Abstract

While fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are developed to exploit human expert knowledge in designing control systems, the actual establishment of fuzzy rules and tuning of fuzzy membership functions are usually a time consuming exercise. In this paper a technique, based on the particle swarm optimisation (PSO), is employed to automatically tune the fuzzy rules of a Mamdani-type of fuzzy controller. The effectiveness of the designed controller is demonstrated by the control performance of such an FLC to a nonlinear water tank system with process time delay. The results are compared favourably to a PSO tuned PID controller.
