Clustering is one of the well-known unsupervised learning methods that groups data into homogeneous clusters, and has been successfully used in various applications. Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) is one of the representative methods in fuzzy clustering. In FCM, however, cluster centers tend leaning to high density area because the sum of Euclidean distances in FCM forces high…

Collision risk index has been studied as the required quantitative values for decision-making of collision avoidance between ships. Recently, inference methods of the collision risk were proposed on the basis of the fuzzy theory because of being possible to collect data in real time. Existing fuzzy inference system was composed of only simulation results using…

This paper deals with the control problem for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots moving on the plane, and in particular, the use of a Fuzzy controller technique for achieving a given motion task which consists of following a rectilinear trajectory until an obstacle occurs on the path. After a background part, in which the fundamental knowledge…

Our research deals with the single-vehicle routing problem (VRP) with multi-shift and fuzzy uncertainty. In such a problem, a company constantly uses one vehicle to serve demand over a scheduling period of different work shifts. Our issue relies on a routing problem in maintenance jobs, where a crew executes jobs in different sites. The crew…

A selective harmonic elimination system using fuzzy logic for the elimination of high magnitude harmonics with frequencies close to fundamental in the output voltage of single phase inverters is presented. The system does not require look up tables for storage of the data as in traditional harmonic elimination methods. The input of the fuzzy system…

The pitch angle controller maintains the aerodynamic captured power at rated level when the wind speed is above the rated speed. Besides, it can also improve the transient stability occurring in the wind energy system (WES). This paper, therefore, proposes an effective pitch angle control strategy that can deliver the conditioned output power in windy…
