On the design and performance evaluation of adaptive fuzzy controllers

Abstract

An automated design technique to optimize membership functions for a fuzzy controller numerically is discussed. The technique is applied to the design of a fuzzy controller for regulating mean aerial blood pressure in a noisy environment (e.g. during surgery or while a patient is being treated in the ICU). The result is extended to construct an adaptive fuzzy controller, and its performance is evaluated through simulation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
