Fuzzy electronics

Fuzzy electronics are a type of technology that helps machines (or other electronic devices) understand the world around them. It uses information, like numbers and words, to recognize patterns in the environment, like the type of material a particular object is made of. It then uses this information to figure out how to interact with the object in a way that will achieve the best result. For example, in a robot vacuum cleaner, fuzzy electronics might be used to help the machine recognize different kinds of rugs and then adjust its speed accordingly. This allows it to clean the rug more effectively.
