A method of controlling the movements of a multi-actuator
electro-mechanical system having a matrix of locally interconnected analog
cells associated therewith is provided. Each cell represents a hardware
implementation of a model of fuzzy inference rules. The model includes a
fuzzy circuit architecture which may be implemented in an integrated
circuit with VLSI CMOS technology that generates and controls a reaction
diffusion mechanism typical of auto-waves using a fuzzy neural network.
The fuzzy neural network defines the functional relationships that may
duplicate simultaneous reaction diffusion equations. The duplication of
the simultaneous reaction diffusion equations is provided using two sets
of fuzzy rules processing, in a linguistic manner, the state variables of
the cells. An oscillatory type dynamic is imposed on each cell where two
dynamic processes having different kinetic characteristics coexist.
