In this paper, an adaptive mechanism based on immune algorithm is designed and it is applied to the driving control of the autonomous guided vehicle(AGV). When the immune algorithm is applied to the PID controller, there exists the case that the plant is damaged by the abrupt change of PID parameters since the parameters are adjusted almost randomly. To solve this problem, a neural network used to model the plant and the parameter tuning of the model is performed by the immune algorithm. After the PID parameters are determined through this off-line manner, these parameters are then applied to the plant for the on-line control using immune adaptive algorithm. Moreover, even though the neural network model may not be accurate enough initially, the weighting parameters are adjusted more accurately through the on-line fine tuning. The experiment for the control of steering and speed of AGV is performed. The results show that the proposed controller provides better performances than other conventional controllers.

The full automation welding has not yet been achieved partly because the mathematical model for the process parameters of a given welding task is not fully understood and quantified. Several mathematical models to control welding quality, productivity, microstructure and weld properties in arc welding processes have been studied. However, it is not an easy task to apply them to the various practical situations because the relationship between the process parameters and the bead geometry is non-linear and also they are usually dependent on the specific experimental results. Practically, it is difficult, but important to know how to establish a mathematical model that can predict the result of the actual welding process and how to select the optimum welding condition under a certain constraint. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop an neural network model to predict the weld top-bead height as a function of key process parameters in the welding. and to compare the developed models using three different training algorithms in order to select an adequate neural network model for prediction of top-bead height.

The training and prediction modeling using an artificial neural network was implemented to predict the turbidity of treated water as well as to estimate the optimized feed concentration of polyaluminium chloride (PACl) in a water treatment plant. The parameters used in the input layers were pH, temperature, turbidity and alkalinity, while those in output layers were PACl and turbidity of treated water. Levenberg-Marquadt method of feedforward back-propagation perceptron in the neural network toolbox of MATLAB program was used in this study. Correlation coefficients of the training data with the measured data were 0.9997 for PACl and 0.6850 for turbidity and those of the testing data with measured data were 0.9140 for PACl and 0.3828 for turbidity, when four parameters at input layer, 12-12 nodes each at both the first and the second hidden layers, and two parameters(PACl and turbidity) at output layer were used. Although the predictability of PACl was improved, compared to that of the previous studies to use the only coagulant dose as output layer, turbidity in treated water could not be predicted well. Acquisition of more data through several years obtained with the advanced on-line measuring system could make the artificial neural network useful and practical in actual water treatment plants.

Despite the widespread use in the various manufacturing industries, the full automation of the robotic CO$_2$ welding has not yet been achieved partly because the mathematical model for the process parameters of a given welding task is not fully understood and quantified.

However, it is not an easy task to apply them to the various practical situations because the relationship between the process parameters and the bead geometry is non-linear and also they are usually dependent on the specific experimental results.

In this paper, we propose two noise parameter measurement methods using spectrum analyzer. First method, we measure a noise correlation matrix using the 6-port network, and we calculate noise parameters using measured a noise correlation matrix. Second method, we directly measure noise figures of the DUT for source impedance changes, and then noise parameters are extracted from the measured noise figures. In order to measure a noise figure, we present a method of measuring a noise figure of the DUT that have arbitrary source impedances using spectrum analyzer and a method of eliminating a noise effect of a impedance tuner. Finally, the noise parameters of a passive and active DUT using proposed two methods are compared. The comparison shows that the two results obtained from for the two methods give almost identical noise parameters. The noise parameters measured by 6-port network accurately predict measured noise figures of the DUT for source impedance changes, and noise parameters measured by 6-port network is verified from the comparison.

In the past, designers relied primarily on past experience and reference to industry standard thresholds to design spaces. Such design often results in spaces that do not meet the needs of users. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the process and way of generating design parameters by constructing a BP neural network algorithm for spatial design. From the perspective. This paper adopts an experimental research method to take a kindergarten with a large number of complex needs in space as the object of study, and through the BP neural network algorithm in machine learning, the correlation between environmental behavior parameters and spatial design parameters is imprinted. The way of generating spatial design parameters is studied. In the future, the corresponding spatial design parameters can be derived by replacing specific environmental behavior influence factors, which can be applied to a wider range of scenarios and improve the efficiency of designers.

In this paper, a mathematical model and a simulation method for the response time analysis of Local Interconnect Network(LIN) based network systems are proposed. Network-induced delays in a network based control system can vary widely according to the transmission time of message and the overhead time of transmission. Therefore, in order to design a distributed control system using LIN network, a method to predict and verify the timing behavior of LIN protocol is required at the network design phase. Furthermore, a simulation environment based on a timing model of LIN protocol is beneficial to predict the timing behavior of LIN. The model equation is formulated with six timing parameters deduced from timing properties of LIN specification. Additionally, LIN conformance test equations to verify LIN device driver are derived with timing constraints of the parameters. The proposed model equation and simulation method are validated with a result that is measured at real LIN based network system.

Although asymptotic bounds of wireless network capacity have been heavily pursued, the answers to the following questions are still critical for network planning, protocol and architecture design: Given a three-dimensional (3D) network space with the number of active users randomly located in the space and using the wireless communication technology, what are the expected per-flow throughput, network capacity, and network transport capacity? In addition, how can the protocol parameters be tuned to enhance network performance? In this paper, we focus on the ultra wideband (UWB) based wireless personal area networks (WPANs) and provide answers to these questions, considering the salient features of UWB communications, i.e., low transmission/interference power level, accurate ranging capability, etc. Specifically, we demonstrate how to explore the spatial multiplexing gain of UWB networks by allowing appropriate concurrent transmissions. Given 3D space and the number of active users, we derive the expected number of concurrent transmissions, network capacity and transport capacity of the UWB network. The results reveal the main factors affecting network (transport) capacity, and how to determine the best protocol parameters, e.g., exclusive region size, in order to maximize the capacity. Extensive simulation results are given to validate the analytical results.

This paper proposes a neural network that can reduce the number of parameters while reducing matching errors in occluded regions to increase the accuracy of depth maps in stereo matching. Stereo matching-based object recognition is utilized in many fields to more accurately recognize situations using images. When there are many objects in a complex image, an occluded area is generated due to overlap between objects and occlusion by background, thereby lowering the accuracy of the depth map. To solve this problem, existing research methods that create context information and combine it with the cost volume or RoIselect in the occluded area increase the complexity of neural networks, making it difficult to learn and expensive to implement. In this paper, we create a depthwise seperable neural network that enhances regional feature extraction before cost volume generation, reducing the number of parameters and proposing a neural network that is robust to occlusion errors. Compared to PSMNet, the proposed neural network reduced the number of parameters by 30%, improving 5.3% in color error and 3.6% in test loss.

It is important to quickly and accurately build a disaster network or tactical mobile communication network adapting to the field. In configuring the traditional wireless communication systems, the parameters of the base station are set through cell planning. However, for cell planning, information on the environment must be established in advance. If parameters which are not appropriate for the field are used, because they are not reflected in cell planning, additional optimization must be carried out to solve problems and improve performance after network construction. In this paper, we present a rapid mobile communication network construction and optimization method using artificial intelligence and SON technologies in mobile communication base stations. After automatically setting the base station parameters using the CNN model that classifies the terrain with path loss prediction through the DNN model from the location of the base station and the measurement information, the path loss model enables continuous overage/capacity optimization.
