Reply to Dario Floreano's "Engineering Adaptive Behavior"

Dario Floreano’s review of Robot Shaping: An Experiment in Behavior Engineering is very stimulating, and would deserve a long answer. However, we do not want to abuse our right to the last word which the editor of this special issue accorded to us. Therefore, we shall limit our reply to a few points: (i) the relatively high learning time required by our system, (ii) the urge for more sophistica...

Turbo Expander System Behavior Improvement Using an Adaptive Fuzzy PID Controller

Turbo-expanders are used in industries for cooling, liquefaction and also power generation. An important part of these turbines is the variable angle nozzle causing a nonlinear behavior that is not well recognized among the prime movers of the dispersed generators. In this paper, at first, the turbo expander system is evaluated in details and its nonlinear behavior is investigated. Then, the sy...
