A comparative study of a classical expert system and an adaptive fuzzy expert control system for an inverted pendulum is presented. Specifically, three controllers are compared: constant gain, expert controller, and an adaptive fuzzy expert controller. The comparative study was done by means of computer simulation through the Matlab and Togai InfraLogic's Fuzzy-C software programs. It is seen that the fuzzy expert controller provides much better performance than the regular expert system.< >

Dynamic segmentation is a method for improving the performance of cooperating tasks executed on loosely coupled multiprocessors. Four different data transfer techniques that can be used for intersegment data transfers in dynamically segmented buses are analyzed. Preemptive data transfers are considered for uniform message latencies and results are provided for message latency comparisons using various locality factors. These results indicate dynamic segmentation improves performance considerably, at a fraction of the cost of more complex interconnection networks such as multiple buses.< >

A new approach to solving the collision detection problem for mobile robots in the presence of moving obstacles is proposed. Both the robot and obstacles in the two-dimensional space are assumed to be polygonal and are composed of a set of convex polygons. The half-plane representation uses an algebraic method to describe the object motion including translation and rotation through time. Compared with previous methods, the proposed representation is more general in that obstacles are now allowed to move at nonconstant velocities. To detect collision between polygonal objects, a traversability vector method was developed. Traversability vectors are a simple mechanism used to analyze geometric constraints imposed by polygons. Using these vectors, a simple algorithm for predicting collision is derived. computer simulations were conducted to show the feasibility of the proposed method.< >

Sensing is one of the most essential aspects of any robotic application, be it manufacturing or any automated process. Robotic sensors can be divided into two classes of " internal " and " external ". Examples of the first group are position or velocity, while the second group includes proximity, touch, or vision to name a few. The other important problem in manufacturing is interfacing with the environment within a cell. The object of this tutorial paper is to survey the two issues of "sensing" and "interfacing" in robotics.and manufacturing.
