Whether the application is keeping a safe distance between vehicles on highways or allowing a pedestrian to safely cross a street, environmental sensing and control play a crucial role in IVHS applications. In this paper we present robust visual detection and tracking techniques for IVHS applications, where computer vision may be the only sensor used or a part of a larger multi-sensor system. We have selected the application of pedestrian detection and tracking to demonstrate that the controlled active vision framework can provide precisely the type of information required to effectively manage traffic situations.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"8 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123547311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We draw our inspiration from two main biological sources: first, the Darwinian model of evolution, embraced by the genetic algorithm (GA) and second, the proposed existence of internal clocks in organisms for learning of period and interval timing. Biological evidence for internal clocks and their use in living organisms are briefly summarised. We describe two versions, discrete and fuzzy, of a novel learning classifier system which incorporates internal clocks for the express purpose of learning temporal behaviour. Several possible application areas of the proposed classifier system can be envisaged. These include intelligent control, using the classifier system either for direct control or as a temporal model; artificial life in environments with temporal as well as spatial characteristics; and temporal pattern recognition.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130124502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this research is to develop neural network controllers for vibration suppression under the constraint of noncollocated control.

The neural controller is based on forward dynamics and decentralized control. This controller has been demonstrated to be effective in vibration suppression for two different systems.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126611296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In determining the orientation of the mobile robot, the algorithm first computes the primary steering angle for normal manuevering which is derived based on the fuzzy inference rule. To cope with the constrained environments such as corner and hallway, the algorithm then computes the secondary steering angle which is derived based on the fuzzy inference rule. The primary steering angle is used for the normal manuevering whereas the secondary steering angle compensates for the wiggling motion of the mobile robot that occurs frequently at the corner or at the hallway. The presented algorithm has been successfully tested on the simulation example.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116554571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conditions for stability of the learning process, which may be used for determination of the learning coefficient values, have been worked out. The way of improving the system response in the initial stage of learning by using the referent model-based method of presetting a fuzzy control surface is described. The proposed fuzzy control method has been tested in the angular speed control loop of a DCM servo drive. The results obtained have shown the feasibility and marked effectiveness of the self-organizing fuzzy control scheme indicating a better performance of the system with the preset fuzzy controller than with a blank fuzzy rule-table in the initial stage of learning.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116757235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It discusses a motion coordination method that explicitly generates motion options and evaluates them based on any number of performance criteria. The highest-ranking option becomes the next motion command for the robot's servo controllers. Finally, the paper presents a simulation of motion coordination for a hyper-redundant serial robot with 21 degrees of freedom.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131616005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
