Dual heuristic programming for fuzzy control

Overview material for the Special Session (Tuning Fuzzy Controllers Using Adaptive Critic Based Ap- proximate Dynamic Programming) is provided. The Dual Heuristic Programming (DHP) method of A p- proximate Dynamic Programming is described and used to the design a fuzzy control system. DHP and related techniques have been developed in the neurocontrol context but can be equally productive when used with fuzzy controllers or neuro-fuzzy hybrids. This technique is demonstrated by desig ning a te mperature controller for a simple water bath system. In this example, we take advantage of the TSK model framework to initialize the tunable parameters of our plant model with reasonable problem specific values.
