Abstract

Fuzzy logic has been successfully applied in various fields. However, as fuzzy controllers increase in size and complexity, the number of control rules increases exponentially and real-time behavior becomes more difficult. This thesis introduces an any-time fuzzy controller. Much work has been done to optimize and speed up a controlling process, however none of the existing solutions provides an any-time behavior. This study first introduces several constraints that should be satisfied in order to guarantee an any-time behavior. These constraints are related to aggregation and defuzzification phases of fuzzy control. Popular aggregation (max-min, sum-product) and defuzzification methods (mean-of-maxima (MOM) and center-of-gravity (COG)) are first shown to satisfy these constraints, and then three linearization methods are presented. Linearization methods are used to reorder fuzzy rule-bases such that a reordered rule-base would result in any-time behavior. Finally, several approximation methods are described, that do not break any-time behavior, while causing the intermediate result of an any-time controller to come closer to the final (full calculation) result in a shorter time. The exact influence of the approximation methods should be further researched.
