An introduction to second-generation expert systems is provided starting with a discussion of the limitations of first-generation systems. A few architectures proposed for the second-generation expert systems are reviewed, a tour on the expert systems approach to fault diagnostic/control system design is made, and some issues that must be addressed in future works are highlighted. A sketch of a deep expert system developed by the author’s group is also provided.

This paper provides a short review of the neural network approach to system control with reference to robotic systems. Starting with an exposition of the main neurocontrol architectures, the paper overviews the literature on the application of neural networks to robot kinematics, dynamics, path planning and motion control, including some work on neurofuzzy control. To appreciate better robot neurocontrol, an unsupervised robot neurocontroller is presented in some detail. The paper includes a discussion of the criticism made to the neural control paradigms, and an outline of some interesting areas for further research.

The phenomenon of overtraining in backpropagation neural networks is discussed. The relationships between network size, training set size and generalization capabilities are examined. An extension to an existing algorithm of backpropagation is described. The extended algorithm provides a new energy function and its advantages, such as improved plasticity and performance, along with its dynamic properties, are explained. The algorithm is applied to some common problems and simulation results are presented and discussed.< >

A recent discrete-time robotic model is employed and linearized to develop three different LQ-type robot controllers, namely optimal time-varying linear-quadratic controller (OTVLQ), OTVLQ controller with steady-state error elimination, and one-step ahead optimal LQ controller. These controllers require moderate computational effort and are suitable for microprocessor-based implementation. Experimental results on a KUKA IR 160/15 robotic model verified the success and efficiency of the controllers.

Very complex technical and other physical processes require sophisticated methods of fault diagnosis and online condition monitoring. Various conventional techniques have already been well investigated and presented in the literature. However, in the last few years, a lot of attention has been given to adaptive methods based on artificial neural networks, which can significantly improve the symptom interpretation and system performance in a case of malfunctioning. Such methods are especially considered in cases where no explicit algorithms or models for the problem under investigation exist. In such problems, automatic interpretation of faulty symptoms with the use of artificial neural network classifiers is recommended. Two different models of artificial neural networks, the extended backpropagation and the radial basis function, are discussed and applied with appropriate simulations for a real world applications in a chemical manufacturing plant.< >

A new fuzzy reasoning is proposed so that the conclusion consists of a function of mean-values on each membership function in antecedent. It is then shown that the constant parameters in conclusion can be rationally designed from the view point of a control theory, if the conclusion is regarded as a sliding controller with the mean values in antecedent as state variables.

Many previous works have facilitated muscle cell (C2C12) alignment to form fiber-like cell structures. However, there still remains a challenge how to induce C2C12 myoblasts in the cell structures to differentiate into matured myocytes to form a functional muscle tissue, while external mechanical stimulation has been proved to have good effects on proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts. In this paper, we proposed a vision-based micro robotic manipulation system to achieve automatic mechanical stimulation for one single muscle fiber-like cell structures (MFCS). A tube, which is attached to a three degree-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator, and a probe are employed to apply the uniaxial mechanical stimulation to train the MFCS. To measure the force applied on MFCS, a vision-based measuring and correction method is utilized, which decrease the error by 74%. Moreover, based on the viscoelastic property of the MFCS, a feedback control algorithm has been applied to compensate for the force loss to realize the force stimulation. And the final value of force remains 699 ± 1μN after 110s experiment.
