This paper addresses the issue of obstacle avoidance of a robot manipulator fixed in a predefined environment. This is achieved by using a selfmotion technique related to the robot arms. It is obtained by projecting the gradient of a scalar function (representing the criterion) on the null space of the Jacobean matrix related to the robot. Two important analytical methods are generally used: Gr...

This paper presents an original variable gain PI (VGPI) controller for speed control of a direct torque neuro fuzzy controlled (DTNFC) induction motor drive. First, a VGPI speed controller is designed to replace the classical PI controller in a conventional direct torque controlled induction motor drive. Its simulated performances are then compared to those of a classical PI controller. Then, a...

Primljeno (Received): 2011-10-10 Prihvaćeno (Accepted): 2012-01-22 Original scientific paper The aim of this paper is to present a tool condition monitoring (TCM) system that can detect tool breakage in real time using a combination of a neural decision system, an ANFIS tool wear estimator and a machining error compensation module. The principal presumption was that the force signals contain th...

This paper presents a three-phase hybrid power filter based on artificial intelligence control approach. It consists of C-type passive filter in parallel with a shunt active filter that is controlled by an adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller. The active filter is based on a three-phase voltage inverter with six control switches. The AC side of the filter is connected in par...

28 Facing fierce competition in marketplaces, companies try to determine the optimal settings of design 29 attribute of new products from which the best customer satisfaction can be obtained. To determine 30 the settings, customer satisfaction models relating affective responses of customers to design attributes 31 have to be first developed. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) was a...

Peak ground acceleration (PGA) plays an important role in assessing effects of earthquakes on the built environment, persons, and the natural environment. It is a basic parameter of seismic wave motion based on which earthquake resistant building design and construction are made. The level of damage is, among other factors, directly proportional to the severity of the ground acceleration, and i...

This paper presents an approach for modeling and prediction of both surface roughness and cutting zone temperature in turning of AISI304 austenitic stainless steel using multi-layer coated (TiCN+TiC+TiCN+TiN) tungsten carbide tools. The proposed approach is based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with particle swarm optimization (PSO) learning. AISI304 stainless steel bars are...

This paper analyses the operation of an adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for solar photovoltaic (SPV) energy generation system. The MPPT works on the principle of adjusting the voltage of the SPV modules by changing the duty ratio of the Quasi-zsource inverter. The duty ratio of the inverter is calculated for a given solar irradiance and tem...

This paper presents sensorless rotor position estimation of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) where the position is to be determined by Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The rotor position sensing is very essential for the SRM for its efficient operation. Previously rotor position sensors are used to estimate the position of rotor for SRM. Due to its drawback the sensors have to be r...
