Calligraphic robot by fuzzy logic

摘要

The robot suggested here is constructed so as to have a basic knowledge of generating Kanji. The most essential features of Kanji are extracted from typical copies and represented as fuzzy rules. This is difficult work. Another problem is to realize writing motion by the robot arm. Calligraphy requires very delicate operation of the writing brush. The results are effected sensitively by the touch, speed and control of the writing brush. But a more important factor of evaluation is the balance or harmony of the whole Kanji. The rules of precise writing motion or the sensuous evaluation are represented by natural language and is only achieved by use of fuzzy logic.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
