Fuzzy logic

Fuzzy logic is a many-valued logic system: it handles partial truth by assigning a degree of truth between 0 and 1, moving beyond the binary constraints of Boolean logic (0 or 1).

Developed by Lotfi Zadeh in 1965, Fuzzy logic models human-like reasoning to manage imprecise or vague data. This technology uses linguistic variables (e.g., 'very dirty,' 'slightly cool') to map continuous inputs to a set of rules, enabling flexible decision-making in control systems. Key applications include anti-lock braking systems (ABS), automated washing machines, and advanced temperature regulation in air conditioning units.
