Behaviors of the antibodies as basic agents of the immune system are considered and their collaboration structure is studied to form a relevant algorithm for multi-agent control problems. In immune system the optimization problem is addressed by considering two functions: fitness and affinity. Fitness, which is the goal function for optimization, is exterior for the agents group, and affinity function is the internal factor among agents. Therefore the cost function is divided to the two independent parts. The second part is distributed among agents as affinity function. We compared our proposed method with the regular genetic algorithm and show some simulation results on multirobots federation formation.","PeriodicalId":367430,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC '01) (Cat.

We consider two or more agents, or vehicles, moving in a geographic environment, searching for targets of interest and avoiding obstacles or threats. The moving agents are equipped with sensors to view a limited region of the environment they are visiting, and are able to communicate with one another to enable cooperation. The agents are assumed to have some \"physical\" limitations including possibly maneuverability limitations, fuel/time constraints and sensor range and accuracy. The developed cooperative search framework is based on two inter-dependent tasks: (1) online learning of the environment and storing of the information in the form of a \"search map\"; and (2) utilization of the search map and other information to compute online a guidance trajectory for the agent to follow. The distributed learning and planning approach for cooperative search is illustrated by computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":367430,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC '01) (Cat.

Thus, the ANN is used as a climate forecast for a main (knowledge based) system, devoted to the supervision and control of the greenhouse. An architecture for the referred digital ANN, which can be parametrised and is programmable by the designer, is given, as well as the methodology for its design and programming, in order to obtain different ANN topologies.

Inflation and deflation are the two possible modes of operation of this actuator. Three fuzzy sets, one for each of both modes and one for the transition region, are considered. Each fuzzy set is associated with a local backstepping controller. At the inflation and deflation regimes, the associated controllers are exact backstepping controllers, whereas a robust nonlinear backstepping controller is used at the transition regime and deals with regime uncertainty. The use of fuzzy membership functions provides a smooth controller. The closed-loop system is globally and ultimately bounded.","PeriodicalId":367430,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC '01) (Cat.

We assume that the switching sequence has a finite length and is pre-assigned, while the unknown switching times are the optimization parameters. We also assume that at each switch a jump in the state space may occur and that a cost may be associated to each switch. The optimal control for this class of systems takes the form of a state feedback, i.e., it is possible to identify a region of the state space such that an optimal switch should occur if and only if the present state belongs to this region. We show how such a region can be computed with a numerical procedure and show that, in the particular case in which the switching costs is null, the region is homogeneous.","PeriodicalId":367430,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC '01) (Cat.

If many agent-based system approaches exhibit reasoning functionalities, the complexity of air missions prevents from using the underlying generic models onto realistic missions. By taking advantage of constraint programming techniques, this paper demonstrates how a dedicated planning method can manage unmanned air vehicles into a realistic mission.","PeriodicalId":367430,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC '01) (Cat.

This VSPID has a structure similar to that of a simple PID controller where the PD mode is used to speed up response, whereas the PI mode is applied to eliminate the steady state offset. Flexible changes of the controller modes and parameter values of the VSPID could therefore solve the conflict in nature between steady state accuracy and dynamic responsiveness. Due to the difficulties encountered in the application of traditional analytical and numerical methods for the design of variable structure systems, micro-genetic algorithm (uGA) is used for the determination of the different controller parameters. uGA is known to converge rapidly with optimal or near optimal results. In order to demonstrate the design procedure, the compliant motion control of a robot arm is used. Taking the integral of the absolute error as the performance measure it reveals that the proposed VSPID is better than the simple PID controller.","PeriodicalId":367430,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC '01) (Cat.
