- Fuzzy logic was developed by Lotfi Zadeh to address applications involving subjective or vague data like "attractive person" that cannot be easily analyzed using binary logic. It allows for partial truth values between completely true and completely false.
- Fuzzy logic controllers mimic human decision making and involve fuzzifying inputs, applying fuzzy rules, and defuzzifying outputs. This allows systems to be specified in human terms and automated.
- Fuzzy logic has many applications from industrial process control to consumer products like washing machines and microwaves. It offers an intuitive way to model real-world ambiguities compared to mathematical or logic-based approaches.
