Aims
Experts in different branches try to approach their application-specific control and information processing problems by using fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks (ANN). The experiences gathered up to now prove robotics and automation technology to be predestined fields of application of both these approaches. The major topics of the course are control problems in robotics and automation technology, principles of fuzzy logic and ANN and their practical appplications, comparison of conventional and advanced control methods, combination of fuzzy logic and ANN in control systems. The course gives a comprehensive treatment of these advanced approaches for interested students.
