Abstract

Modern engineering systems increasingly face uncertainty, nonlinear interactions, and competing objectives, demanding intelligent mechanisms capable of flexible decision-making. Hybrid approaches that combine Fuzzy Logic (FL) with evolutionary and metaheuristic strategies have emerged as powerful tools for handling ambiguous information while exploring complex search spaces. Earlier studies demonstrated the usefulness of embedding fuzzy inference into global optimization processes, while recent innovations highlight improvements in adaptive modeling, structural tuning, and multi-objective trade-off management. These hybrid systems now support diverse domains including robotics, sustainable manufacturing, distributed computing, and nonlinear dynamic control. Newer architectures—such as neuro-fuzzy frameworks, fractal-based fuzzy controllers, and hybrid nature-inspired search mechanisms—illustrate significant progress in achieving robustness and interpretability under uncertainty. This review synthesizes these advancements, offering a structured perspective on methodological trends, applications, and emerging directions in hybrid fuzzy–metaheuristic optimization.
