Review of ANFIS and its Application in Control of Machining Processes

Abstract

Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) are increasingly becoming popular in the modern world. This is due to their ability to model or represent vagueness in day to day activities or processes. These systems have the potential to adaptively control processes that present a difficulty to the conventional control techniques due to their ability to predict the likely outcome given a set of conditions or inputs. This paper looks at ANFIS and its applications in multidisciplinary fields and specifically, its use in control of machining processes. Some potential areas of application ANFIS are highlighted.
