The authors attempt to develop and implement a system executing a type of action according to a decision based imperfectly sensed and processed input data from multiple sensors. The system consists of three main modules, namely the "Sens-Perceptor" module (SP), the Fractal Inference Network (FIN), and the Neuro Controller (NC). Inputs to the Sens-Perceptor are the images sensed in an environment. In an implementation, these images are those of objects contained in the robot hand workspace. The objects considered are imperfectly known graspable parts available to the robot hand in its environment. Since the objects are imperfectly known, a fractal based methodology is developed for assigning initial beliefs at the low level processing of object images. The FIN is used for determining the task oriented hand preshapes of a multifinger robot hand for ill-perceived object contours. The neurocontroller locally activates the FIN by firing network nodes that bear high relevance to the output of the Sens-Perceptor module

Scheduling approaches for parameter sweep applications in a heterogeneous distributed environment
Karaduman, Gülşah; Şener, Cevat; Alpdemir, Mahmut Nedim; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, the focus is on the development of scheduling algorithms for Sim-PETEK which is a framework for parallel and distributed execution of simulations. Since it is especially designed for running parameter sweep applications in a heterogeneous distributed computational environment, multi-round and adaptive scheduling approaches are followed. Five different scheduling algorithms are designed and evaluated for scheduling purposes of Sim-PETEK. Development of these algorithms are arranged in a way t...
Anomaly detection from personal usage patterns in web applications
Vural, Gürkan; Yöndem (Turhan), Meltem; Department of Computer Engineering (2006)
The anomaly detection task is to recognize the presence of an unusual (and potentially hazardous) state within the behaviors or activities of a computer user, system, or network with respect to some model of normal behavior which may be either hard-coded or learned from observation. An anomaly detection agent faces many learning problems including learning from streams of temporal data, learning from instances of a single class, and adaptation to a dynamically changing concept. The domain is complicated by ...
Decision and feature fusion over the fractal inference network using camera and range sensors
Erkmen, İsmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Ucar, E (1998-11-03)
The objective of the ongoing work is to fuse information from uncertain environmental data taken by cameras, short range sensors including infrared and ultrasound sensors for strategic target recognition and task specific action in Mobile Robot applications. Our present goal in this paper is to demonstrate target recognition for service robot in a simple office environment. It is proposed to fuse all sensory signals obtained from multiple sensors over a fully layer-connected sensor network system that provi...
Fuzzy Hybrid Systems modeling with application in decision making and control
Boutalis, Yiannis; Moor, Thomas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-11-28)
Hybrid Systems are systems containing both discrete event and continuous variable components. Many recent contributions address crisp situations, where ambiguity or subjectivity in the measured data is absent. In this paper, we propose Fuzzy Hybrid Systems to account for inaccurate measurements and uncertain dynamics. We present a strategy to determine the most appropriate control actions in a sampled data setting. The proposed approach is based on three basic steps that are performed in each sampling perio...
ADAPTIVE-CONTROL OF FLEXIBLE MULTILINK MANIPULATORS
BODUR, M; SEZER, ME (Informa UK Limited, 1993-09-01)
An adaptive self-tuning control scheme is developed for end-point position control of flexible manipulators. The proposed scheme has three characteristics. First, it is based on a dynamic model of a flexible manipulator described in cartesian coordinates, which eliminates the burden and inaccuracy of translating a desired end-point trajectory to joint coordinates using inverse kinematic relations. Second, the effect of flexibility is included in the dynamic model by approximating flexible links with a numbe...
