Abstract: Fuzzy logic is a practical, robust, economical and intelligent alternative for controller design of complex systems. Choosing appropriate fuzzy rules is essential for a fuzzy logic controller to perform at the desired level. Various evolutionary algorithms are used to find an optimal set of fuzzy rules in the literature. In this paper, an artificial bee’s colony (ABC) optimization algorithm and Ant colony algorithm are used to optimize the fuzzy membership functions to control the deviation in pendulum angle and velocity. The proposed control techniques are implemented in MATLAB/Simulink platform and the control performances are evaluated. With the ABC based fuzzy, the inverted pendulum is remaining in the steady position with less error.
