Interval Type-3 Fuzzy Adaptation of the Bee Colony Optimization Algorithm for Optimal Fuzzy Control of an Autonomous Mobile Robot

In this study, the first goal is achieving a hybrid approach composed by an Interval Type-3 Fuzzy Logic System (IT3FLS) for the dynamic adaptation of α and β parameters of Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) algorithm. The second goal is, based on BCO, to find the best partition of the membership functions (MFs) of a Fuzzy Controller (FC) for trajectory tracking in an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR). A comparative with different types of Fuzzy Systems, such as Fuzzy BCO with Type-1 Fuzzy Logic System (FBCO-T1FLS), Fuzzy BCO with Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System (FBCO-IT2FLS) and Fuzzy BCO with Generalized Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System (FBCO-GT2FLS) is analyzed. A disturbance is added to verify if the FBCO-IT3FLS performance is better when the uncertainty is present. Several performance indices are used; RMSE, MSE and some metrics of control such as, ITAE, IAE, ISE and ITSE to measure the controller’s performance. The experiments show excellent results using FBCO-IT3FLS and are better than FBCO-GT2FLS, FBCO-IT2FLS and FBCO-T1FLS in the adaptation of α and β parameters.

Interval Type-3 Fuzzy Control for Automated Tuning of Image Quality in Televisions

In this article, an intelligent system utilizing type-3 fuzzy logic for automated image quality tuning in televisions is presented. The tuning problem can be formulated as controlling the television imaging system to achieve the requirements of production quality. Previously, the tuning process has been carried out by experts, by manually adjusting the television imaging system on production lines to meet the quality control standards. In this approach, interval type-3 fuzzy logic is utilized with the goal of automating the tuning of televisions manufactured on production lines. An interval type-3 fuzzy approach for image tuning is proposed, so that the best image quality is obtained and, in this way, meet quality requirements. A system based on type-3 fuzzy control is implemented with good simulation results. The validation of the type-3 fuzzy approach is made by comparing the results with human experts on the process of electrical tuning of televisions. The key contribution is the utilization of type-3 fuzzy in the image tuning application, which has not been reported previously in the literature.
