Course objectives
This course is focused on modern methods of problem solving by means of vagueness and its tolerance primarily in practical application area. Softcomputing methods have a lot of application for example in robotics.
Syllabus
  • Students will be introduced to basics of the best known softcomputing methods and their practical using chiefly in robotics. Inseparable part of the course is also description of using softcomputing methods to design of advanced forms of management and control systems and also to optimalisation problems.
    1. Introduction to softcomputing, basic terms
    2. Artificial neural networks
    3. Fuzzy systems
    4. Fuzzy rule-based system for management and control
    5. Genetic algorithms
    6. Bayesian Networks
    7. The application of the softcomputing in robotics
    8. The application of the softcomputing to controlling in 2-D space
    9. The application of the softcomputing to controlling in 3-D space (UAV)
    10. Optimalisation problems
    11. Basics of Chaos Theory
