In recent
years, intelligent control has emerged as one of the most active
and fruitful areas of research and development. Intelligent systems
are usually described by analogies with biological systems by,
for example, looking at how human beings perform control tasks,
recognize patterns, or make decisions. Such area is a fusion of
systems and control, computer science and operations research.
Intelligent control systems are typically able to perform one
or more of the following functions: planning actions at different
levels, learning from past experience, identifying changes against
the system behavior, such as performance degradation, failures,
cross-coupling and then reacting appropriately. The field of intelligent
control has been applied to modern industrial systems, which are
under dominance by diverse technical spheres of knowledge, specially
containing mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, control system and
drive train devices, where large models are required. To keep
up the driving technology, engineers need to build systems orders
of magnitude more complex than previous ones and deploy them faster.
Therefore, intelligent control techniques are important for dealing
with complex systems under such a new paradigm. This paper will
focus on neural networks and fuzzy logic applications into the
design of control systems.
2. TECHNIQUES
FOR INTELLIGENT CONTROL
The area of Intelligent Control is a fusion of a number of research
areas in Systems and Control, Computer Science, and Operations
Research among others, coming together, merging and expanding
in new directions and opening new horizons to address the problems
of this challenging and promising area. Intelligent control systems
are typically able to perform one or more of the following functions
to achieve autonomous behavior: planning actions at different
levels of detail, emulation of human expert behavior, learning
from past experiences, integrating sensor information, identifying
changes that threaten the system behavior, such as failures, and
reacting appropriately. This identifies the areas of Planning
and Expert Systems, Fuzzy Systems, Neural Networks, Machine Learning,
Multi-sensor Integration, Failure Diagnosis, and Reconfigurable
Control, to mention but a few, as existing research areas that
are related and important to Intelligent Control.
While these techniques provide several key approaches to Intelligent
Control, for complex systems they are often interconnected to
operate within an architecture which is hierarchical and often
distributed. It is for this reason that the areas of hierarchical
intelligent control, distributed intelligent control, and architectures
for intelligent systems are of significant importance in the design
and construction of the overall intelligent controller for complex
dynamical systems.
Finally, it is of fundamental importance to recognize that (i)
intelligent controllers are nonlinear (possibly hierarchical and
distributed) controllers that are constructed in non conventional
ways, and (ii) intelligent controllers are often designed to operate
in "critical environments" where, for example, the safety
of a crew (e.g., in an aircraft/spacecraft), or environmental
issues are of concern (e.g., from nuclear power plants or process
control). Hence, it is both possible, and of significant importance
to introduce mathematical modeling and analysis techniques to
be used in the verification and certification of the behavior
of intelligent control systems.
