| Summary: | Artificial intelligence brought about big changes in the lives of human. Expert systems that are implemented as problem solvers neural networks that mimic the human brain. Many systems can be represented by time-varying continuous functions. In an attempt to control these functions, the equations are quantified and each possible case becomes a conditional statement (e.g. if-then). But these systems all too often prove to be cumbersome and inefficient in producing the desired control. Fuzzy logic is therefore an alternative. In this project/thesis, fuzzy logic would be implemented to a washing machine unit. Such a system would (1) set the speed of its induction motor and (2) washing and rinsing time, and (3) prescribe the amount of soap to use. Current units do not have such automation and do not always produce efficient results. The user would have to approximate, using his personal judgement, the input parameters (duration of washing, the amount of soap to use, etc.) |
