This paper presents a design method of the wavelet neural network(WNN) controller based on a direct adaptive control scheme for the intelligent control of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(AUV) steering systems. The neural network is constructed by the wavelet orthogonal decomposition to form a wavelet neural network that can overcome nonlinearities and uncertainty. In our control method, the control signals are directly obtained by minimizing the difference between the reference track and original signal of AUV model that is controlled through a wavelet neural network. The control process is a dynamic on-line process that uses the wavelet neural network trained by gradient-descent method. Through computer simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

클라우드를 통한 데이터 처리는 통신 과정에서 지연시간과 통신비용 증가 등 같은 많은 문제가 발생한다. 사물인터넷 분야에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 엣지 컴퓨팅 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있고, 대표적인 응용 분야로 자율주행이 있다. 실내 자율주행에서는 실외와 달리 GPS와 교통정보를 이용할 수 없기 때문에 센서를 활용하여 주변 환경을 인식해야 한다. 그리고 자원이 제약된 모바일 환경이기 때문에 효율적인 자율주행 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 자율주행을 위해 신경망을 사용하는 기계학습을 제안한다. 신경망 모델은 LiDAR 센서에서 측정된 거리 데이터를 바탕으로 현재 위치에 가장 적절한 주행 명령을 예측한다. 신경망의 입력 데이터의 수에 따른 성능 평가를 수행하기 위해 6가지의 학습 모델을 설계하였다. 주행과 학습을 위해 Raspberry Pi 기반의 자율주행 차량을 제작하였고, 학습 데이터 수집과 성능평가를 위한 실내 주행 트랙을 제작하였다. 6가지의 신경망 모델들은 정확도와 응답시간 그리고 배터리 소모에 대한 성능 비교를 하였고, 입력 데이터의 수가 성능에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다.

We propose a new technique for the cruise control system design of a mobile robot with three drive wheel. The proposed control scheme uses a Gaussian function as a unit function in the fuzzy neural network and back propagation algorithm to train the fuzzy neural network controller in the framework of the specialized teaming architecture. It is proposed a learning controller consisting of too neural network-fuzzy based on independent reasoning and a connection net with fixed weights to simply the neural networks-fuzzy. The performance of the proposed controller is shown by performing the computer simulation for trajectory tracking of the speed and azimuth of a mobile robot driven by three independent wheels.

In this paper, the method for navigation and obstacle avoidance of an autonomous mobile robot is proposed. It is based on the fuzzy inference system which enables to deal with imprecise and uncertain information, and on the neural network which enables to learn input and output pattern data obtained from ultrasonic sensors. For autonomous navigation, the wall-following navigation utilizing input and output data by an expert's control action is constructed. An approach by the neural network is developed for the obstacle avoidance because of the redundant input data. For an autonomous navigation, the fuzzy control and the control of the neural network are integrated and its feasibility is demonstrated by means of experiment.

This paper describes a road-following controller using the proposed neural network for autonomous vehicle. Road-following with visual sensor like camera requires intelligent control algorithm because analysis of relation from road image to steering control is complex. The proposed neural network, relative similarity modular network(RSMN), is composed of some learning networks and a partitioniing network. The partitioning network divides input space into multiple sections by similarity of input data. Because divided section has simlar input patterns, RSMN can learn nonlinear relation such as road-following with visual control easily. Visual control uses two criteria on road image from camera; one is position of vanishing point of road, the other is slope of vanishing line of road. The controller using neural network has input of two criteria and output of steering angle. To confirm performance of the proposed neural network controller, a software is developed to simulate vehicle dynamics, camera image generation, visual control, and road-following. Also, prototype autonomous electric vehicle is developed, and usefulness of the controller is verified by physical driving test.

A new control method far vision-based autonomous vehicle is proposed to determine navigation direction by analyzing lane information from a camera and to navigate a vehicle. In this paper, characteristic featured data points are extracted from lane images using a lane recognition algorithm. Then the vehicle is controlled using new Levenberg-Marquardt neural network algorithm. To verify the usefulness of the algorithm, another algorithm, which utilizes the geometric relation of a camera and vehicle, is introduced. The second one involves transformation from an image coordinate to a vehicle coordinate, then steering is determined from Ackermann angle. The steering scheme using Ackermann angle is heavily depends on the correct geometric data of a vehicle and a camera. Meanwhile, the proposed neural network algorithm does not need geometric relations and it depends on the driving style of human driver. The proposed method is superior than other referenced neural network algorithms such as conjugate gradient method or gradient decent one in autonomous lateral control .

In this paper, we propose an adaptive mechanism based on immune algorithm and neural network identifier technique. It is also applied fur an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) system. When the immune algorithm is applied to the PID controller, there exists the case that the plant is damaged due to the abrupt change of PID parameters since the parameters are almost adjusted randomly. To solve this problem, we use the neural network identifier (NNI) technique fur modeling the plant and humoral immune algorithm (HIA) which performs the parameter tuning of the considered model, respectively. After the PID parameters are determined in this off-line manner, these gains are then applied to the plant for the on-line control using an immune adaptive algorithm. Moreover, even though the neural network model may not be accurate enough initially, the weighting parameters are adjusted to be accurate through the on-line fine tuning. Finally, the simulation and experimental result fur the control of steering and speed of AGV system illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme. These results for the proposed method also show that it has better performance than other conventional controller design methods.

This paper presents a neural network adaptive controller for autonomous diving control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) using adaptive backstepping method. In general, the dynamics of underwater robotics vehicles (URVs) are highly nonlinear and the hydrodynamic coefficients of vehicles are difficult to be accurately determined a priori because of variations of these coefficients with different operating conditions. In this paper, the smooth unknown dynamics of a vehicle is approximated by a neural network, and the remaining unstructured uncertainties, such as disturbances and unmodeled dynamics, are assumed to be unbounded, although they still satisfy certain growth conditions characterized by 'bounding functions' composed of known functions multiplied by unknown constants. Under certain relaxed assumptions pertaining to the control gain functions, the proposed control scheme can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system satisfy to be uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB). Simulation studies are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, and some practical features of the control laws are also discussed.

This paper proposes a self-recurrent wavelet neural network(SRWNN) based adaptive backstepping control technique for the robust steering control of autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs) with unknown model uncertainties and external disturbance. The SRWNN, which has the properties such as fast convergence and simple structure, is used as the uncertainty observer of the steering model of AUV. The adaptation laws for the weights of SRWNN and reconstruction error compensator are induced from the Lyapunov stability theorem, which are used for the on-line control of AUV. Finally, simulation results for steering control of an AUV with unknown model uncertainties and external disturbance are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
