In the algorithms we use a fuzzy logic controller, evaluating each individual as a parent for the next population. The fuzzy logic controller evaluates all individuals using fitness functions for earlier populations, which help's to keep the knowledge collected in the prior populations. The controller modifies the probability of selection to parents' pool, or probability of mutation, so in the fuzzy controlled genetic algorithms, a number of better quality individuals are larger then in the elementary genetic algorithms. We use the traveling salesman problem (TSP) as illustrations.","PeriodicalId":176081,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control (IEEE Cat.

The proprieties of the introduced model are discussed in detail. It was shown that the off line identification of the model parameters can easily be performed using standard parameter identification techniques and the proposed model predicts the limit cycle phenomena that occurs due to friction phenomena at low velocities. The model is linear in parameters so it can easily be applied in adaptive friction compensation algorithms for positioning systems and robotic manipulators.

The kind of used artificial potential depends on particular objective: avoiding collisions between robots and keeping them in the ordered formation, executing task by the formation (e.g. moving formation into desired position), building formation and avoiding collisions with obstacles. In this paper we expand existing framework proposing attraction area potential function, which allows building formation and repulsion potential function, which allows avoiding collisions with obstacles. Main advantage of presented approach is that it is easy scalable because control is based on general rule that determines behaviour of all robots.
