Employing Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems in the Efforts to Realize Ambient Intelligent Environments [Application Notes]

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is an emerging vision that aims to realize intelligent environments which are sensitive and responsive to the users´ needs and behaviors. This paper presents an insight on the benefits that type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLSs) can offer towards the efforts to realize Ambient Intelligent Environments (AIEs). We will introduce research results from the Scaleup project showing different type-2 FLSs based applications in AIEs. Such applications include intelligent machine vision systems, blending real and virtual realities over dispersed geographical areas and allowing natural communication between the AIE and humans.
