Hybrid geno-fuzzy controllers

New methods for designing and analyzing fuzzy controllers are required. Some architectures for integrating genetic algorithms with fuzzy logic controllers, the so called hybrid geno-fuzzy controllers, are introduced and discussed. A new hybrid geno-fuzzy controller based on the algebraic model of the fuzzy controller is proposed. Genetic algorithms are shown to be able to deduce the algebraic model of a simple fuzzy controller used for controlling a truck backer-upper system. The genetic algorithm is further used to tune the coefficients of the deduced algebraic model. The presented results indicate that the hybrid geno-fuzzy controller is superior to a conventional fuzzy controller
