It is well-known that emotions have a strong influence on a person’s cognitive abilities, a fact which can be used by a tutor to improve a student’s learning capacities. Conditions are that the tutor knows the current emotional state of the learner as well as the emotional impact of certain actions taken and, finally, how the student’s learning capacities depend on his emotions. In this article...

The two-coupled distillation column process is a physically complicated system in many aspects. Specifically, the nested interrelationship between system inputs and outputs constitutes one of the significant challenges in system control design. Mostly, such a process is to be decoupled into several input/output pairings (loops), so that a single controller can be assigned for each loop. In the ...

We develop autonomous agents fighting with each other, inspired by human wrestling. For this purpose, we propose a coupled inverted pendula (CIP) framework in which: 1) tips of two inverted pendulums are linked by a connection rod, 2) each pendulum is primarily stabilized by a PD-controller, 3) and is additionally equipped with an intelligent controller. Based on this framework, we dynamically ...

In this paper, we apply a modified version of Brain Emotional Learning (BEL) controller for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) control system whose multivariable, nonlinear and non-minimum phase nature makes the task difficult. The proposed biologically-motivated algorithm achieves robust and satisfactory performance even though there are more than one control inputs to the plant,...

A brain computer interface (BCI) enables direct communication between a brain and a computer translating brain activity into computer commands using preprocessing, feature extraction and classification operations. Classification is crucial as it has a substantial effect on the BCI speed and bit rate. Recent developments of brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) bring forward some challenging problems...

Different research studies have proved that emotions meet a pivotal role in cognitive processes and in particular the studies made by Damasio who argues that human-beings without emotions could not make the simplest decision (Damasio 1994). We think that the fail of Intelligent Distance Learning Systems to achieve an efficient learning is mainly resulting from the lacking of Emotional Intellige...

In this paper, a multi agent controller for meeting different criteria, based on neuro-fuzzy controller is presented. The proposed controller is motivated by the affective and emotional faculties in human begins, which constantly evaluate the current states with respect to the achievement of the desired goals. For meeting different criteria, the controller consists of several critic agents that...

this paper presents a new strategy based on multi-stage fuzzy (msf) pid controller based on artificial bee colony (abc) for damping power system stabilizer (pss) in multi-machine environment. the recent studies in artificial intelligence demonstrated that the abc optimization is strong intelligent method in complicated stability problems. also, finding the parameters of pid controller in power ...
