Abstract

We've been following research on the obstacle avoidance that is based on fuzzy control. We previously proposed a new method of automatically generating membership functions, which play an important role in improving accuracy of fuzzy control, by using genetic programming (GP). In this paper, we made two improvements to our proposed method, for the purpose of achieving better intelligence in fuzzy robots. First, the mutation rate is made to change dynamically, according to the coupled chaotic system. Secondly, the population partitioning using deme is introduced by parallel processing. The effectiveness of these improvements is demonstrated through several computer simulations.
