Abstract

This paper proposes a novel intelligent control scheme using type-2 fuzzy neural network (type-2 FNN) system. The control scheme is developed using a type-2 FNN controller and an adaptive compensator. The type-2 FNN combines the type-2 fuzzy logic system (FLS), neural network, and its learning algorithm using the optimal learning algorithm. The properties of type-1 FNN system parallel computation scheme and parameter convergence are easily extended to type-2 FNN systems. In addition, a robust adaptive control scheme which combines the adaptive type-2 FNN controller and compensated controller is proposed for nonlinear uncertain systems. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.
