Intelligent extended control of the walking robot motion

Abstract

The paper presents the design and simulation of a three degrees-of-freedom robotic device for use in an autonomous robotic platform. The tracking reference for the angular joints is given using a trained neuro-fuzzy model instead of the usual inverse kinematic system. The joint actuators are driven using a selection of position controllers and a comparison for their performance is provided. The paper draws on some previously investigated concepts of great actuality to the field such as neuro-fuzzy networks, Extenics and reduced-base fuzzy control.
