        INTRODUCTION TO NEURAL NETWORKS


        1.1. Application of artificial intelligence in robotics


      Nowadays, the automatic control of unmanned mobile objects is more efficient than the remote control. Autopilot is more accurate and faster to make decisions than the driver. Autopilot makes no mistakes (Fig 1.1) [1-3].


Fig 1.1. Autopilots vs remote control

       Therefore, the mainstream of robotics is to increase the number of autonomously performed operations.
       However, there are hard problems for an automatic control (Fig 1.1-1.2). They are driving a traffic, estimation, criteria determination, making a decision under uncertain environments, etc. Characteristic of the hard problems are a dynamical environment, uncertainties, singularities, conflicting criteria, large number of solutions, incorrect statement [4-7].

conflicting criteria

Fig. 1.2. Hard problems

        Intelligent systems are used to solve hard problems.
        In robotics, an intelligent system is a system that solves the problem of goal-setting, planning and control in a dynamical uncertain environment without the participation of the operator.


        1.2.  Structure of an intelligent control system of robot

       Artificial intelligence solves the following problems (Fig 1.3).
     1.        The global planning problems are criteria determination, global path planning.
     2.        The local planning problems are obstacle avoiding, uncertainty of the environment elimination, prediction of environment.
     3.        The motion control problems are adaptation to model of robot, adaptation to disturbances.

         1.3. The artificial intelligence technologies taxonomy

       The artificial intelligence approaches are based on different technologies.
       1.       An expert knowledge base emulates the experience of the experts in the subject area. Examples are diagnostic systems in medicine and engineering. Advantage of an expert knowledge base is unlimited numbers of an expert. Disadvantage is difficulty of the expert coping. Expert knowledge bases are used as recommendation systems.
       2.       Fuzzy logic emulates a human cognitive function (learning, thinking, reasoning, and adaptation) by uncertain sets. Fuzzy logic uses uncertain notations like “big velocity”, “low temperature”, etc. The main trait of fuzzy logic is uncertain boundaries between fuzzy sets. Fuzzy logic is applied for a decision-making problem.

1.5. Mathematical model of a biological neuron

       3.        Evolutionary algorithms emulates the mechanisms of natural selection. The most known evolutionary algorithm is a genetic algorithm. Evolutionary algorithms are applied for a global search of the optimal solutions instead of the brute-force searching.
       4.        Bio-inspired algorithms emulates individual and cooperative behavior of living nature. Well known bio-inspired algorithms are ant algorithms, pigeon algorithms, and bee algorithms.
       5.        Artificial Neural Network is a mathematical model of a human brain. Neural networks are used as learning systems.


        1.4. Morphology of a biological neuron


        The intellectual functions of the brain make humans adaptive for handling

complex, uncertain, and time-varying environments. The human brain consists of 10¹⁰ - 10¹¹ biological neurons. A schematic diagram of a biological neuron is shown in figure 1.4.

Fig. 1.4. A schematic diagram of a biological neuron

        A biological neuron receives about 10 000 inputs (dendrites), processes the inputs, and generates single output. The output (axon) is connecting with about 10 000 dendrites of other biological neurons. Synapses are connections of dendrites of the neuron and axons of other neurons. The input signals are impulses. Dendrites transmit the input impulses to soma. This transmission can be either excitatory or inhibitory. Soma aggregates signals from dendrites and generates output impulses to axon.


        1.5. Mathematical model of a biological neuron

      A mathematical representation of a biological neuron is shown in figure 1.5.
      The inputs of the neuron are signals xi...Xn from other neurons, and threshold xo. Synaptic operation assigns a weight wi^Wn to each input xi.. .Xn

1.Lecture. Introduction to neural networks

according to the past experience. Thus, weights wi^wn are memory of the neuron.

Fig. 1.5. A mathematical representation of a biological neuron
        Somatic operation provides aggregation, thresholding, and nonlinear activation. Usually aggregation is a sum operation. Threshold adjusts a sensitivity of the neuron to the level of aggregated signal. Nonlinear activation is nonlinear static function with saturation.


        1.6. A neural model for a threshold logic


       The first mathematical model of a neuron was proposed by McCulloch and Pitts (i943). This model is a threshold logic element. The element consists of n logic inputs Xi, i=1,2,.. ,,n, and one logic output y.
       Output y is modeled as follows:

n

У =

1.!/^
i=l

WiXt > w₀.

WiXt < Wo

       The schematic representation of a threshold logic element is shown in figure 1.6.
       A threshold logic element executes logic operations AND, OR, NOT. Figure 1.7 shows these operations.
