Computational intelligence in robotics and automation

Robots have been used in many fields of industry. Robots are important for automation in the factory, laboratory and office, as well as in space. These robots must have the capability for intelligence such as adaptation, learning and evolution. Computational intelligence including neural networks, fuzzy systems and genetic algorithms have been discussed for realizing human intelligence. In order to realize human intelligence functions such as perception, inference, decision making and learning should be integrated. This paper deals with this kind of intelligent robot systems. The intelligence of a robotic system depends on the architecture of hardware and software as a whole system. This paper introduces a robotic system with structured intelligence.
