I just updated the post I made with the video on fuzzy logic to a link of an article all about fuzzy logic.

It seems that the Europeans and the Chinese have adapted this methodology already and are doing a lot of real applications in this area. Yet the US factories haven't. I don't know how old the article is though. Now I am totally sold on studying this. Haha.

We say computers are good with precise numbers, but how much better would it be if computers could do well in imprecise situations? I would not be surprised if this is used in military technologies, and hopefully the US isn't behind on that. I assume right away that homing devices use some sort of fuzzy logic.

Now lets put this to games. AI in games would be easier to implement and much smarter. In that case controls would have to be made better (to have a fair advantage).

And now it's getting creepy, because I can't even begin to expound on the applications. I even picked up another term "linguistic variables."

Here is a quote from the article:

HOW IS FL DIFFERENT FROM CONVENTIONAL CONTROL METHODS?

FL incorporates a simple, rule-based IF X AND Y THEN Z approach to a solving control problem rather than attempting to model a system mathematically. The FL model is empirically-based, relying on an operator's experience rather than their technical understanding of the system. For example, rather than dealing with temperature control in terms such as "SP =500F", "T <1000F", or "210C <TEMP <220C", terms like "IF (process is too cool) AND (process is getting colder) THEN (add heat to the process)" or "IF (process is too hot) AND (process is heating rapidly) THEN (cool the process quickly)" are used. These terms are imprecise and yet very descriptive of what must actually happen. Consider what you do in the shower if the temperature is too cold: you will make the water comfortable very quickly with little trouble. FL is capable of mimicking this type of behavior but at very high rate.
