Fuzzy logic is a technique that attempts to systematically and mathematically emulate human reasoning. This paper investigates the feasibility of applying fuzzy logic to transportation and shipbuilding market modeling, analysis and forecasting. Fuzzy systems called fuzzy decision modelers (FDMs) are developed based on fuzzy logic techniques to model the crude oil tanker freight rate market, the tanker new order market and the tanker scrapping market. Our results show that the FDMs are able to model and forecast these economic systems very well. In addition, the FDMs also provide valuable insights into market mechanisms and market participants' decision-making patterns. The FDMs are mathematical model-free, nonlinear systems capable of capturing complicated relationships among economic variables. The FDMs are easy to develop and easy to interpret. These advantages of fuzzy systems suggest that fuzzy logic techniques are a promising alternative in shipping and shipbuilding market modeling, analysis and forecasting.

This article deals with the issue of designing a flight tracking controller for an unmanned aerial vehicle type of quadrotor based on an optimal model-free fuzzy logic control approach. The main design objective is to perform an automatic flight trajectory tracking under multiple model uncertainties related to the knowledge of the nonlinear dynamics of the system. The optimal control is also addressed taking into consideration unknown external disturbances. To achieve this goal, we propose a new optimal model-free fuzzy logic–based decentralized control strategy where the influence of the interconnection term between the subsystems is minimized. A model-free controller is firstly designed to achieve the convergence of the tracking error. For this purpose, an adaptive estimator is proposed to ensure the approximation of the nonlinear dynamic functions of the quadrotor. The fuzzy logic compensator is then introduced to deal with the estimation error. Moreover, the optimization problem to select the optimal design parameters of the proposed controller is solved using the bat algorithm. Finally, a numerical validation based on the Parrot drone platform is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method with various flying scenarios.

Abstract - In the world of education to achieve the level of success, of course, they have a benchmark for the success of students, one of them is the Grade Point Average (GPA). The purpose of this study is to determine the final GPA so that later it can be used as a reference to predict the success rate of students. The issue of decision-making systems using Fuzzy systems is very suitable for definite reasoning or estimation, especially for systems with strict mathematical models that are difficult to get a definite decision. Fuzzy logic can be used to describe a system of chaotic dynamics, and fuzzy logic can be useful for complex dynamic systems where solutions to common mathematical models cannot work well. The Mamdani method computes efficiently and works well with optimization and adaptive techniques, which makes it very good in control problems, especially for dynamic non-linear systems.

With increased application of fuzzy logic in complex control systems, there is a need for a structured methodological approach in the development of fuzzy logic systems. Current fuzzy logic systems are developed based on individualistic bases and cannot face the challenge of interacting with other (fuzzy) systems in a dynamic environment. In this chapter a method for development of fuzzy systems that can interact with other (fuzzy) systems is proposed. Specifically a method for designing hierarchical self-learning fuzzy logic control systems based on the integration of genetic algorithms and fuzzy logic to provide an integrated knowledge base for intelligent control of mobile robots for collision-avoidance in a common workspace. The robots are considered as point masses moving in a common work space. Genetic algorithms are employed as an adaptive method for learning the fuzzy rules of the control systems as well as learning, the mapping and interaction between fuzzy knowledge bases of different fuzzy logic systems.

We propose to use an approach based on fuzzy logic for the adaptation of gap generation and mutation probability in a genetic algorithm. The performance of this method is presented with the benchmark problem of flight control and results show how it can decrease the error during the flight of an airplane using fuzzy logic for some parameters of the genetic algorithm. In this case of study, we use fuzzy systems for adapting two parameters of the genetic algorithm to improve the design of a type 2 fuzzy controller and enhance its performance to achieve flight control. Finally, a statistical test is presented to prove the performance enhancement in the application using fuzzy adaptation in the genetic algorithm. It is important to mention that not only is this idea for control problems but also it can be used in pattern recognition and many different problems.
