Abstract: The task of the standard Mamdani fuzzy logic controller is to find a crisp control action from the fuzzy rule-base and from a set of crisp inputs. In this paper we modify this controller in order to work with Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets and to activate a set of rules having the same conclusion. Usually, the inference rules used in a fuzzy logic controller are given by a domain expert; in our system, these rules are automatically induced as fuzzy association rules starting from a training set. The fuzzy confidence value associated with each rule is used to obtain the fuzzy set inferred by our system.

Keywords: Fuzzy logic controller, Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets, t-norm, implication, association rules
