Quantisation of control space is frequently present on a mobile robot. This often results on position errors due to the finite set of available wheels velocities. In this article, the authors present two algorithms that can be used for minimising these position errors on robot motion. The first algorithm can be used to perform pure rotations (no translation) of the mobile robot. The second algorithm can be used to perform straight-line motions, between the mobile robot current position, and a predefined goal position in its working environment. Results of simulation experiments demonstrating the effectiveness of the algorithm are presented.

This paper proposes a method for Soft Sensors design using a Multilayer Perceptron model based on co-evolutionary genetic algorithms, called CEV-MLP. This method jointly and automatically selects the best input variables and the best configuration of the network for the prediction setting. The CEV-MLP is constituted by three levels, the first level selects the best input variables and respective delays set, the second level is composed by the parameters of hidden layers to be optimized (number of neurons in the hidden layers and transfer function), and the third level is the combination of first and second level. The method was successfully applied, and compared with two state-of-the-art methods, in three real datasets. In all the experiments, the proposed method shows the best approximation accuracy, while all the design of the prediction setting is performed automatically.

The paper proposes a new method to automatically extract all fuzzy parameters of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) in order to control nonlinear industrial processes. The learning of the FLC is performed from controller input/output data and by a hierarchical genetic algorithm (HGA). The algorithm is composed by a five level structure, where the first level is responsible for the selection of an adequate set of input variables. The second level considers the encoding of the membership functions. The individual rules are defined on the third level. The set of rules are obtained on the fourth level, and finally, the fifth level, selects the elements of the previous levels, as well as, the t-norm operator, inference engine and defuzzifier methods which constitute the FLC. To demonstrate and validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, it is applied to control a simulated water tank level process.

This work addresses the problem of controlling unknown and time varying plants for industrial applications. To deal with such problem several Self-Tuning Controllers with a Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) structure have been chosen. The selected controllers are based on different methodologies, and some use implicit identification techniques (Single Neuron and Support Vector Machine) while the others use explicit identification (Dahlin, Pole placement, Deadbeat and Ziegler-Nichols) based in the Least Squares Method. The controllers were tested on a real DC motor with a varying load. The results have shown that all the tested methods were able to properly control an unknown plant with varying dynamics.

The paper discusses new developments of the data fusion paradigm due to Cortesao and Koeppe (1999, 2000). A bank of Kalman filters is analyzed in the fusion process. Experiments for a robotic compliant motion task (peg-in-hole) emerged from human skills are reported. Stereo vision and pose sense are fused to execute the task. Feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) are trained to transfer human skills to robotic manipulators.

This paper proposes a method for online variable selection and model learning (AdaFSML-RLS) to be applied in industrial applications in the context of adaptive soft sensors. In the proposed method the model learning is made online and recursivelly, i.e it is not necessary to store the past values of data while learning the model. Furthermore, the proposed method has the capability of tracking the real time correlation coefficient between each variable and the target, allowing the knowledge about the importance of variables over the time. Moreover, in this method is not necessary to have any knowledge about the process or variables. The method was sucessfully applied in two datasets, an artificial dataset and in a real-world dataset.

The paper describes the formulation of multi-contact compliant motion control. It extends our previous work to non-rigid environments. The contact forces are controlled through active observers (AOB), based on the Kalman filter theory. Noise characteristics enter in the control design and are estimated on-line.

The paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy predictive control method. The proposed controller is based on the Generalized predictive control (GPC) algorithm, and a recurrent fuzzy neural network (RFNN) is used to approximate the unknown nonlinear plant. To provide good accuracy in identification of unknown model parameters, an online adaptive law is proposed to adapt the consequent part of the RFNN, and its antecedent part is adapted by back-propagation method. The stability of closed-loop control system is studied and proved via the Lyapunov stability theory. A nonlinear lab oratory-scale liquid-level process is used to validate and demonstrate the performance of the proposed control. The simulation results show that the proposed method has good performance and disturbance rejection capacity in industrial processes and outperforms the PID and the classical GPC controllers.
