There exist processes difficult to control because of the lack of inline sensors, as occurs in biotechnology engineering. Commonly the sensor is expensive, damaged, or even they do not exist.  It is important to build an observer to have an approximation of the process output to have a closed-loop control. The biotechnological processes are nonlinear, thus in this work is proposed a fuzzy observer to endure nonlinearities. To improve the results reported in the literature, type-2 fuzzy logic was used to justify the membership functions used. The observer's gains were computed via LMIs to guarantee the observer's stability.  To facilitate the fuzzy inference computation, interval type-2 fuzzy sets were implemented. The results obtained with the interval type-2 fuzzy observer were compared with a similar technique that uses a fuzzy sliding mode observer; this new approach gives better results obtaining an error 60% lower than the obtained with the other technique. They were designed three observers that work ensemble via a fuzzy relation. The best approximation was to estimate the intermediate concentration. It is important to know this variable because this sub-product was also toxic. It was concluding that by using the oxygen concentration and the liquid volume inside the reactor, the other concentrations were estimated. Finally, this result helps to design a fuzzy controller by using the estimated state. Using this approach, the estimation errors for the phenol and biomass concentrations were 49.26% and 21.27% lower than by using sliding modes.

A Novel hybrid backstepping interval type-2fuzzy adaptive control (HBT2AC) for uncertain discrete-time nonlinear systems is presented in this paper. The systems are assumed to be defined with the aid of discrete equations with nonlinear uncertainties which are considered as modeling errors and external unknown disturbances, and that the observed states are considered disturbed. The adaptive fuzzy type-2 controller is designed, where the fuzzy inference approach based on extended single-input rule modules (SIRMs) approximate the modeling errors, non-measurable states and adjustable parameters are estimated using derived weighted simplified least squares estimators (WSLS). We can prove that the states are bounded and the estimation errors stand in the neighborhood of zero. The efficiency of the approach is proved by simulation for which the root mean squares criteria are used which improves control performance.

This paper proposes Interval type-2 Fuzzy sliding mode controller based on Backstepping (IT2FBSMC), to control the speed of a dual star induction machine (DSIM), in order to get a robust performance machine. An appropriate control strategy based on the coupling of three methods (Backstepping, sliding mode and type-2 Fuzzy controller) is used to build a robust controller used to approximate the discontinuous control eliminating the chattering phenomenon and guaranteeing the stability of the machine. Moreover, it forces the rotor angular speed to follow a desired reference signal. The simulation results obtained using Matlab/Simulink behavior are presented and discussed. The obtained results show that the controller can greatly alleviate the chattering effect and enhance the robustness of control systems with high accuracy.

Industrial arms should be able to perform their duties in environments where unpredictable conditions and perturbations are present. In this paper, controlling a robotic manipulator is intended under significant external perturbations and parametric uncertainties. Type-2 fuzzy logic is an appropriate choice in the face of uncertain environments, for various reasons, including utilizing fuzzy membership functions. Also, using the neural network (NN) can increase robustness of the controller. Although neural network does not basically need to build its type-2 fuzzy rules, the initial rules based on sliding surface of higher order sliding mode controller (HOSMC) can improve the system's performance. In addition, self-regulation feature of the controller, which is based on the existence of the neural network in the central type-2 fuzzy controller block, increases the robustness of the method even more. Effective performance of the proposed controller (IT2FNN-HOSMC) is shown under various perturbations in numerical simulations.

In this research, we introduce a classification procedure based on rule induction and fuzzy reasoning. The classifier generalizes attribute information to handle uncertainty, which often occurs in real data. To induce fuzzy rules, we define the corresponding fuzzy information system. A transformation of the derived rules into interval type-2 fuzzy rules is provided as well. The fuzzification applied is optimized with respect to the footprint of uncertainty of the corresponding type-2 fuzzy sets. The classification process is related to a Mamdani type fuzzy inference. The method proposed was evaluated by the F-score measure on benchmark data.

In many practical systems, stochastic behaviors usually occur and need to be considered in the controller design. To ensure the system performance under the effect of stochastic behaviors, the controller may become bigger even beyond the capacity of practical applications. Therefore, the actuator saturation problem also must be considered in the controller design. The type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model can describe the parameter uncertainties more completely than the type-1 T-S fuzzy model for a class of nonlinear systems. A fuzzy controller design method is proposed in this paper based on the Interval Type-2 (IT2) T-S fuzzy model for stochastic nonlinear systems subject to actuator saturation. The stability analysis and some corresponding sufficient conditions for the IT2 T-S fuzzy model are developed using Lyapunov theory. Via transferring the stability and control problem into Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problem, the proposed fuzzy control problem can be solved by the convex optimization algorithm. Finally, a nonlinear ship steering system is considered in the simulations to verify the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed fuzzy controller design method.
