This paper considers the abstract features of human/machine interaction systems that are required for the production of intelligent behaviour. A conceptual architecture is proposed for a subset of intelligent systems called human-centred intelligent systems (HCISs) and it is argued that such systems must be autonomous, robust and adaptive in order to be intelligent. Soft computing is proposed as a promising new technique that can be used to build HCISs, and examples are presented where this is already being done. Finally, flexibility is defined to be a combination of the often-conflicting requirements of robustness and adaptability, and it is argued that the right balance between these two features is necessary to achieve intelligent behaviour.

A prototype large electrical machine running on active magnetic bearings is described. This rig is controlled by a digital signal processor connected by a custom interface to MATLAB/Simulink hosted by a PC. The on-line tuning of a PID controller is set up as an optimisation problem from MATLAB and a multiobjective genetic algorithm is used to drive the optimisation. The results of an optimisation are presented and analysed.

Research in human/computer interaction has mainly focused on natural language, text, speech and vision primarily in isolation. Recently there have been a number of research projects that have concentrated on the integration of such modalities using intelligent reasoners. The rationale is that many inherent ambiguities in single modes of communication can be resolved if extra information is available. This paper describes an intelligent multi-modal system called the Smart Work Manager. The main characteristics of the Smart Work Manager are that it can process speech, text, face images, gaze information and simulated gestures rising the mouse as input modalities, and its output is in the form of speech, text or graphics. The main components of the system are the reasoner, a speech system, a vision system, an integration platform and the application interface. The overall architecture of the system will be described together with the integration platform and the components of the system which include a non-intrusive neural network based gaze-tracking system. The paper concludes with a discussion on the applicability of such systems to intelligent human/computer interaction and lessons learnt in terms of reliability and efficiency.

A block diagonal form about a nonlinear system is defined. Based on the de finition, a design method ca1led block diagonal controller (BDC) is proPOsed bo feedbacklinearization. Thus, a linearization design of a class of nonlinear system can be simply re-alized. The result of design has been proved by mathematical simulation of a certain anti-ship missile.

The goal of this study was to examine the ability of Neural Networks to recognise the levels of anaesthetic state of a patient. Data obtained under different levels of anaesthesia have been modelled for the purpose. It is shown that inferential parameters can be used to recognise the levels of anaesthesia. In addition to demonstrating the ability of neural networks for classification we were interested in understanding the classification strategy discovered by the neural networks. Multivariate data analysis techniques, namely Principal Components Analysis and Canonical Discriminant Variates, were applied to analyse the resultant networks. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

The paper presents an application-oriented robust decentralized control design technique based upon the sufficient condition for robust stability (SCRS) of systems under decentralized control (DC) which is fulfilled using parameter tuning of fixed-structure local controllers. Graphical interpretation of the SCRS provides two useful stability criteria used to test stability of the overall system as well as stability of subsystems. Theoretical results are illustrated in a case study.

This paper presents a genetic-based approach to multi-criteria position and configuration optimisation of mobile manipulator systems. Optimisation criteria include obstacle avoidance, least joint torque norm, manipulability and joint torque distribution. Due to the competition among various criteria, the multi-criteria optimisation problem typically exhibits many local minima. The emphasis of the paper is put on using genetic algorithms to search for global optimum and solve the minilnax problem for torque distribution. Various simulations for a system including a three-link lnanipulator mounted on a mobile platform show that the proposed genetic algorithm approach performs better than conventional methods.
