In engineering field, it is necessary to know the model of the real nonlinear systems to ensure its control and supervision; in this context, fuzzy modeling and especially the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model has drawn the attention of several researchers in recent decades owing to their potential to approximate nonlinear behavior. To identify the parameters of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model several clustering algorithms are developed such as the Fuzzy -Means (FCM) algorithm, Possibilistic -Means (PCM) algorithm, and Possibilistic Fuzzy -Means (PFCM) algorithm. This paper presents a new clustering algorithm for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model identification. Our proposed algorithm called Robust Kernel Possibilistic Fuzzy -Means (RKPFCM) algorithm is an extension of the PFCM algorithm based on kernel method, where the Euclidean distance used the robust hyper tangent kernel function. The proposed algorithm can solve the nonlinear separable problems found by FCM, PCM, and PFCM algorithms. Then an optimization method using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method combined with the RKPFCM algorithm is presented to overcome the convergence to a local minimum of the objective function. Finally, validation results of examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness, practicality, and robustness of our proposed algorithm in stochastic environment.
