Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) nodes inherently feature limited transmission range. A recent solution to the long range problem is Collaborative Beamforming (CBF). The outcome of an ideal CBF process ought be a radiation pattern whose main beam oriented towards intended destination (WSN sink), increasing Owing random and complex nature WSNs, development use improved metaheuristic algorithms in e...

According to the character of the volume-lag of the controlled process of three-tank-system, Smith predictor was adopted to compensate three-tank-system fuzzy adaptive control system. Fuzzy adaptive Smith predictive control system is composed with Smith predictor and fuzzy adaptive controller. The PID parameters were setting on line. This algorithm uses fuzzy adaptive PID control to improve the...

in this paper, we consider portfolio selection problem in which security returns are regarded as fuzzy variables rather than random variables. we first introduce a concept of absolute deviation for fuzzy variables and prove some useful properties, which imply that absolute deviation may be used to measure risk well. then we propose two mean-absolute deviation models by defining risk as abs...

quad rotor is a renowned underactuated unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) with widespread military and civilian applications. despite its simple structure, the vehicle suffers from inherent instability. therefore, control designers always face formidable challenge in stabilization and control goal. in this paper fuzzy membership functions of the quad rotor’s fuzzy controllers are optimized using nat...

This paper presents a stable new algorithm for force/position control in robot manipulators. In this algorithm, position vectors are measured by sensors and then used in the control law. Since using force sensor has some issues such as high costs and technical problems, an approach is presented to overcome these issues. In this respect, force sensor is replaced by an adaptive fuzzy estimator to...

The camera stabilizer stabilizes the camera’s line of sight by isolating the camera from the model uncertainties, disturbances of operating environment and system movements. This paper presents a voltage-base optimal adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control for camera stabilizer. In this proposed control method, a voltage-base sliding mode controller is applied. But unfortunately, undesirable ...

In this paper an algorithm based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller is provided to enhance the tipover stability of mobile manipulators when they are subjected to predefined trajectories for the end-effector and the vehicle. The controller creates proper configurations for the manipulator to prevent the robot from being overturned. The optimal configuration and thus the most favorable contr...

Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid damper is a semiactive control device that has recently received more attention by the vibration control community. But inherent hysteretic and highly nonlinear dynamics of MR fluid damper is one of the challenging aspects to employ its unique characteristics. The combination of artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic system (FLS) have been used to imitate...

This paper addresses the structure and an associated learning algorithm of a feedforward multilayered connectionist network for realizing the basic elements and functions of a traditional fuzzy logic controller. The proposed fuzzy adaptive learning control network (FALCON) can be contrasted with the traditional fuzzy logic control systems in their network structure and learning ability. A struc...
