Abstract

Fuzzy logic is a computing paradigm that deals with reasoning and decision-making in systems that involve uncertain or imprecise information. Unlike classical binary logic, which deals with true or false values (0 or 1), fuzzy logic allows for degrees of truth between 0 and 1, representing various levels of membership or similarity. Fuzzy logic finds numerous applications in various fields, and one of its significant applications is in mechatronic control systems. Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field that combines mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, and control engineering. Fuzzy logic is well suited for mechatronic control systems because it can handle the inherent complexities and uncertainties in these systems. Fuzzy logic can be used to design fuzzy control systems, which are control systems that use linguistic variables rather than precise numerical values. Fuzzy control allows engineers to create control rules based on human expertise and experience, making it easier to control systems that are challenging to model mathematically.

Fuzzy logic–based controllers often exhibit robustness in the face of uncertainties and external disturbances. ...
