چکیده

Artificial neural network architectures are systems which usually exhibit a unique/special behavior on the basis of a fixed structure expressed in terms of parameters computed by a training phase. In contrast with this approach, we present a robotic scenario in which an artificial neural network architecture, the Multiple Behavior Network (MBN), is proposed as a robotic controller in a simulated environment. MBN is composed of two Continuous-Time Recurrent Neural Networks (CTRNNs), and is organized in a hierarchial way: Interpreter Module (IM) and Program Module (PM). IM is a fixed-weight CTRNN designed in such a way to behave as an interpreter of the signals coming from PM , thus being able to switch among different behaviors in response to the PM output programs. We suggest how such an MBN architecture can be incrementally trained in order to show and even acquire new behaviors by letting PM learn new programs, and without modifying IM structure.

Implementation of a programmable neuron in CNTFET technology for low-power neural networks

Circuit-level implementation of a novel neuron has been discussed in this article. A low-power Activation Function (AF) circuit is introduced in this paper, which is then combined with a highly linear synapse circuit to form the neuron architecture. Designed in Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor (CNTFET) technology, the proposed structure consumes low power, which makes it suitable for the...

Estimation of Soil Infiltration in Agricultural and Pasture Lands using Artificial Neural Networks and Multiple Regressions

Common methods to determine the soil infiltration need extensive time and are expensive. However, the existence of non-linear behaviors in soil infiltration makes it difficult to be modeled. With regards to the difficulties of direct measurement of soil infiltration, the use of indirect methods toestimate this parameter has received attention in recent years. Despite the existence of various th...
