FuzzyLite

The FuzzyLite Libraries for Fuzzy Logic Control refer to fuzzylite (C++), pyfuzzylite (Python), and jfuzzylite (Java).

The goal of the FuzzyLite Libraries is to easily design and efficiently operate fuzzy logic controllers following an object-oriented programming model with minimal dependency on external libraries.

License

pyfuzzylite is dual-licensed under the GNU GPL 3.0 and under a proprietary license for commercial purposes.

You are strongly encouraged to support the development of the FuzzyLite Libraries by purchasing a license of QtFuzzyLite.

QtFuzzyLite is the best graphical user interface available to easily design and directly operate fuzzy logic controllers in real time. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, its goal is to significantly speed up the design of your fuzzy logic controllers, while providing a very useful, functional and beautiful user interface. Please, download it and check it out for free at fuzzylite.com/downloads.

Install

pip install pyfuzzylite
