Fuzzy and Neural Controllers for a Pneumatic Actuator

International Journal of Computers Communications & Control, 2007
There is a great diversity of ways to use fuzzy inference in robot control systems, either in the place where it is applied in the control scheme or in the form or type of inference algorithms used. On the other hand, artificial neural networks ability to simulate nonlinear systems is used in different researches in order to develop automated control ...
