This paper addresses the issue of obstacle avoidance of a robot manipulator fixed in a predefined environment. This is achieved by using a selfmotion technique related to the robot arms. It is obtained by projecting the gradient of a scalar function (representing the criterion) on the null space of the Jacobean matrix related to the robot. Two important analytical methods are generally used: Gr...

Distribution of contact pressure between the bipolar plate and gas diffusion layer considerably affect the performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell. In this regard, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is developed to predict the contact pressure distribution on the gas diffusion layer due to dimensional errors of the bipolar plate ribs in a proton exchange membrane fuel ce...

in this paper, an adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (anfis) is used for forecasting of natural gas consumption. it is clear that natural gas consumption prediction for future, surly can help statesmen to decide more certain. there are many variables which effect on gas consumption but two variables that named gross domestic product (gdp) and population, are selected as two input var...

Taking an intelligent trimming device hydraulic manipulator as the research object, aiming at uncertainty, nonlinearity and complexity of its system, a trajectory tracking control scheme is studied in this paper. In light virtual work principle, coupling dynamic model system established. order to improve anti-interference adaptive abilities compound strategy combining neuro-fuzzy inference (ANF...

This study describes the performance assessment of the Huangpu Bridge in Guangzhou, China based on long-term monitoring in real-time by the kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) technique. Wavelet transformde-noising is applied to filter the GPS measurements, while the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) time series output-only model is used to predict the deformations of GPS-...

Medical diagnosis is often done by expertise and experience of phisician, but sometimes may lead to misdiagnosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system. In this disease, body produces antibodies that attack and damage the Myelin, in which the myelin sheath (the insulation for nerve fibers) is in trouble and the damage to myelin in the central nervous system cause to...

Slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. Accurate prediction of the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. In this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of FOS. Three ANFIS models were implemented including g...

System modelling based on conventional mathematical tools like differential equations is not well suited for dealing with ill-defined and uncertain systems. By contrast, a fuzzy inference system, employing fuzzy if–then rules can model the qualitative aspects of human knowledge and reasoning processes without employing precise quantitative analyses. This fuzzy modeling or fuzzy identification e...

Energy is regarded as one of the most important elements in agricultural sector. During the last decades energy consumption in agriculture has increased, so finding the relationship between energy consumption and crop yields in agricultural production can help to achieve sustainable agriculture. In this study several adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models were evaluated to predict...

This chapter discusses the foundation of neuro-fuzzy systems. First, we introduce Takagi, Sugeno, and Kang (TSK) fuzzy model [l,2] and its difference from the Mamdani model. Under the idea of TSK fuzzy model, we discuss a neuro-fuzzy system architecture: Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) that is developed by Jang [3]. This model allows the fuzzy systems to learn the paramete...
