This article focuses on the navigational path analysis of mobile robots using the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in a cluttered dynamic environment. In the ANFIS controller, after the input layer there is a fuzzy layer and the rest of the layers are neural network layers. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy hybrid system combines the advantages of the fuzzy logic system, which deals with explicit knowledge that can be explained and understood, and those of the neural network, which deals with implicit knowledge that can be acquired by learning. The inputs to the fuzzy logic layer include the front obstacle distance, the left obstacle distance, the right obstacle distance, and target steering. A learning algorithm based on the neural network technique has been developed to tune the parameters of fuzzy membership functions, which smooth the trajectory generated by the fuzzy logic system. Using the developed ANFIS controller, the mobile robots are able to avoid static and dynamic obstacles and reach the target successfully in cluttered environments. The experimental results agree well with the simulation results; this proves the authenticity of the theory developed.

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is recognized as one of effective forecasting engines for various business fields. This approach fits well with non-linear data. In fact, it is a black box system with random weighting, which is hard to train. One way to improve its performance is by hybridizing ANN with other methods. In this paper, a hybrid approach, Genetic Algorithm-Neural Fuzzy System (GA-NFS) is proposed to predict the number of unique visitors of an online journal website. The neural network weight is precisely determined using GA. Afterwards, the best weight has been used for testing data and processed using Sugeno Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) for time-series forecasting. Based on experiment, GA-NFS have been produced accuracy with 0.989 of root mean square error (RMSE) that is lower than the RMSE of a common NFS (2,004). This may indicate that the GA based weighting is able to improve the NFS performance on forecasting the number of journal unique visitors.

Abstract In this article, a hybrid approach is implemented namely, neural network training (NNT) based machine learning (ML) estimator inspired by artificial neural network (ANN) and self-adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to tackle the voltage aggravations in the power distribution network (DN). In this work, potential of swarm intelligence technique namely particle swam optimization (PSO) is analysed to obtain an optimum prediction model with certain modifications in training algorithm parameters. In practice, when the systems are continuously subjected to parametric changes or external disturbances, then ample time is dedicated to tune the system to regain its stable performance. To improve the dynamic performance of the system intelligence-based techniques are proposed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional controllers. So, gain tuning process based on the intelligence system is a desirable choice. The statistical tools are used to proclaim the effectiveness of the controllers. The obtained MSE, RMSE, ME, SD and R were evaluated as 0.0015959, 0.039949, −0.00089838, 0.039941 and 1 in the training phase and 0.0015372, 0.039207, −0.0005657, 0.039203 and 1 in the testing phase, respectively. The results revealed that the ANFIS-PSO network model could accomplish a better DC voltage regulation performance when it is compared to the conventional PI. The proposed intelligence strategies confirm that the predicted DVR model based on NNT-ML and ANFIS has faster convergence speed and reliable prediction rate. Moreover, the simulation results show that the dynamic response is improved with proposed PSO based NNT based ML and ANFIS (Takagi-Sugeno) that significantly compensates the voltage based PQ issues. The proposed DVR is actualized in MATLAB/SIMULINK platform.

The main aim of this study is usability evaluation of different approaches, including response surface methodoloy, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and artificial neural network models to predict and evaluate the bonding strength of glued laminated timber (glulam) manufactured using walnut wood layers and a natural adhesive (oxidized starch adhesive), with respect to this fact that using the modified starch can decrease the formaldehyde emission. In this survey, four variables taken as the input data include the molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea (1.12–1.52), nanocellulose content (0%–4%, based on the dry weight of the adhesive), the mass ratio of the oxidized starch adhesive to the urea formaldehyde resin (30:70–70:30), and the press time (4–8 min). In order to find the best predictive performance of each selected evaluation approach, different membership functions were used. The optimal results were obtained when the molar ratio, nanocellulose content, mass ratio of the oxidised starch, and press time were set at 1.22, 3%, 70:30, and 7 min, respectively. Based on the performance criteria including root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) obtained from the modeling of response surface methodology, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference network, and artificial neural network, it became evident that response surface methodology could offer a better prediction of the response with the lowest level of errors. Beside, artificial neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system support the response surface methodology approach to evaluate bonding strength response with high precision as well as to determine the optimal point in fabrication of laminated products.
