This paper presents an optimal design method for fuzzy logic controllers using genetic algorithms. In general, the design of fuzzy logic controllers has difficulties in the acquisition of exper's knowledge and relies to a great extent on empirical and heuristic knowledge which, in many cases, cannot be objectively justified. So, the performance of the controller can be degraded in the case of plant parameter variations or unpredictable incident which the designer may have ignored, and parameters of the fuzzy logic controller obtained by expert's control action may not be global. To solve these problems, the proposed method using genetic algorithms in this paper, can tune the parameters of fuzzy logic controller including scaling factors and determine the appropriate number of fuzzy reles systematically and automatically. We provide the second drder dead time plant and inverted pendulum system to evaluate the feasibility and generality of our proposed method. Comparison shows that the proposed controller can producd higher accuracy and a smaller number of fuzzy rules than manually tuned fuzzy logic controller.

This paper presents the new design method of fuzzy control system for nonlinear system. Many conventional design methods for fuzzy controller find the control gain for stabilizing fuzzy controller with some mathematical approaches. However, there exist some controllers which are hard to design with mathematical approach. In order to solve these problems, we propose the intelligent design method for fuzzy controller by using genetic algorithm with evolution strategy. The genetic algorithm with evolution strategy finds the control gain by changing the evolution region of chromosome. Finally, an application example of stabilizing a cart-pole typed inverted pendulum system will be given to show the stabilizability of the fuzzy controller.

Genetic algorithm is used as a means of search, optimization md machine learning, its structure is simple but it is applied to various areas. And it is about an active and effective controller which can flexibly prepare for changeable circumstances. For this study, research about an action base system evolving by itself is also being considered. There is to have a problem that depended entirely on heuristic knowledge of expert forming membership function and control rule for fuzzy controller design. In this paper, for forming the fuzzy control to perform self-organization, we tuned the membership function to the most optimal using a genetic algorithm(GA) and improved the control efficiency by the self-correction and generation of control rules.

Existing Bayesian update method using ultrasonic sensors only for mobile robot map building has a problem of the quality of map being degraded in the wall with irregularity, which is caused by the wide beam distribution. For improving this problem, an infrared sensors aided map building method is presented in this paper. Information of obstacle at each region in ultrasonic sensor beam is acquired using the infrared sensors and the information is used to get the confidence of ultrasonic sensor information via fuzzy inference system and genetic algorithm. Combining the resulting confidence with the result of Bayesian update method, an improve map is constructed. The proposed method showed good results in the simulations and experiments.

Localization is one of the fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that forms the basis for many location-aware applications. Localization in WSNs is to determine the position of node based on the known positions of several nodes. Most of previous localization method use triangulation or multilateration based on the angle of arrival (AOA) or distance measurements. In this paper, we propose an enhanced centroid localization method based on edge weights of adjacent nodes using fuzzy modeling and genetic algorithm when node connectivities are known. The simulation results shows that our proposed centroid method is more accurate than the simple centroid method using connectivity only.

A lot of researches on the redundant manipulators have been focused mainly on the minimization of joint torques. However, it is well-known that the most dynamic control algorithms using local joint torque minimization cause huge torques which can not be implemented by practical motor drivers. A new control algorithm which reduces considerably such a huge-required-torque problem is proposed in this paper. It adapts fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm to the conventional local joint torque minimization algorithm. The proposed algorithm is applied to a 3-DOF redundant planar robot. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm works well.

This paper deals with the controller for a stable walking of a humanoid robot using genetic algorithm. A humanoid robot has instability during walking because it isn't fixed on the ground, and its nonlinearities of the joints increase its instability. If controller isn't robust, the robot may fall down at the ground during walking because of its nonlinearities. To solve this problem, robust controller is required to reduce the effect of nonlinearities and to gain the good tracking performance. In this paper, motion controller that is based on fuzzy-sliding mode controller is proposed. This controller can remove the effect of the saturation by limitation of the input voltage. It also includes compensator for reducing the effect of the nonlinearity by backlash and PI controller improving the tracking performance. In here, genetic algorithm is used for searching the optimal gains of the controller. From the given controller, a humanoid robot can moved more preciously. All the processes are investigated through simulations and are verified experimentally in a real joint system for a humanoid robot.

Fuzzy cognitive map(FCM) has long been used as an effective way of constructing the human's decision making process explicitly. By taking advantage of this feature, FCM has been extensively used in providing what-if solutions to a wide variety of business decision making problems. In contrast, the goal-seeking analysis mechanism by using the FCM is rarely observed in literature, which remains a research void in the fields of FCM. In this sense, this study proposes a new type of the FCM-based goal-seeking analysis which is based on utilizing the genetic algorithm. Its main recipe lies in the fact that the what-if analysis as well as goal-seeking analysis are enabled very effectively by incorporating the genetic algorithm into the FCM-driven inference process. To prove the empirical validity of the proposed approach, valid questionnaires were gathered from a number of experts on software sales, and analyzed statistically. Results showed that the proposed approach is robust and significant.

In this study, an optimization method using multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA) has been proposed to develop a fuzzy control algorithm that can effectively control a smart tuned mass damper(TMD). A 76-story benchmark building subjected to wind load was selected as an example structure. The smart TMD consists of 100kN MR damper and the natural period of the smart TMD was tuned to the first mode natural period of the example structure. Damping force of MR damper is controlled to reduce the wind-induced responses of the example structure by a fuzzy logic controller. Two input variables of the fuzzy logic controller are the acceleration of 75th floor and the displacement of the smart TMD and the output variable is the command voltage sent to MR damper. Multi-objective genetic algorithm(NSGA-II) was used for optimization of the fuzzy logic controller and the acceleration of 75th story and the displacement of the smart TMD were used as objective function. After optimization, a series of fuzzy logic controllers which could appropriately reduce both wind responses of the building and smart TMD were obtained. Based on numerical results, it has been shown that the control performance of the smart TMD is much better than that of the passive TMD and it is even better than that of the sample active TMD in some cases.
