I know many rice cookers use fuzzy logic (or fuzzy math?) So it cooks the rice the right amount of time. How does this work?
In: Technology
You don’t need fuzzy logic to cook rice properly. It’s just one of many control systems which are available on the market. The basic idea is to use the same logic as a non-fuzzy system would use (is there enough water? Did I heat it to the temperature when I should turn off the heater? Did all of it evaporate? Is it still warm enough to serve?) and introduce a bit of shades of gray in the chip’s reasoning. So, for instance, where a non-fuzzy system might continue to heat the rice because the temperature is not exactly right, drying it in the process, a fuzzy system will correctly handle a situation where the rice is _almost_ at the temperature but _barely_ started to dry up.
