Description
Summary:Recent technical progress has made new forms of controller implementations on computers possible. Especially the technique of Fuzzy Logic Control has found a growing number of applications. Also the development of fast A/D converters has made the acquisation of data with vision based systems possible. In this project we combine the two techniques of Fuzzy Logic Control and Vision Feedback to control an inverted pendulum and to determine their usefulness and limitations. The experiment was conducted and provided us with the data necessary to judge the performance of the new control strategy. The gathered data support the hypothesis that it is possible to control the inverted pendulum with Fuzzy Logic Control using Vision Feedback, though not without limitations. === Graduation date: 1995
