Thesis Summary

 This paper gives a description of implementation of the Sugeno fuzzy controller based on the microcontroller PIC18F4680 manufactured by the Microchip company.The whole realization procedure, with a theoretical analysis as a starting point and the creation of hardware and software parts of the system as the final step, has been analyzed.The presentation of the fuzzy system in a form suitable for memorizing on a microcontroller has been shown.  The whole procedure of the fuzzy Sugeno reasoning has been adapted to execution on a microcontroller.  The accent has been given to its limited memory resources and to reaching of a sufficient execution speed.The hardware and software parts of the system have been processed in detail, with a stress put on specific solutions that enabled accurate functioning of the regulator.Upon realization of the system, its experimental validation has been undertaken.  It has been done by screening the surface of the controller, and by applying the former on a laboratory model for regulation of the level of liquid in reservoir.
