Ebook: Neuro-Control and its Applications

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology impacts all areas of the control discipline. New theory, new controllers, actuators, sensors, new industrial processes, computer methods, new applications, new philosophies, ........... , new challenges. Much of this development work resides in industrial reports, feasibility study papers and the reports of advance collaborative projects. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of such new work in all aspects of industrial control for wider and rapid dissemination. Sigeru Omatu, Marzuki Khalid, and Rubiyah Yusof have pursued the new developments of fuzzy logic and neural networks to present a series volume on neuro-control methods. As they demonstrate in the opening pages of their book, there is an explosion of interest in this field. Publication and patent activity in these areas are ever growing according to international is timely. databases and hence, this volume The presentation of the material follows a complementary pattern. Reviews of existing control techniques are given along side an exposition of the theoretical constructions of fuzzy logic controllers, and controllers based on neural networks. This is an extremely useful methodology which yields rewards in the applications chapters. The series of applications includes one very thorough experimental sequence for the control of a hot-water bath.

This study provides a hands-on approach to intelligent control with a special focus on neuro-control. The authors present various types of neuro-control paradigms based on the backpropagation algorithm. Examples for applications of neuro-control techniques to real control problems illustrate how the techniques are implemented. A comparison of neuro-control methodologies with conventional and traditional control methods enables the reader to select the appropriate control technique. Neuro-Control and Its Applications is a response to the explosion of interest in neuro-control methods. It is predicted that neuro-control techniques will soon be available for domestic appliances and industrial control systems, similar to the fuzzy logic revolution of recent years.
