Toward Humanoid Robots: The Role of Fuzzy Sets


Book Description

This book offers a comprehensive reference guide for modeling humanoid robots using intelligent and fuzzy systems. It provides readers with the necessary intelligent and fuzzy tools for controlling humanoid robots by incomplete, vague, and imprecise information or insufficient data, where classical modeling approaches cannot be applied. The respective chapters, written by prominent researchers, explain a wealth of both basic and advanced concepts including fuzzy control, metaheuristic-based control, neutrosophic control, etc. To foster reader comprehension, all chapters include relevant numerical examples or case studies. Taken together, they form an excellent reference guide for researchers, lecturers, and postgraduate students pursuing research on humanoid robots. Moreover, by extending all the main aspects of humanoid robots to its intelligent and fuzzy counterparts, the book presents a dynamic snapshot of the field that is expected to stimulate new directions, ideas, and developments.




Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems


Book Description

This book presents recent research in intelligent and fuzzy techniques on digital transformation and the new normal, the state to which economies, societies, etc. settle following a crisis bringing us to a new environment. Digital transformation and the new normal-appearing in many areas such as digital economy, digital finance, digital government, digital health, and digital education are the main scope of this book. The readers can benefit from this book for preparing for a digital “new normal” and maintaining a leadership position among competitors in both manufacturing and service companies. Digitizing an industrial company is a challenging process, which involves rethinking established structures, processes, and steering mechanisms presented in this book. The intended readers are intelligent and fuzzy systems researchers, lecturers, M.Sc., and Ph.D. students studying digital transformation and new normal. The book covers fuzzy logic theory and applications, heuristics, and metaheuristics from optimization to machine learning, from quality management to risk management, making the book an excellent source for researchers.




q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets


Book Description

This book collects chapters which discuss interdisciplinary solutions to complex problems by using different approaches in order to save money, time and resources. The book presents the results on the recent advancements in artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, decision-making problems, emerging problems and practical achievements in the broad knowledge management field. q-ROFS is one of the hot topics for all the researchers, industrialists as well as academicians. This book is of interest to professionals and researchers working in the field of decision making and computational intelligence, as well as postgraduate and undergraduate students studying applications of fuzzy sets. The book helps solve different kinds of the decision-making problems such as medical diagnosis, pattern recognition, construction problems and technology selection under the uncertain fuzzy environment. Containing 19 chapters, the book begins by giving a topology of the q-ROFSs and their applications. It then progresses in a logical fashion, dedicating a chapter to each approach, including the generalized information measures for q-ROFSs, implementation of q-ROFSs to medical diagnosis, inventory model, multi-attribute decision-making and approaches to real-life industrial problems such as green campus transportation, social responsibility evaluation pattern and extensions of the q-ROFSs.




Handbook of Research on the Applications of Neutrosophic Sets Theory and Their Extensions in Education


Book Description

Fuzzy sets have experienced multiple expansions since their conception to enhance their capacity to convey complex information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, image fuzzy sets, q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets, and neutrosophic sets are a few of these extensions. Researchers and academics have acquired a lot of information about their theories and methods for making decisions. However, only a small number of research findings discuss how neutrosophic sets theory and their extensions (NSTEs) are used in education. The Handbook of Research on the Applications of Neutrosophic Sets Theory and Their Extensions in Education implements fresh scientific approaches to enhance the quality of decisions under neutrosophic environments, particularly within education. Covering key topics such as data modeling, educational technologies, decision making, and learning management systems, this major reference work is ideal for instructional designers, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Humanoid Robots


Book Description

For many years, the human being has been trying, in all ways, to recreate the complex mechanisms that form the human body. Such task is extremely complicated and the results are not totally satisfactory. However, with increasing technological advances based on theoretical and experimental researches, man gets, in a way, to copy or to imitate some systems of the human body. These researches not only intended to create humanoid robots, great part of them constituting autonomous systems, but also, in some way, to offer a higher knowledge of the systems that form the human body, objectifying possible applications in the technology of rehabilitation of human beings, gathering in a whole studies related not only to Robotics, but also to Biomechanics, Biomimmetics, Cybernetics, among other areas. This book presents a series of researches inspired by this ideal, carried through by various researchers worldwide, looking for to analyze and to discuss diverse subjects related to humanoid robots. The presented contributions explore aspects about robotic hands, learning, language, vision and locomotion.
