This document provides an introduction to fuzzy logic and fuzzy systems. It discusses classical set theory versus fuzzy set theory and membership functions. Types of fuzzy membership functions like triangular, trapezoidal, and Gaussian are shown. The key components of a fuzzy logic controller including fuzzification, fuzzy inference system, and defuzzification are described. Several defuzzification methods such as mean of maxima, centroid, and approximate centroid are explained. Examples of fuzzy applications in areas like washing machines and autonomous vehicles are presented. The document also discusses building fuzzy systems using MATLAB/Simulink and at the command line. Finally, it briefly introduces PID fuzzy controllers.
