in the structure of register files. Secondly, the division in the COG defuzzifier is avoided by finding the moment equilibrium point. The proposed COG defuzzifier has two disadvantages that it requires additional multipliers and it takes a lot of computation time to find the moment equilibrium point. The first disadvantage is overcome by replacing the mulitpliers with stochastic AND operations and the second disadvantage is alleviated by using a coarse-to-fine searching algorithm. The proposed FLC is described in VHDL structurally and behaviorally and whether it is working well or not is checked on SYNOPSYS VHDL simulator by using the truck backer-upper control problem.

The look up table method conventionally applied to control the inner temperature and humidity of a laver drying machine has repeatedly occurred not only laver's damage but also inferior goods since the reaching time at the optimum state takes a long time. In this paper, a fuzzy control theory instead of the look up table was proposed to reduce the reaching time at the optimum state. The proposed method used six input variables and four output variables for the fuzzy control, and a triangle rule for a fuzzifier, The Mandani's min-max method was applied to a fuzzy inference. Also, the mean method of maximum was applied to a defuzzifier. The method applied to the fuzzy controller contributed to reduce the reaching time at the optimum state, and to minimize not only laver's damage but also inferior goods.

In supply chain management, supplier capacity is very important to meet the customer demand quickly. This paper studies a supplier evaluation structure and then suggests a methodology using fuzzy theory for selecting an effective supplier. Several quantitative and qualitative evaluation factors should be analyzed in the evaluation structure. The qualitative factors includes not only product and service qualities but financial condition. The methodology deals with both the quantitative and qualitative factors together through fuzzy inference. A case study is also presented to show how to choose the best one among potential suppliers.

This paper presents a class of hierarchical fuzzy systems where previous layer outputs are used not in IF-parts, but only in THEN -parts of the fuzzy rules of the current layer. The existence of the proposed hierarchical fuzzy system which approximates a given real continuous function on a compact set is proven if complete fuzzy sets are used in the IF-parts of the fuzzy rules with singleton fuzzifier and center average defuzzifier.

This paper proposes the MIMO indirect adaptive fuzzy controller to control the two-link manipulators. The input-output linearization technique, equivalent control input plus integral term, augmented error model and recursive least square adaptive law are used fer the controller. The linear type of fuzzifier-defuzzifier fuzzy logic system used for nonlinear function makes easy to farm the error model and able to follow the adaptive system approach. Such that control approach, the control system is not required joint speed and accerelation measurement and easy to implement and tune. The simulation results showed that the proposed controller has good control performance, stability, very small tracking error, decoupling, fast convergence, robust to parameter variation and load.
