We need, increasingly, to design systems that can support complex behaviours in which users adapt dynamically to the progression of the task or to changing conditions during the interaction. Unfortunately, we lack procedures and methods to build systems for adaptive behaviour. This article proposes an approach that identifies dimensions on which users adapt their behaviour and then determines t...

This paper reports the authors' ongoing experience with a system for discovering novel fighter combat maneuvers, using a genetics-based machine learning process, and combat simulation. In effect, the genetic learning system in this application is taking the place of a test pilot, in discovering complex maneuvers from experience. The goal of this work is distinct from that of many other studies,...

Toward adaptive underwater locomotion, this paper presents the experimental results of a fish-like swimming robot that we have newly developed. By using motor control with only one degree of freedom, this robot exhibits surprisingly rich behavioral diversity in three dimensional underwater environment. This paper focuses on some of the behavior variations this robot exhibits, i.e. forward, turn...

Turbo-expanders are used in industries for cooling, liquefaction and also power generation. An important part of these turbines is the variable angle nozzle causing a nonlinear behavior that is not well recognized among the prime movers of the dispersed generators. In this paper, at first, the turbo expander system is evaluated in details and its nonlinear behavior is investigated. Then, the sy...
