Intelligent control of a flying vehicle using fuzzy associative memory system

The authors propose a flying vehicle intelligent control system which simulates the pilots operation knowledge and training steps. To simulate the operation knowledge and training steps, a fuzzy associative memory system called FAMOUS was used. FAMOUS uses associative memory neural networks which represent fuzzy knowledge. There are two types of operation knowledge; dynamic fuzzy knowledge, for example the circular flight operation pattern; and static fuzzy knowledge, for example the hovering operation model corresponding to each flying condition. FAMOUS represents both dynamic and static fuzzy knowledge using its hierarchical knowledge representation. The implementation of the intelligent control system using FAMOUS and the realization of hovering flight and circular flight are discussed
