In this paper, with a new look at emotional controller and modifying its structure; a novel approach to hierarchical control of large-scale systems is introduced. Design of controller is founded on emotional learning and the control system consists of neuro-fuzzy controller, whose weights are updated according to emotional signals. This signal is produced in a block called critic, whose job is ...

Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller Neural Networks (CMAC NN) is one of the intelligent systems used for modeling, identification, classification, and controlling of nonlinear systems. In this paper, the mathematical model of CMAC is presented. CMAC is implemented using Simulink environment and its parameters are tuned to get the best CMAC control action. Three different learning algorithm...

In this paper a novel Laguerre based controller is proposed to control the velocity of an electro hydraulic servo system (EHSS). The proposed Laguerre based controller is a kind of IIR structure which has the benefits of both FIR and IIR structures and can solve their limitations in stability and compelexity. The controller can control the velocity of EHSS appropriately and consumes small compu...

In this paper, we suggest an intelligent controller for an automated vehicle to plan its own trajectory based on sensor and communication data received. Our intelligent controller is based on an artificial intelligence technique called learning stochastic automata. The automaton can learn the best possible action to avoid collisions using the data received +om on-board sensors. The system has t...

The idea of machines having emotions sounds like science fiction, however, few decades ago the idea of machines with intelligence seemed also like fiction, but today we are developing intelligent machines with successful applications. We have always overlooked the emotional factors during machine learning and decision making; however, it is quite conceivable to artificially model certain emotio...

This paper is concerned with the application of hybrid intelligent control techniques for improving the performance of ship steering. Hybrid intelligent controllers can make full use of the advantages of a variety of intelligent algorithms. In this paper, optimization with genetic algorithms is used in off-line learning periods and reinforcement learning and neural fuzzy control are integrated ...

Despite decades of societal investment in artificial learning systems, truly "intelligent" systems have yet to be realized. These traditional models are based on input-output pattern optimization and/or cognitive production rule modeling. One response has been social robotics, using the interaction of human and robot to capture important cognitive dynamics such as cooperation and emotion; to da...

An intelligent control method is proposed for control of rigid robot manipulators which achieves exponential tracking of repetitive robot trajectory under uncertain operating conditions such as parameter uncertainty and unknown deterministic disturbance. In the learning controller, exponentially stable learning algorithms are combined with stabilizing computed error feedforward and feedback inp...

To ensure learning, game-based learning environments must incorporate assessment mechanisms, e.g. Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). ITSs are focused on recognising and influencing the learner’s emotional or motivational states. This research focuses on designing and implementing an affective student model for intelligent gaming, which reasons about the learner’s emotional state from cognitiv...
