This talk will provide the background of the learning, adaption and evolution me thods using the Fuzzy Logic, Neural Network and Evolutionary Computation method for the intelligent robotic systems. In particular, the hybrid system obtained by those methods will be explained clearly, including the advanced architecture of the system, so that the robotic system can be made more intelligent in comparison with the conventional methods. This methodology can be applied to many industrial sectors.

The robotic system includes the fields of the motion control, trajectory control, behavior control, hierarchical system control, teleoperation, distributed robotic system and human-robot interface. This tutorial will show how the performance can be improved by employing these proposed methods. Some of the examples will be shown in the videos.
