The DFT modeling employs the dynamical systems approach to model the human motor and sensory stimulus unified with cognitive behavior. Since the DFT model includes the embodiment already embedded into the model, it can be easily used to generate task oriented robotic behavior similar to human activities including cognition. In this study the navigation trajectories of an aircraft with a pilot will be modeled using the DFT approach. The model will include the embodiment of the human mind into the body of the human and the aircraft. In an aircraft the sensory data required to maintain situational awareness is transferred to the pilot mostly via the displays. Additional tools may be aural and tactile systems. The DFT model in this study will include these cockpit tools as interacting layers in the DFT model following an extended mind thesis approach. Finally, in order to guide the development and verification of the trajectory equations deduced from the model within a simulated three-dimensional environment including waypoints and obstacles, real flight data records from various aircrafts will be used.

An Information Theoretic Approach to Classify Cognitive States Using fMRI
Onal, Itir; Ozay, Mete; Firat, Orhan; GİLLAM, İLKE; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-11-13)
In this study, an information theoretic approach is proposed to model brain connectivity during a cognitive processing task, measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). For this purpose, a local mesh of varying size is formed around each voxel. The arc weights of each mesh are estimated using a linear regression model by minimizing the squared error. Then, the optimal mesh size for each sample, that represents the information distribution in the brain, is estimated by minimizing various inform...
An embodied and cognitive model of figther pilot high level air-to-air engagement decision
Kaygusuz, Yasin; Çakır, Murat Perit (2023-08-01)
The development of pilot models has been a long-standing interest in cognitive modeling and AI due to the potential gains they offer in aerial robotics. In this study, a cognitive and embodied fighter pilot model is developed to obtain pilot-like characteristics for making high-level decisions in air-to-air engagements, using spiking neurons in ensembles implemented in the Neural Engineering Objects (NENGO) framework (Bekolay et al., 2014; Eliasmith, 2015). One major problem that is faced when creating such...
An improved method for inference of piecewise linear systems by detecting jumps using derivative estimation
Selcuk, A. M.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01)
Inference of dynamical systems using piecewise linear models is a promising active research area. Most of the investigations in this field have been stimulated by the research in functional genomics. In this article we study the inference problem in piecewise linear systems. We propose first identifying the state transitions by detecting the jumps of the derivative estimates, then finding the guard conditions of the state transitions (thresholds) from the values of the state variables at the state transitio...
An artificial neural network model for virtual Superpave asphalt mixture design
Ozturk, Hande I.; Öztürk, Hande Işık (Informa UK Limited, 2014-02-07)
This study presents an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the asphalt mixture volumetrics at Superpave gyration levels. The input data-set needed by the algorithm is composed of gradation of the mix, bulk specific gravity of aggregates, low- and high-performance grade of the binder, binder content of the mix and the target number of gyrations (i.e. N-ini, N-des and N-max). The proposed ANN model uses a three-layer scaled conjugate gradient back-propagation (feed-forward) network. The ANN was t...
Adaptive control of underactuated planar pronking
Dilsad Er, Guner; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (2022-01-01)
Underactuated legged robots depict highly nonlinear and complex dynamical behaviors that create significant challenges in accurately modeling system dynamics using both first principles and system identification approaches. Hence, the design of stabilizing controllers becomes more challenging due to inaccurate modeling. Suppose physical parameters on mathematical models have miscalibrations due to uncertainty in identifying and modeling processes. In that case, designed controllers could perform poorly or e...
