The paper presents an introduction to fuzzy logic control through the pollution control problem of internal combustion engines. The fuzzy sets and variables are next defined and applied to design the controller of an inverted pendulum on a moving car. This example allows us also to illustrate the inference concept of triangular fuzzy functions which is based on the Min-Max Centre-of-gravity rule.
