In this paper, an intelligent controller is applied to control omni-directional robots motion. First, the dynamics of the three wheel robots, as a nonlinear plant with considerable uncertainties, is identified using an efficient algorithm of training, named LoLiMoT. Then, an intelligent controller based on brain emotional learning algorithm is applied to the identified model. This emotional l...

This paper presents a streetlight management system, based on wireless communication technologies, which will provide tangible solutions to improve energy efficiency by adapting to the changes in the contextual needs. The proposed solution is said to be intelligent since light dimming is fixed based on the analysis of the data provided by the deployed sensors.

In this paper we describe a new control laboratory course at The Ohio State University. Students execute a series of laboratory exercises, for a variety of processes, implementing fuzzy control, adaptive fuzzy control, and other intelligent control techniques, with a particular focus on fuzzy control. Fully instrumented independent testbeds in the laboratory emphasize several sensing and actuat...

Climate control for intelligent greenhouses is currently an active field of research. Model based intelligent greenhouse control systems seem to increase the control performance over traditional solutions. This paper focuses on one aspect of the modeling necessary for the intelligent control systems, namely predicting the external temperature, which is closely related to the actual weather cond...

The main objective for the research presented in this special issue is to advance theoretical basis in soft computing, for the purpose of improving applications. Why is this theoretical research needed? Because soft computing in general (and intelligent control and decision making in particular) are, in many aspects, still an art. To make this methodology easier to apply, we must use the experi...

This paper presents part of the work carried out within the framework of a research project entitled Application of variable speed and intelligent control technologies to hydropower generation. Specifically, it is focused on the activities performed in order to achieve one of the main objectives of the project: the design of a water level control system for a low-head run-of-river variable spee...
