Fuzzy discrete event systems (FDESs) have been introduced in recent years to model systems whose discrete states or discrete state transitions can be uncertain and are, hence, determined by a possibility degree. This paper develops an FDES framework for the control of sampled data systems that have to fulfill multiple objectives. The choice of a fuzzy system representation is justified by the assumption of a controller realization that depends on various potentially imprecise sensor measurements. The proposed framework consists of three basic steps that are performed at each sampling instant. First, the current fuzzy state of the system is determined by a sensor evaluation. Second, the fuzzy state in the future sampling instant is predicted for all possible control actions of the system. Finally, an original multiobjective weighting strategy is proposed to determine the control action to be applied in the current sampling instant. The features of the proposed approach are demonstrated by a detailed mobile robot example, which includes a simulation study.

Fuzzy Hybrid Systems modeling with application in decision making and control Boutalis, Yiannis; Moor, Thomas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-11-28) Hybrid Systems are systems containing both discrete event and continuous variable components. Many recent contributions address crisp situations, where ambiguity or subjectivity in the measured data is absent. In this paper, we propose Fuzzy Hybrid Systems to account for inaccurate measurements and uncertain dynamics. We present a strategy to determine the most appropriate control actions in a sampled data setting. The proposed approach is based on three basic steps that are performed in each sampling perio...
Multi-objective decision making using fuzzy discrete event systems: A mobile robot example Boutalis, Yiannis; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2010-09-29) In this paper, we propose an approach for the multi-objective control of sampled data systems that can be modeled as fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES). In our work, the choice of a fuzzy system representation is justified by the assumption of a controller realization that depends on various potentially imprecise sensor measurements. Our approach consists of three basic steps that are performed in each sampling instant. First, the current fuzzy state of the system is determined by a sensor evaluation. Seco...
Mobile robot navigation based on fuzzy discrete event systems Tampakis, Georgios; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Boutalis, Yiannis (2009-12-01) Recently, several approaches for the control of fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES) have been proposed. First results towards the use of FDES in mobile robot navigation have also been presented, which however mainly build on sensory information processing. In this paper, we develop a methodology to compute control actions for the navigation of a mobile robot based on distributed FDES. The FDES description permits to take into account possible uncertainties in sensory information and enables a prediction of ...
Supervisory control and formal methods for distributed systems İnan, Kemal (1992-08-28) A brief introductory exposure for logical discrete event system models is presented. Based on a specific version of this model tailored to supervisory control, some of the mainstream supervisory control problems are formulated in a unified framework. Formal methods used in software engineering has certain computational and structural similarities to supervisory control and unlike the latter, is closely connected to realistic and widespread practical applications. Formal specification, verification, impleme...
Controller synthesis for an I/O-based hierarchical system architecture Perk, Sebastian; Moor, Thomas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2008-10-08) In our previous work, a framework for the hierarchical design of discrete event systems has been introduced that is based on a notion of inputs and outputs. I/O-plant models describe the interaction of each subsystem with the operator (or controller) and the environment. By alternation of subsystem composition and controller synthesis, a hierarchy of controllers is obtained that complements a hierarchy of environment models. An admissibility condition was presented that implies liveness while allowing for a...
