Fuzzy logic control of an industrial robot

Abstract

In this paper, the application of fuzzy logic to control of an actual industrial robot in real time is described. A transputer based technology was adopted to enable a short sample time to be used. The relevant issues and difficulties arising in the real-time implementation of the control algorithm are discussed. Suggestions for the practical solution of the problems that arose are made which will be of interest to both the researcher and industrial practitioner alike. In conclusion, this paper presents a methodology for the application of fuzzy logic to control of an actual industrial robot.
