this paper presents a stable new algorithm for force/position control in robot manipulators. in this algorithm, position vectors are measured by sensors and then used in the control law. since using force sensor has some issues such as high costs and technical problems, an approach is presented to overcome these issues. in this respect, force sensor is replaced by an adaptive fuzzy estimator to...

In this study a new approach to rank exponential fuzzy numbers using  -cuts is established. The metric distance of the interval numbers is extended to exponential fuzzy numbers. By using the ranking of exponential fuzzy numbers and using  -cuts the critical path of a project network is solved and illustrated by numerical examples. Keywords: Exponential Fuzzy Numbers,  -cuts, Metric Dista...

Modeling and solving real world problems is one of the most important issues in optimization problems. In this paper, we present an approach to solve Fuzzy Interval Flexible Linear Programming (FIFLP) problems that simultaneously have the interval ambiguity in the matrix of coefficients .In the first step, using the interval problem solving techniques; we transform the fuzzy interval flexible p...

short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . these results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...

This paper presents an integrated fuzzy approach for selecting R&D project. In the integrated approach, fuzzy concepts are used for decision-makers’ subjective judgments to reflect the vague nature of the selection process. Fuzzy ANP and Fuzzy TOPSIS are included in the integrated approach. Fuzzy ANP is used to determine the fuzzy weights of criteria and sub-criteria. Fuzzy TOPSIS aims to rank ...
