Evolving Nonlinear Controllers for Backing up a Truck-and-Trailer Using Evolutionary Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper develops control laws for backing up a simulated truck-and-trailer to a loading dock in a parking lot. Evolutionary programming (EP) with a set of mutation operators is used to automatically generate optimal control laws. EP produces an optimal nonlinear control strategy that takes the state variables as inputs and determines the direction and angle by which the truck’s front wheels must be steered. Results indicate that the control laws generated successfully back up the truck-and-trailer system in an optimal manner and are capable of generalizing well over previously unseen input states.

متن کاملBacking-up Fuzzy Control of a Truck-trailer Equipped with a Kingpin Sliding Mechanism
For articulated vehicles met in robotics and transportation fields, even for an experienced operator, backing-up leads usually to jack-knifing. This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller for back-driving a truck-trailer vehicle into a predefined parking task. The truck-trailer link system is equipped with a kingpin sliding mechanism acting as an anti-jackknife excitation input. By applying fu...
متن کاملNeurointerfaces : Applications
A Neurointerface is a nonlinear filtering system based on Neural Networks that serves as a coupler between a human operator and a nonlinear system or plant that is to be controlled or directed. The purpose of the coupler is to ease the task of the human controller. A Neurointerface and a plant disturbance canceller have been applied to the steering system of a truck and trailer(s). The Neuroint...

متن کاملAdaptive fuzzy systems for backing up a truck-and-trailer
Fuzzy control systems and neural-network control systems for backing up a simulated truck, and truck-and-trailer, to a loading dock in a parking lot are presented. The supervised backpropagation learning algorithm trained the neural network systems. The robustness of the neural systems was tested by removing random subsets of training data in learning sequences. The neural systems performed wel...
