%T Tools of Computational Intelligence: Theory and Applications
%X The tutorial focuses on tools of computational intelligence; namely 	fuzzy logic, neural networks and neuro-fuzzy systems, as promising 	alternatives to compensate for the modeling and parametric uncertainties, 	which are often associated with highly nonlinear systems. 	 	Such systems are usually characterized by complex ill-defined dynamics 	for which a precise mathematical model is either impossible or prohibitively 	expensive to achieve. Thus, controlling such systems with conventional 	control methods under the assumption of a good understanding of their 	dynamics and operating environments may lead to an unsatisfactory 	performance and even to instability in some cases. 	 	Although the techniques covered in the tutorial are applicable to 	virtually any system with the aforementioned properties, examples 	are mainly drawn from the field of robotics
