INTRODUCTIONWhen one uses a washing machine, the person
generally select the length of wash time based on theamount of clothes he/she wish to wash and the typeand degree of dirt cloths have.
We use sensors to detect these parameters (i.e. volumeof clothes, degree and type of dirt). The wash time is
then determined from this data.

PROBLEM DEFINITION fuzzy logic controlled washing machine controller
gives the correct wash time even though a precisemodel of the input/output relationship is notavailable.
There are two inputs are:
1. Degree of dirt
2. Type of dirt

The sets of rules used here to derive the output are:
1. If dirtness_of_clothes is Large and type_of_dirt isGreasy then wash_time is VeryLong;
2. If dirtness_of_clothes is Medium and type_of_dirt is
Greasy then wash_time is Long;3. If dirtness_of_clothes is Small and type_of_dirt is
Greasy then wash_time is Long;
4 . If dirtness_of_clothes is Large and type_of_dirt isMedium then wash_time is Long;
5. If dirtness_of_clothes is Medium and type_of_dirt isMedium then wash_time is Medium;

6. If dirtness_of_clothes is Small and type_of_dirt is Medium
then wash_time is Medium;7. If dirtness_of_clothes is Large and type_of_dirt is NotGreasy
then wash_time is Medium;
8. If dirtness_of_clothes is Medium and type_of_dirt isNotGreasy then wash_time is Short;
9. If dirtness_of_clothes is Small and type_of_dirt is NotGreasythen wash_time is VeryShort

The two input parameters after being read from the
sensors are fuzzified as per the membership functionof the respective variables.
These in additions with the membership functioncurve are utilized to come to a solution (using some
criteria). At last the crisp value of the wash_time isobtained as an answer.

CONCLUSION
10/15/2013 12
Using fuzzy logic ,situation analysis ability has beenincorporated in the machine which makes the machinemuch more automatic.
The results (the above plot) shows the way the machinewill response in different conditions.
For example, if we take type_of_dirt and direness valueboth to be 100, the wash_time which the model output is
equivalent to 60 minutes. This is quite convincing andappropriate.

By the use of fuzzy logic control we have been able toobtain a wash time for different type of dirt anddifferent degree of dirt.
