A new fuzzy adaptive control is applied to solve a problem of motion control of nonholonomic vehicles with two independent wheels actuated by a differential drive. The major objective of this work is to obtain a motion control system by using a new fuzzy inference mechanism where the Lyapunov stability can be ensured. In particular the parameters of the kinematical control law are obtained using a fuzzy mechanism, where the properties of the fuzzy maps have been established to have the stability above. Due to the nonlinear map of the intelligent fuzzy inference mechanism (i.e., fuzzy rules and value of the rule), the parameters above are not constant, but, time after time, based on empirical fuzzy rules, they are updated in function of the values of the tracking errors. Since the fuzzy maps are adjusted based on the control performances, the parameters updating ensures a robustness and fast convergence of the tracking errors. Also, since the vehicle dynamics and kinematics can be completely unknown, dynamical and kinematical adaptive controllers have been added. The proposed fuzzy controller has been implemented for a real nonholonomic electrical vehicle. Therefore, system robustness and stability performance are verified through simulations and experimental studies.

Fuzzy expert system is an artificial intelligence tool that helps to resolve the decision-making problem with the existence of uncertainty and plays an important role in medicine for symptomatic diagnostic remedies. In this chapter, construction of Fuzzy expert system is the focused, which helps to diagnosis disease. Fuzzy expert system is constructed by using the fuzzification to convert crisp values into fuzzy values. Fuzzy expert system consists of fuzzy inference, implication, and aggregation. The system contains a set of rules with fuzzy operators T-norm and of T-Conorm. By applying the fuzzy inference mechanism, diagnosis of disease becomes simple for medical practitioners and patients. Defuzzification method is adopted to convert the fuzzy values into crisp values. With crisp values, the knowledge regarding the disease is given to medical doctors and patients. Application of Fuzzy expert system to diagnosis of disease is mainly focused on in this chapter.

Current literature and common practices suggest that there is no consistent method available to analyze the performance of teachers. Due to its inherent vagueness and uncertainty, this article analyzes the effectiveness of a teacher depending upon various factors using fuzzy logic. It explains various parameters influencing professional, interpersonal and personal behavior of teachers. Secondly, a fuzzy inference mechanism is developed to decide the possible quality of teachers. The article concludes by observing that the proposed fuzzy logic based system is consistent with that judged by the experts and can be used to predict the possible quality of teachers.
