The problem of determining a smooth and collision-free path with maximum possible speed for a Mobile Robot (MR) which is chasing a moving target in a dynamic environment is addressed in this paper. Genetic Network Programming with Reinforcement Learning (GNP-RL) has several important features over other evolutionary algorithms such as it combines offline and online learning on the one hand, and it combines diversified and intensified search on the other hand, but it was used in solving the problem of MR navigation in static environment only. This paper presents GNP-RL based on predicting collision positions as a first attempt to apply it for MR navigation in dynamic environment. The combination between features of the proposed collision prediction and that of GNP-RL provides safe navigation (effective obstacle avoidance) in dynamic environment, smooth movement, and reducing the obstacle avoidance latency time. Simulation in dynamic environment is used to evaluate the performance of collision prediction based GNP-RL compared with that of two state-of-the art navigation approaches, namely, Q-Learning (QL) and Artificial Potential Field (APF). The simulation results show that the proposed GNP-RL outperforms both QL and APF in terms of smooth movement and safer navigation. In addition, it outperforms APF in terms of preserving maximum possible speed during obstacle avoidance.

최근 고층건물의 방진시스템 및 자동차의 현가장치 분야에 MR 유체를 이용한 반능동 진동제어에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되면서 MR 유체의 밸브모드 특성을 이용한 선형 MR 댐퍼가 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 전단모드를 이용한 회전형 MR 댐퍼에 관한 연구는 초기단계에 머물고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 주행로봇의 무한회전형 액츄에이터용 회전형 댐퍼의 진동제어에 관한 연구를 수행하였으며, 퍼지 로직을 기반으로 한 회전형 MR 댐퍼용 진동제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 퍼지제어기의 입출력 이득과 멤버쉽 함수의 모양은 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 조정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 MR 댐퍼에 충격력이 가해질 때 퍼지 스카이-훅 제어의 제어성능을 보여준다.

This paper proposes a prototype of a safe and reliable wheelchair robot with Human Robot Interaction (HRI). Since the wheelchair users are usually the handicapped, the wheelchair robot must guarantee the safety and reliability for the motion while considering users intention, A single color CCD camera is mounted for input user´s command based on human-friendly gestures, and a ultra sonic sensor array is used for sensing external motion environment. We use face and hand directional gestures as the user´s command. By combining the user´s command with the sensed environment configuration, the planner of the wheelchair robot selects an optimal motion. We implement a prototype wheelchair robot, MR, HURI (Mobile Robot with Human Robot Interaction) ...

We developed a FLC(Fuzzy Logic Controller) for tracking control of MR(Mobile Robot) with obstacle avoidance. In this research, we made a heuristic approach to tracking control which is simple and efficient in almost every situation using FLC. In addition, smooth turn is accomplished and also obstacles are avoided. Also we used the XX(don't care) linguistic variable for inputs in FLC to make simple rule-table. With various simulations, the validity of our FLC was shown.
