Summary This paper proposes an intelligent cooperative collision avoidance approach combining the enhanced potential field (EPF) with a fuzzy inference system (FIS) to resolve local minima and goal non-reachable with obstacles nearby issues and provide a near-optimal collision-free trajectory. A genetic algorithm is utilized to optimize parameters of membership function and rule base of the FISs. This work uses a single scenario containing all issues and interactions among unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for training. For validating the performance, two scenarios containing obstacles with different shapes and several UAVs in small airspace are considered. Multiple simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms the conventional EPF approach statistically.

Multi-unmanned aerial vehicle trajectory planning is one of the most complex global optimum problems in multi-unmanned aerial vehicle coordinated control. Results of recent research works on trajectory planning reveal persisting theoretical and practical problems. To mitigate them, this paper proposes a novel optimized artificial potential field algorithm for multi-unmanned aerial vehicle operations in a three-dimensional dynamic space. For all purposes, this study considers the unmanned aerial vehicles and obstacles as spheres and cylinders with negative electricity, respectively, while the targets are considered spheres with positive electricity. However, the conventional artificial potential field algorithm is restricted to a single unmanned aerial vehicle trajectory planning in two-dimensional space and usually fails to ensure collision avoidance. To deal with this challenge, we propose a method with a distance factor and jump strategy to resolve common problems such as unreachable targets and ensure that the unmanned aerial vehicle does not collide into the obstacles. The method takes companion unmanned aerial vehicles as the dynamic obstacles to realize collaborative trajectory planning. Besides, the method solves jitter problems using the dynamic step adjustment method and climb strategy. It is validated in quantitative test simulation models and reasonable results are generated for a three-dimensional simulated urban environment.

In this paper, we propose a method to assess the collision risk and a strategy to avoid the collision for solving the problem of dynamic real-time collision avoidance between robots when a multi-robot system is applied to perform a given task collaboratively and cooperatively. The collision risk assessment method is based on the moving direction and position of robots, and the collision avoidance strategy is based on the artificial potential field (APF) and the fuzzy inference system (FIS). The traditional artificial potential field (TAPF) has the problem of the local minimum, which will be optimized by improving the repulsive field function. To adjust the speed of the robot adaptively and improve the security performance of the system, the FIS is used to plan the speed of robots. The hybridization of the improved artificial potential field (IAPF) and the FIS will make each robot safely and quickly find a collision-free path from the starting position to the target position in a completely unknown environment. The simulation results show that the strategy is effective and useful for collision avoidance in multi-robot systems.

According to International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea, collision avoidance started from assessing the collision risk. In particular, the radar was mentioned as suitable equipment for observation and analysis of the collision risk. Thus, many researches have been conducted by utilizing the radar. Fuzzy Inference System based on Type-1 Fuzzy Logic (T1FIS) using Distance to Closest Point of Approach ( D C P A ) and Time to Closest Point of Approach ( T C P A ) computed via the radar has been largely used for assessing the collision risk. However, the T1FIS had significant limitations on the membership function not including linguistic and numerical uncertainties. In order to solve the issue, we developed the Fuzzy Inference System based on Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic (IT2FIS) as follows: (i) the T1FIS was selected among proposed methods based on the type-1 fuzzy logic; (ii) we extended the T1FIS into the IT2FIS by gradually increasing the Footprint of Uncertainty (FOU) size taking into consideration symmetry, and (iii) numerical simulations were conducted for performance validation. As a result, the IT2FIS using the FOU size “±5%” (i.e., interval 10% between upper membership function and lower membership function) not only computed the appropriate and linear collision risk index smoothly until near-collision situation but also help to overcome uncertainties that exist in real navigation environments.


For safe navigation of ship at sea, it is essential to provide navigation intention message to target ship for collision avoidance. Therefore it must be considered for the MASS to transmit navigation intention message to the target ship after making a decision of method for collision avoidance in the encountering situation. This paper presents an algorithm of navigation intention message transmission through the MASS, which is able to evaluate the risk of collision and apply international regulations for collision avoidance. The Fuzzy inference system is used to assess the risk of collision. In case that the risk of collision exceeds the pre-designated threshold, the navigation intention message is transmitted from the MASS to the target ship. Before the collision situation occurs, the target ship is possible to be aware of the navigation intention from the MASS. Proposed the algorithm contributes to providing systematic information exchange between the MASS and the target ship

Prakiraan atau peramalan beban listrik dibutuhkan dalam menentukan jumlah listrik yang dihasilkan. Ini menentukan  agar tidak terjadi beban berlebih yang menyebabkan pemborosan atau kekurangan beban listrik yang mengakibatkan krisis listrik di konsumen. Oleh karena itu di butuhkan prakiraan atau peramalan yang tepat untuk menghasilkan energi listrik. Teknologi softcomputing dapat digunakan  sebagai metode alternatif untuk prediksi beban litrik jangka pendek salah satunya dengan metode  Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System pada penelitian tugas akhir ini. Data yang di dapat untuk mendukung penelitian ini adalah data dari APD PLN JAWA BARAT yang berisikan laporan data beban puncak bulanan penyulang area gardu induk majalaya dari januari 2011 sampai desember 2014 sebagai data acuan dan data aktual januari-desember 2015. Data kemudian dilatih menggunakan metode ANFIS pada software MATLAB versi b2010. Dari data hasil pelatihan data ANFIS kemudian dilakukan perbandingan dengan data aktual dan data metode regresi meliputi perbandingan anfis-aktual, regresi-aktual dan perbandingan anfis-regresi-aktual. Dari perbandingan disimpulkan bahwa data metode anfis lebih mendekati data aktual dengan rata-rata 1,4%, menunjukan prediksi ANFIS dapat menjadi referensi untuk peramalan beban listrik dimasa depan.
