A fuzzy version of default logic

Kumar S. Ray, Arpan Chakraborty

The importance of fuzzy logic (FL) in approximate reasoning, and that of default logic (DL) in reasoning with incomplete information, is well established. Also, the need for a…

Modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm for optimization of UAV flight controller

Huangzhong Pu, Ziyang Zhen, Daobo Wang

Attitude control of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is the purposeful manipulation of controllable external forces to establish a desired attitude, which is inner‐loop of the…

Automatic speaker tracking by camera using two‐channel‐based sound source localization

Halim Sayoud, Siham Ouamour, Salah Khennouf

The purpose of this paper is two‐fold. First, to deal with the problem of audio speaker localization and second, to deal with the problem of mobile camera control. The task of…

A novel auto‐adapted path‐planning method for a shape‐shifting robot

Tonglin Liu, Chengdong Wu, Bin Li, Shugen Ma, Jinguo Liu

The purpose of this paper is to describe a shape‐shifting robot with diverse configurations, named “AMOEBA‐I”, which has been developed for search and rescue operations. The…

Adaptive robust tracking control for mobile manipulators in the task‐space under uncertainties

Mohamad Boukattaya, Tarak Damak, Mohamed Jallouli

The purpose of this paper is to address the trajectory tracking control in task space of a non‐holonomic wheeled mobile manipulator with parameter uncertainties and disturbances…

Auto‐tuning PID controller design using a sliding‐mode approach for DC servomotors

Chun‐Fei Hsu, Chien‐Jung Chiu, Jang‐Zern Tsai

The proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) controller has been a practical application in industry due to its simple architecture, being easily designed and its parameter tuning…
