EE4305 Fuzzy/Neural Systems for Intelligent Robotics
Project for part II: Fuzzy Systems
Instructions:
1. The due date is 26/04/2024. Please submit the report to the submission folder in CANVAS.
2. Submit your technical report as a PDF file. On top of the first page, provide your name
and matriculation number.
3. The technical report should be the results of an individual work.
4. The main body of the technical report (excluding the reference and appendix) should not
be longer than 20 pages, and no late submission will be accepted.
It is well known that fuzzy logic technology provides an efficient way for computer to compute
with “words”. These devices operate in a way akin to human reasoning, by gathering complex
knowledge as they work, then applying that knowledge to their task. The results are products
that are more “intelligent" and user-friendly than ever before.
Fuzzy logic has been implemented in shavers (which sense the length, thickness and density of
hair and adjust the speed of the motor respectively), washing machines, dryers, cameras, trains,
breaks, etc. The list is rapidly growing. Besides, fuzzy logic has also been applied to real time
control applications. For example, it has been implemented on a software level in conjunction
with artificial neural networks as well as other AI techniques. Researchers are today looking at
possibilities of using fuzzy logic for pattern recognition, and other applications which generally
require some knowledge based expert system.
In this assignment, students are required to write a technical report regarding any specific
application of fuzzy logic technology. This helps to demonstrate the students’ understanding in
the subject of Fuzzy Logic beyond the normal lectures and tutorials. The technical report must
include specific description of the application, the input(s) and output(s) of the fuzzy system,
the fuzzy rules and membership functions, as well as the advantages/disadvantages of the fuzzy
system in such an application. A literature study might be necessary if you are interested in
some existing applications. Meanwhile, you are also encouraged to design a novel fuzzy system
to solve some new problems in real life from scratch.
This is an open-ended project. The greater efforts, the more marks.
Please note that I may use “Turnitin” for plagiarism check. If you simply copy and paste
materials from other sources to prepare your report, you may not only get zero marks for this
project, but also receive other disciplinary actions from the university.
