Research Initiation: Development of Design Methodologies and Performance Standards for Application of Fuzzy Linguistic Control in Manufacturing

模糊语言控制迅速成为传统控制技术的替代方案，在工厂的明确数学模型不可用或难以制定的情况下，和/或当性能目标不容易转化为标准控制理论设计目标和约束时。然而，这些控制算法是以一种相当特别和非系统的方式开发的。该项目将制定一套应用选择标准，说明工厂的特点以及保证应用模糊语言控制的性能目标和约束的类别，一套设计准则和实施标准，最后一套性能评估标准。提供了一种系统的方法来评估模糊语言控制算法的性能。

Fuzzy Linguistic Control is fast emerging as an alternative to conventional control techniques in situations where an explicit mathematical model of the plant is unavailable or difficult to formulate, and/or when performance objectives are not readily translated into standard control theoretic design objectives and constraints. These control algorithms are, however, developed in a rather ad hoc and unsystematic manner. This project will develop a set of application selection criteria, stating the characteristics of the plant and the class of performance objectives and constraints that warrant the application of Fuzzy Linguistic Control, a set of design guidelines and implementation standards, and finally a set of performance evaluation criteria, enabling an methodical approach to evaluate the performance of Fuzzy Linguistic Control algorithms.
