Robot Systems with Fuzzy Signature Rule Bases

Abstract

This paper presents some examples for fuzzy communication and intention guessing from the real life to the cooperation of intelligent mobile robots. In a special experimental environment a new communication approach is investigated for intelligent cooperation of autonomous mobile robots. Effective, fast and compact communication is one of the most important cornerstones of a high-end cooperating system. In this paper we propose a fuzzy communication system where the codebooks are built up by fuzzy signatures. Fuzzy signature can be considered as special multidimensional fuzzy data. Some of the dimensions are interrelated in the sense that they form sub-group of variables, which jointly determine some feature on higher level. Thus, complex objects and situations can be described by fuzzy signatures. We use cooperating autonomous mobile robots to solve some logistic problems.
