in this paper a novel direct adaptive fuzzy system is proposed to control flexible-joints robot including actuator dynamics. the design includes two interior loops: the inner loop controls the motor position using proposed approach while the outer loop controls the joint angle of the robot using a pid control law. one novelty of this paper is the use of a pso algorithm for optimizing the contro...

in this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses ferguson splines and pso (particle swarm optimization). the objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...

regarding the large number of developed particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithms and the various applications for which pso has been used, selecting the most suitable variant of pso for solving a particular optimization problem is a challenge for most researchers. in this paper, using a comprehensive survey and taxonomy on different types of pso, an expert system (es) is designed to identif...

this paper presents a new nonlinear mathematical model to solve a cell formation problem which assumes that processing time and inter-arrival time of parts are random variables. in this research, cells are defined as a queue system which will be optimized via queuing theory. in this queue system, each machine is assumed as a server and each part as a customer. the grouping of machines and parts...

reliability investigation has always been one of the most important issues in power systems planning. the outages rate in power system reflects the fact that more attentions should be paid on reliability indices to supply consumers with uninterrupted power. using reliability indices in economic dispatch problem may lead to the system load demand with high reliability and low probability of powe...

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a NP-hard and Combinatorial optimization problem. Combinatorial optimization problem can be viewed as searching for best element in a set of discrete items, which can be solved using search algorithm or meta heuristic. In this work, VRP is solved using population based search algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with crossover and mutation operators....

Due to access of malicious data in internet, Intrusion detection system becomes an important element in system security that controls real time data and leads to huge dimensional problem, so a data pre-processing is necessary to reduce haziness and to clean network data. To reduce false positive rate and to increase efficiency of detection, the paper proposed a new swarm intelligence technique ...

Using Particle Swarm Optimization to handle complex functions with high-dimension it has the problems of low convergence speed and sensitivity to local convergence. The convergence of particle swarm algorithm is studied, and the condition for the convergence of particle swarm algorithm is given. Results of numerical tests show the efficiency of the results. Base on the idea of specialization an...
