The FuzzyLite Libraries for Fuzzy Logic Control

By Juan Rada-Vilela, Ph.D.

Current Versions

(20/03/2017)   QtFuzzyLite 6 for Windows, Linux, and MacOSX
(20/03/2017)   fuzzylite 6.0 for C++
(20/03/2017)   jfuzzylite 6.0 for Java and Android

Introduction

QtFuzzyLite 6 is (very likely) the best application available to easily design and directly operate fuzzy logic controllers in real time.
fuzzylite is a free and open-source fuzzy logic control library programmed in C++ for multiple platforms (e.g., Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS).
jfuzzylite is the equivalent fuzzylite library for Java and Android platforms.

Features

The FuzzyLite Libraries have the following features:
(6) Controllers: Mamdani, Takagi-Sugeno, Larsen, Tsukamoto, Inverse Tsukamoto, Hybrids

(21) Linguistic terms: (4) Basic: triangle, trapezoid, rectangle, discrete.
(9) Extended: bell, cosine, gaussian, gaussian product, pi-shape, sigmoid difference, sigmoid product, spike.
(5) Edges: binary, concave, ramp, sigmoid, s-shape, z-shape.
(3) Functions: constant, linear, function.

(7) Activation methods: general, proportional, threshold, first, last, lowest, highest.

(8) Conjunction and Implication (T-Norms): minimum, algebraic product, bounded difference, drastic product, einstein product, hamacher product, nilpotent minimum, function.

(10) Disjunction and Aggregation (S-Norms): maximum, algebraic sum, bounded sum, drastic sum, einstein sum, hamacher sum, nilpotent maximum, normalized sum, unbounded sum, function.

(7) Defuzzifiers: (5) Integral: centroid, bisector, smallest of maximum, largest of maximum, mean of maximum.
(2) Weighted: weighted average, weighted sum.

(7) Hedges: any, not, extremely, seldom, somewhat, very, function.

(3) Importers: FuzzyLite Language fll, Fuzzy Inference System fis, Fuzzy Control Language fcl.

(7) Exporters: C++, Java, FuzzyLite Language fll, FuzzyLite Dataset fld, R script, Fuzzy Inference System fis, Fuzzy Control Language fcl.

(30+) Examples of Mamdani, Takagi-Sugeno, Tsukamoto, and Hybrid controllers from fuzzylite, Octave, and Matlab, each included in the following formats: C++, Java, fll, fld, R, fis, and fcl.

In addition, you can easily:

  • Create your own classes inheriting from fuzzylite, register them in the factories, and incorporate them to operate in fuzzylite.
  • Utilize multiple rule blocks within a single engine, each containing any number of (possibly weighted) rule, and different conjunction, disjunction and activation operators.
  • Write inference rules just naturally, e.g., "if obstacle is left then steer is right".
  • Return a default output value, lock the output values to be within specific ranges, lock the previous valid output value when no rules are activated.
  • Explore the function space of your controller.
  • Utilize the entire library across multiple threads as it is thread-safe.
  • Download the sources, documentation, and binaries for the major platforms in the Downloads tab.
