Adaptive neuro-fuzzy technique for autonomous ground vehicle navigation

This article proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for solving navigation problems of an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV). The system consists of four ANFIS controllers; two of which are used for regulating both the left and right angular velocities of the AGV in order to reach the target position; and other two ANFIS controllers are used for optimal heading adjustment in order to avoid obstacles. The two velocity controllers receive three sensor inputs: front distance (FD); right distance (RD) and left distance (LD) for the low-level motion control. Two heading controllers deploy the angle difference (AD) between the heading of AGV and the angle to the target to choose the optimal direction. The simulation experiments have been carried out under two different scenarios to investigate the feasibility of the proposed ANFIS technique. The simulation results have been presented using MATLAB software package; showing that ANFIS is capable of performing the navigation and path planning task safely and efficiently in a workspace populated with static obstacles

Design and Analysis of 7-DOF Human-Link Manipulator Based on Hybrid Intelligent Controller

A manipulator is an alternative to progress profitability in mechanical computerization. The robotic controller executes forms’ assembly operations in hazardous conditions. Since computerized controllers are highly vulnerable nonlinear powerful frameworks, it is hard to provide precise unique conditions at controlling laws’ configuration. Virtual Reality (VR) is a fundamental advance at use in modern biomedical, medical procedures and different fields where a 3D object helps to comprehend complex behavior. This work proposes the interaction with 3D models in VR environment achieved by accurate sensing from feedback, and then reconstructs the instruction according to practical limitation of a real human arm movement. In this work ANFIS played a key role in finding results with optimal values because the combination of Neural Networks (NN) benefits and obscure logic systems research examined the individual defects in both of them. Use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in dynamic systems has quite extensive and accurate results, when adding a training signal system to the mixed learning base implemented at combining the slope proportions technique, a Least Square Error (LSE) preparing the ANFIS organization for any framework to take care of the issue any way. This work presents a keen controller actualization with 7-DOF controller for a model designed with a VR situation that reproduces the system design by associating Matlab/Simulink to connect the VR model with some instruction to execute orders delivered by the hybrid intelligent controller based on ANFIS technique. Palatable outcomes are implemented in reproductions that improve the procedure as an essential utilization of this controller design

Navigational Path Analysis of Mobile Robot in Various Environments

This dissertation describes work in the area of an autonomous mobile robot. The objective is navigation of mobile robot in a real world dynamic environment avoiding structured and unstructured obstacles either they are static or dynamic. The shapes and position of obstacles are not known to robot prior to navigation. The mobile robot has sensory recognition of specific objects in the environments. This sensory-information provides local information of robots immediate surroundings to its controllers. The information is dealt intelligently by the robot to reach the global objective (the target). Navigational paths as well as time taken during navigation by the mobile robot can be expressed as an optimisation problem and thus can be analyzed and solved using AI techniques. The optimisation of path as well as time taken is based on the kinematic stability and the intelligence of the robot controller. A successful way of structuring the navigation task deals with the issues of individual behaviour design and action coordination of the behaviours. The navigation objective is addressed using fuzzy logic, neural network, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and different other AI technique.The research also addresses distributed autonomous systems using multiple robot
