A Methodological Proposal for Implementing Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Processors Over Digital Signal Controllers

This article presents a methodological proposal for implementing interval type-2 fuzzy processors over digital signal controller technology. We describe the main considerations that a practitioner or an engineer should follow when implementing an interval type-2 fuzzy system over an embedded processor. These considerations guide the implementation study of eight interval type-2 fuzzy processors, which are fully characterized and tested. Results show that by combining fast computing strategies and technologies like digital signal controllers, the inference time of an embedded type-2 fuzzy processor can be set to hundreds of microseconds.
