We have started to develop a set of teaching tools to support our courses on intelligent control. Low cost implementations of didactic systems are particularly important in developing countries. In this paper we present the implementation of a minimal PD fuzzy four-rule algorithm in a lowcost 8-bit microcontroller, using a fuzzy logic software development system. On this ground we constructed a stand-alone fuzzy controller for a didactic liquid level system. We describe the methodology we followed, and present simulation and real time results of this controller.

A recurrent high order neural network (RHONN) structure is used to identify the plant model and based on this model, a discretetime control law is derived, which combines discrete-time block control and sliding modes techniques. The neural network learning is performed online by Kalman filtering. A controller is designed for each joint, using only local angular position and velocity measurements. These simple local joint controllers allow trajectory tracking with reduced computations. The proposed scheme is implemented in real-time to control a two DOF robot manipulator.

The observer is based on a recurrent high order neural network (RHONN), which is trained on-line with an extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based algorithm. The respective stability analysis based on the Lyapunov approach is included. The neural observer is tested by application to an immunological interaction model for HIV. The observer estimates the non-measured number of infected CD4+T cells in the blood torrent, the measured number of non-infected CD4+T cells and the measured concentration of viral load. The observer performance is illustrated via simulations.

Los pesos de la red recurrente se determinan como la soluciónóptima de la combinación lineal de vectores soporte. El algoritmo de entrenamiento propuesto maximiza el margen entre los patrones de entrenamiento y la super cie de decisión. El problema de diseño considera: 1) la obtención de los pesos por medio del algoritmo de hiperplanoóptimo utilizado para máquinas de vector soporte y 2) la obtención de las condiciones para reducir el número total de memorias espurias. El nuevo algoritmo desarrollado se utiliza para diseñar una memoria asociativa que diagnostique fallas en centrales termoeléctricas.

The observer is based on a discretetime high order neural network (RHONN) trained on-line with an extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based algorithm. This observer is then associated with a hybrid intelligent system to control the substrate/biomass concentration ratio. The neural observer performance is illustrated via simulations.

The obtained solution essentially relies on the recently developed optimal filtering theory for Itô-Volterra systems.

El reactor utiliza un volumen de reacción de 5 L y es operado en modo continuo con un flujo de entrada de 0.5 L h-1. Utilizando análisis de polos y ceros, respuesta al escalón y retratos de fase, se estudian dos comportamientos hidrodinámicos de las poblaciones bacterianas: razón de dilución y filtro de biomasa; este análisis es realizado vía simulación. El objetivo principal es determinar el efecto de la inmovilización de bacterias en soportes sólidos, así como de variaciones de las condiciones de operación, sobre las propiedades del proceso: estabilidad, degradación de sustratos, producción de biogás y límites de las condiciones de operación. Con los resultados obtenidos se pretende establecer estrategias de control que permitan mejorar el desempeño de este tipo de procesos.

This neural observer is robust in presence of external and internal uncertainties. The proposed scheme is based on a discrete-time recurrent high order neural network (RHONN) trained with an extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based algorithm, using a parallel configuration. This work includes the stability proof of the estimation error on the basis of the Lyapunov approach; to illustrate the applicability, simulation results for a nonlinear oscillator are included.

The main objective is to estimate variables of methanogenesis: biomass, substrate and inorganic carbon in a completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The recurrent high order neural network (RHONN) structure is based on the hyperbolic tangent as activation function. The learning algorithm is based on an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The applicability of the proposed scheme is illustrated via simulation. A validation using real data from a lab scale process is included. Thus, this observer can be successfully implemented for control purposes.

The scheme is developed for MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) ane systems. This approach is adapted for glycemic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients. The control law calculates the insulin delivery rate in order to prevent hyperglycemia levels. A neural model is obtained from an on-line neural identifier, which uses a recurrent neural network, trained with the extended Kalman filter (EKF); this neural model has an ane form, which permits the applicability of inverse optimal control scheme. The proposed algorithm is tuned to follow a desired trajectory; this trajectory reproduces the glucose absorption of a healthy person. Simulation results illustrate the aplicability of the control law in biological processes.

The two main methodologies, on which the approach is based, are recurrent neural networks and inverse optimal control for nonlinear systems. On the basis of the last technique, chaos is first produced by a stable recurrent neural network; an adaptive recurrent neural controller is then developed for chaos synchronization.

The original H ∞ filtering problem for a linear stochastic system is reduced to the corresponding mean-square H 2 filtering problem, using the technique proposed in [1]. In the example, the designed filter is applied to estimation of the pitch and yaw angles of a two degrees of freedom (2DOF) helicopter.

Real-life image data are always imprecise due to inherent uncertainties that may arise from the imaging process such as defocusing, illumination changes, noise, etc. Therefore, the localization and detection of corners has become a difficult task to accomplish under such imperfect situations. On the other hand, Fuzzy systems are well known for their efficient handling of impreciseness and incompleteness, which make them inherently suitable for modelling corner properties by means of a rule-based fuzzy system. The paper presents a corner detection algorithm which employs such fuzzy reasoning. The robustness of the proposed algorithm is compared to well-known conventional corner detectors and its performance is also tested over a number of benchmark images to illustrate the efficiency of the algorithm under uncertainty.

Many algorithms do not tolerate variations in color hue which correspond, in fact, to the same object. In this work an image segmentator algorithm based on Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) networks is proposed and tested on a tracking application. In LVQ networks, neighboring neurons learn to recognize neighboring sections of the input space. Neighboring neurons would correspond to object regions illuminated in a different manner. The segmentator involves a LVQ network that operate directly on the image pixels and a decision function. This algorithm has been applied to spotting and tracking human faces, and have shown more robustness on illumination changes than other standard algorithms.

By means of a Lyapunov-like analysis we determine stability conditions for the identification error. Then we analyze the trajectory tracking error by a local optimal controller. An algebraic Riccati equation and a differential one are used for the identification and the tracking error analysis. As our main original contributions, we establish two theorems: the first one gives a bound for the identification error and the second one establishes a bound for the tracking error. We illustrate the effectiveness of these results by two examples: the second-order relay system with multiple isolated equilibrium points and the chaotic system given by Duffing equation.

The Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory for functional differential equations and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach are employed to investigate the problem. It shows how some well-known results can be refined and generalized in a straightforward manner. For the case of constant time delays, the stability criteria are delay-independent; for the case of time-varying delays, the stability criteria are delay-dependent. The results obtained in this paper are less conservative than the ones reported so far in the literature and provides one more set of criteria for determining the stability of delayed neural networks.
