New Insights: How Bio-inspired Intelligence Assists in Robotics and Embedded Systems
Chaomin Luo | Chaomin.luo@ece.msstate.edu
Abstract: Nowadays, computational intelligence, machine learning, and, especially, bio-inspired intelligence plays an increasingly important role on electrical engineering, and mechatronics engineering including robotics, control, automation, and embedded systems. In this talk, computational intelligence, machine learning and bio-inspired intelligence methods are developed for a variety of real-world applications such as autonomous vehicle systems, mobile robot control, intelligent control, and embedded systems. A sequence of novel neural dynamics, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, and deep reinforcement learning techniques, associated with optimization, numerical and heuristic methods, for embedded systems, intelligent vehicle motion control, and tracking control are developed. Nature-inspired optimization algorithms and various innovative biologically inspired neural networks (BINN) algorithms are developed for motion control, navigation, robot vision, mapping and tracking control motivated through biological neural systems as most of biological neural systems are bounded and stable, with robotic applications such as cleaning robots, rescue robots, underwater exploration robots, land exploration robots, and service robots. Automobile accidents account for nearly 34,000 accidental deaths, unfortunately, in the United States yearly; that number is expected to rise by 65% over the next 20 years. The objective of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is to support drivers through warning to reduce the risk exposure, triggering the protection cycles to prevent from accidents. Sensor fusion, system modeling and development for ADAS are performed and addressed as well. Effectiveness, feasibility, and efficiency of the proposed real-time motion control, intelligent control, navigation, localization, vision, and map building models of autonomous mobile robots have been successfully validated by comparison studies and actual experiments.
