title: Design of fuzzy controllers with adaptive rule insertion.
abstract: In this paper, an approach of designing adaptive fuzzy controllers is presented to systematically develop efficient and effective rules for fuzzy controllers. The proposed fuzzy controllers are first designed with two basic fuzzy if-then rules. Then according to the design requirements of the fuzzy control system, new fuzzy if-then rules are inserted into the rule-base structure of the fuzzy controller. Initially the inserted fuzzy rules are redundant in the sense that the resultant input-output mapping of the fuzzy rules remains intact. After that the parameters of the membership functions for the fuzzy sets of the newly added fuzzy rules are trained on-line to minimize predefined cost functions. Thus, efficient fuzzy controllers can be systematically designed. Simulations for linear, nonlinear, and delayed systems are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
