Evolutionary Computation, a broad field that includes Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies, and Evolutionary Programming, has proven to offer well-suited techniques for industrial and management tasks - therefore receiving considerable attention fom scientists and engineers during the last decade. This monograph develops and analyzes evolutionary algorithms that can be successfully applied to...
Tasks important for a mobile robot are the environmental recognition and the obstacle avoidance in the real world. The legged robot can be adapted for rough terrains. It is because the legged robot has a high degree of freedom in order to avoid an obstacle to three dimensions. In this paper, we propose a locomotion strategy on the terrain with stiffness which is different in each. The propriety of...
Control approaches for nonholonomic systems have utilized canonical forms. A nonholonomic double integrator model is the one of canonical forms for nonholonomic systems. Outputs of the controller based on the nonholonomic double integrator model are velocity commands for the kinematic model of a nonholonomic system. In this paper, we consider an extended nonholonomic double integrator model, in which...
A new fuzzy reasoning, which is called mean-value-based functional reasoning, is proposed in which the conclusion consists of a function of mean-values on each membership function in the antecedent. From the view point of control theory, i.e. if the conclusion is regarded as a VSS controller, it is possible to rationally design the constant parameters included in the conclusion for the usual functional...
