A path planning method of mobile robot using both fuzzy logic and driver’s driving experience is proposed. Double layers fuzzy logic is used to control both the speed and the turning angle of the mobile robot. A method of “virtual target” is introduced to deal with the problem of local minimal, which often occurs in local path planning. The results of simulation and experiment show its effectiv...

The paper is focusing on Human Machine-Interface implementation in designing crane control based on fuzzy logic algorithm. The Human Machine-Interface application was created for visualization, monitoring and managing the transportation process realized by the crane. Control systems based on fuzzy controllers with Mamdani and Sugeno inference systems were elaborated and built using prototyping ...

A supply chain is composed of a complex sequence of processing stages, ranging from raw materials supplies, parts manufacturing, components and end-products assembling, to the delivery of end products. In the context of supply chain management, supplier selection decision is considered one of the key issues faced by operations and purchasing managers to remain competitive. Therefore, requiremen...

This paper presents a novel learning algorithm of fuzzy perceptron neural networks (FPNNs) for classifiers that utilize expert knowledge represented by fuzzy IF-THEN rules as well as numerical data as inputs. The conventional linear perceptron network is extended to a second-order one, which is much more flexible for defining a discriminant function. In order to handle fuzzy numbers in neural n...

Regression analysis is an area of statistics that deals with the investigation of the dependence of a variable upon one or more variables. Recently, much research has studied fuzzy estimation. There are some approaches existing in the literature for the estimation of the fuzzy regression model. Two of them are frequently used in parameter estimation, one of which is proposed by Tanaka et al [21...
