Abstract
Nowadays, versatile robots are developed around the world. Novel algorithms are needed for controlling such robots. A 2-Layer fuzzy controller can deal with many inputs as well as many outputs, and its overall structure is much simpler than that of a general fuzzy controller. The main problem encountered in fuzzy control is the design of the fuzzy controller. In this paper, the fuzzy controller is designed by the schema co-evolutionary algorithm. This algorithm can quickly and easily find a global solution. Therefore, the schema co-evolutionary algorithm is used to design a 2-layer fuzzy controller in this study. We apply it to a mobile robot and verify the efficacy of the 2-layer fuzzy controller and the schema co-evolutionary algorithm through the experiments.
