Application of Soft Computing Methods to Motion Control of Electrical Drives (SCMC 2015)

Introduction

Different industrial applications require advanced motion control techniques, which can be ensured by implementing smart control strategies, high precision sensing, and innovative actuators. In recent years, several trends have been developed in advanced motion control of electrical drives. The most important trend are  systems with lower energy consumption, fault-tolerance systems and high performance systems. This special session will provide an opportunity for researchers active in the field of advanced motion control and electrical drives to discuss current developments and future perspectives on  soft-computing-based control techniques. We will welcome papers relating to application of fuzzy control, neural networks, evolutionary computation, reinforcement learning and any nature-inspired approaches in motion and electrical drive control. The scope of the session is to bring together prominent researchers in the field of motion control and electrical drives, and to present their results to the audience of CybConf 2015.

List of topics

Applications of soft computing techniques such as fuzzy theory, neural networks, evolutionary computation, reinforcement learning, and any other nature-inspired approaches in motion control and electrical drive.
