The paper introduces a new selection algorithm that can be used for evolutionary path planning systems. This new selection algorithm combines fuzzy inference along with tournament selection to select candidate paths (CPs) to be parents based on: (1) the Euclidean distance from origin to destination, (2) the sum of the changes in the slope of a path, and (3) the average change in the slope of a path. The authors provide a detailed description of the fuzzy inference system used in the new fuzzy tournament selection algorithm (FTSA) as well as some examples of its usefulness. They use 12 instances of the FTSA to rank a population of CPs using the above criteria. Based on its path ranking capability, they show how the FTSA can obviate the need for the development of an explicit multiobjective evaluation function. Finally, they use the FTSA to enhance the performance of an existing evolutionary path planning system called GEPOA.

The authors show a relationship between artificial potential field (APF) based motion planning/navigation and constrained optimization. They then present a simple genetic hill-climbing algorithm (SGHC) which is used to navigate a point robot through an environment using the APF approach. The motivation for the research is a robot that they are currently developing, named AGIE-3 (autonomous Guided Intelligent Equipment 3), which senses and navigates through the use of a stereo vision head. They compare the SGHC with steepest descent hill-climbing (SDHC), using two environments. The first environment is composed of stationary obstacles while the second environment is composed of non-stationary obstacles. In SDHC, candidate moves are evaluated within a 360 degree radius and the best candidate is selected by the robot. One would think that the SGHC would be at a disadvantage; however, the performance of the SGHC is comparable with SDHC even though it does not search 360 degrees for candidate moves. The SGHC has an advantage in that it is capable of evolving the appropriate step size as well as the appropriate angle of movement.

Tematic hybrid which combines the concept of evolutionary hill-climbing search with the systematic search concept of arc revision to form a hybrid that quickly find solutions to Fuzzy Constraint Satisfaction Problems (FCSPs). The performance of this hybrid on 250 randomly generated FCSPs in which th e fuzzy co n stra in ts are evenly d is trib u ted amongst th e variables of th e FCSP is compared with its p e rformance on 250 randomly generated FCSPs where the fuzzy constraints are unevenly dis trib u ted .

A technique of identifying the dynamics of a robotics system using neural network is presented. The identified model is used by a fuzzy controller to evaluate the range of the control variables and also the performance of the adaptive control laws on the identified model. An overview of the neuro-fuzzy control architecture is also discussed. This architecture uses two neural networks, one which identifies the system dynamics and another classifies the temporal response of the robotic system. The information from the neural networks is used to make suitable adjustments in the parameter of the fuzzy controller. This paper however concentrates on the theory and operation of identifying the dynamics of a Adept-Two industrial robot. Simulation results are presented.

A neuro-fuzzy controller is presented which uses neural networks to modify the parameters of an adaptive fuzzy logic controller. The adaptiveness of the fuzzy controller is derived from a rule generation mechanism and changing the scaling factor or the shape of the membership functions. The neural network functions as a classifier of the system's temporal responses. A multilayer perceptron is used to classify the temporal response of the system into different patterns. Depending on the type of pattern such as "response with overshoot", "damped response", "oscillating response", etc. the scaling factor of the input and output membership functions are adjusted to make the system respond in a desired manner. The rule generation mechanism also utilizes the temporal response of the system to evaluate new fuzzy rules. The non-redundant rules are appended to the existing rule base during the tuning cycles. This controller architecture is used in real-time to control a direct drive motor. The control system hardware utilizes a digital signal processor and a PC to implement the controller architecture. Experimental results are illustrated.

In this paper, some recent results on systematic design of model based fuzzy controllers for nonlinear systems with Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models are discussed. These methods are based on finding a common Lyapunov matrix and state feedback gains for the closed loop T-S fuzzy model using linear matrix inequalities. However, all of these methods assume that the states are available for measurement, while in reality this is not the case. To solve this problem, the notion of fuzzy observer is introduced and a separation theorem for the observer/controller system is stated and proof sketch is presented.
