Читать книгу Introduction to Fuzzy Logic - James K. Peckol - Страница 36

Either one. Good tools and solutions are available for hardware and software. However, today fuzzy logic is essentially a “software type” technology and should probably be considered and evaluated that way. This is good news to us as designers. It means that we should be able to take advantage of all that we've learned about developing good software and hardware systems and apply it to developing good fuzzy logic solutions.

As with software, continuous technological improvements will ensure a migration of fuzzy logic into hardware. Hardware solutions may certainly run faster, but software solutions are more flexible and do offer a hedge against the possible unavailability of parts. Such systems, as we'll see, also have the ability to learn. Whichever approach is finally selected, one still needs to go through the rigorous process of analyzing the product under development, making the same trade‐offs we have always made, and thoroughly testing the resulting design and product for safety and reliability.
