Reliable prediction of sales can improve the quality of business strategy. In this research, fuzzy logic and artificial neural network are integrated into the fuzzy back-propagation network (FBPN) for sales forecasting in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) industry. The fuzzy back propagation network is constructed to incorporate production-control expert judgments in enhancing the model’s performance...

In its first part, this contribution reviews shortly the application of neural network methods to medical problems and characterizes its advantages and problems in the context of the medical background. Various research shows that diagnostic capabilities of human are worse than the neural network strategy to diagnose any pattern. Then paradigm of neural networks is introduced and the main probl...

Neural network has good nonlinear function approximation ability. It can be widely used to identify the model of controlled plant. In this chapter, the theories of modeling uncertain plant by using two kinds of neural networks: feed-forward neural network and recurrent neural network are introduced. And two adaptive control strategies for robotic tracking control are developed. One is recurrent...

Nowadays, estimating the ampere consumption and achieve to the optimum condition from the perspective of energy consumption is one of the most important steps to reduce the production costs. In this research it is tried to develop an accurate model for estimating the ampere consumption by using the artificial neural networks (ANN).In the first step, experimental studies were carried out on 7 ca...

in this paper, the temperature distribution in workpiece and microstructure of welded zone in friction stir welding of aluminum 1100 alloys and the effect of the tool rotational speed on these parameters have investigated experimentally. also feed forward back propagation neural network has been used to predict the temperature of the workpiece during the welding process by considering the proce...

During the recent decades, neural network models have been focused upon by researchers due to their more real performance and on this basis, different types of these models have been used in forecasting. Now, there is a question that which kind of these models has more explanatory power in forecasting the future processes of the stock. In line with this, the present paper made a comparison betw...

An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was developed using the subtractive clustering technique to study the air demand in low-level outlet works. The ANFIS model was employed to calculate vent air discharge in different gate openings for an embankment dam. A hybrid learning algorithm obtained from combining back-propagation and least square estimate was adopted to identify linear and...

Navigation of multiple mobile robots using neuro-fuzzy controller has been discussed in this paper. In neuro-fuzzy controller the output from the neural network is fed as an input to fuzzy controller and the final outputs from the fuzzy controller are used for motion control of robots. The inputs to the neural network are obtained from the robot sensors (such as left, front, right obstacle dist...
