Abstract
Fuzzy logic is being implemented in control systems for a wide range of Japanese consumer products. The reason why fuzzy logic is used so widely in Japan is described in this chapter. Both the “Fuzzy” washing machine and the video camera equipped with the “Fuzzy gyro” are explained. Furthermore, new technology which integrates neural networks and fuzzy logic is reported. This “neuro-fuzzy” technology is already being introduced to the Japanese market.
