Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...

Non-linear dynamical systems are difficult to control due to the model uncertainties and external disturbances that may occur in these systems. This paper addresses the problem of identification using dynamic neural networks (DNNs) based on genetic algorithm (GA) for nonlinear dynamic systems. Four different dynamic neural networks are used for identification of the same nonlinear dynamic syste...

In practical engineering, it is difficult to establish complex nonlinear dynamic equations based on theories of mechanics. Data-driven models are built using neural networks in this paper meet the needs high dimension, multi-scale and precision. We construct a two-coefficient loss function for whole data-driven modeling substructure according linear multi-step method. The forward Euler method c...

Dynamic neural networks are often used for nonlinear system identification. This paper presents a novel series-parallel dynamic neural network structure which is suitable for nonlinear system identification. A theoretical proof is given showing that this type of dynamic neural network is able to approximate finite trajectories of nonlinear dynamical systems. Also, this neural network is trained...

information on nitrate in groundwater resources requires periodic measurements are accurate. despite the measure in some areas due to sensitive social and health community are not reported. therefore, be informed of the status of each area of water quality, modeling is essential. the purpose of this study was the application of artificial neural network method for estimating nitrate and compare...

pavement permanent deformations due to lack of shear strength in mixture are a major reason of rutting. any simple test to determine mixtures resistance to permanent deformation isn’t distinguished in the 1st level of superpave mix design method and prevalent methods for evaluating mixture rut resistance are expensive and time-consuming. two aggregate types, gradations, asphalt cements and fill...

in this paper, a recurrent fuzzy-neural network (rfnn) controller with neural network identifier in direct control model is designed to control the speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine in a combined cycle power plant. since the turbine operation in combined cycle unit is considered, speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine should be simultaneously controlled by fuel command ...
