Identifying cancer cells in a medical image and altering the trajectory of airplanes at take-off and landing to reduce noise pollution are just two of the goals of new research projects based on the use of fuzzy logic. This mathematical technique, which emerged in the 1960s and is now widely used in industrial control systems and electrical appliances, is central to the development of artificial intelligence and can also be used to quantify the vagueness of qualitative concepts.
