Development of an adaptive fuzzy behavioural control system with experimental and industrial applications

This paper discusses a newly developed Adaptive Fuzzy Behavioural Control System which has been designed for use with an autonomous mobile robot. The merit of the system is the capability to adapt the fuzzy function to suit the environmental conditions encountered without changes to the rule base. This is compared to conventional behavioural control and demonstrated by simulation. The paper also discuses the results of both experimental and industrial applications in which this new control system was applied.
