Summary

Intelligent control of mobile systems allows for hierarchical structures that utilize sensory data with various levels of accuracy. This paper discusses a rule-based approach for the control problem. The assumed inexactness in world description is represented by fuzzy memberships, and the state space is discretized into a linguistic vocabulary. Fuzzy motion control rules that have been experimentally derived, are then used in a fuzzy inference mechanism to give the final control command to robot actuators. Finally, the developed algorithm is tested for real-time control applications.
