Elaboration of didactic manual using Matlab, to strengthen the teaching-learning process in a section of the course Intelligent Control Systems

Abstract

This article shows the procedure of elaboration of a didactic manual using Matlab software, for a section of the elective course Intelligent Control Systems of the ninth academic semester in the program of Electronic Engineering and Mechatronics, at the Ricardo Palma University. Therefore, based on the content of the study program, examples and exercises with simulations were developed for each section of the proposed manual. Such sections are: Perceptron, Linear, Multilayer, Self-organized, Recurrent and Radial Base Function. In addition, vectors and matrices operations were introduced to understand the processing of the neural network, and the representation of the activation functions for the process of inhibition and excitation. Likewise, the examples and exercises followed a similar scheme; first the choice of the characteristics of the neural network used, followed by the training process, and ending with the test and verification. Likewise, the applications were oriented to pattern recognition, modeling and prediction.
