A method of controlling the movements of a multi-actuator electro-mechanical system having a matrix of locally interconnected analog cells associated therewith is provided. Each cell represents a hardware implementation of a model of fuzzy inference rules. The model includes a fuzzy circuit architecture which may be implemented in an integrated circuit with VLSI CMOS technology that generates and controls a reaction diffusion mechanism typical of auto-waves using a fuzzy neural network. The fuzzy neural network defines the functional relationships that may duplicate simultaneous reaction diffusion equations. The duplication of the simultaneous reaction diffusion equations is provided using two sets of fuzzy rules processing, in a linguistic manner, the state variables of the cells. An oscillatory type dynamic is imposed on each cell where two dynamic processes having different kinetic characteristics coexist.
