Call For Tutorial

Proposal Guideline & Requirement

ICCAR 2020 proposals for tutorials within the technical scope of the conference. The short course or tutorial should aim to give a comprehensive overview of a specific topics related to Control, Automation and Robotics. A good tutorial should be educational rather than just a cursory survey of techniques. The topic should be of sufficient relevance and importance to attract significant number of participation.

Tutorial proposals should include the following information:

• Proposed title;
• Proposers' names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio sketches;
• Preference for 1 hour or 2 hours event;
• Course description with list of topics to be covered, along with a brief outline and important details;
• Expected target audience, in terms of both composition and estimated number of attendees.

Please send your proposal to iccarconf@163.com in PDF format. Tutorial is open for proposal before February 29th, 2020.

Tutorial

"Deep Learning of Dynamic Neural and Fuzzy-Neural Networks for Modeling and Intelligent Control of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems"

Time Slot: 13:00-15:00

Dynamic neural networks are a special type of networks having feedback connections which allow them to exhibit a dynamic behavior for processing sequential and time-varying patterns. They have been applied to solve diverse real-world problems involving temporal and dynamic characteristics. The tutorial presents the designing and training of dynamic neural networks: Back Propagation Through Time BPTT and Dynamic Back Propagation DBP algorithms are derived and used to train dynamic neural networks in supervised or reinforcement learning schemes. Dynamic neural networks are used for the modeling and control of dynamic systems. Static and dynamic feedback controllers are trained considering the internal dynamics of the system, as well as fuzzy-neural networks are designed considering human knowledge and experience. The concept of incremental learning is applied for assuring the successful training of neural networks from simple to complex tasks. Neural networks are applied for the autonomous control of car-like and trailer-type mobile robots.
