Abstract This paper presents the application of a hybrid controller to the optimization of the movement of a mobile robot. Through hybrid controller processes, the optimal angle and velocity of a robot moving in a work space was determined. More effective movement resulted form these hybrid controller processes. The hybrid controller was able to choose a better position according to the circumstances encountered. The hybrid controller that is proposed includes a support vector machine and a fuzzy logic controller.

Introduction(3/3) Section 2 describes the identification of the target position at the next sampling time using the GPC. Section 3, the technique of the SVM is employed to determine the optimal angle of the robots movement. Section 4 describes the determination of the optimal velocity of the robot using a hybrid controller that combines the SVM and GPC. Section 5, the results of two experiments performed are presented. One of the experiments is a simulation using a FIRA five-versus-five simulation platform, whereas the other uses MATLAB. Finally, conclusions are drawn Section 6.

Using an SVM to improve the angle followed by the mobile robot to reach the target (1/5) For a mobile robot like the one illustrated in Fig. 6, choosing a path is very important. We designed an SVM to help our robot reach the target point in the shortest time. Fig. 6. Relationship between d and

Using an SVM to improve the angle followed by the mobile robot to reach the target (2/5) The SVM technique stems from attempts to identify the optimal classification of a hyperplane under conditions of linear division. The optimal hyperplane refers to the hyperplane which can correctly distinguish samples of two categories with a maximum margin. The SVM is shown in Fig. 7. Fig. 7. Support vector machine.

In order to find the division of the hyper plane, we had to resolve the question of quadratic optimization. The constraints were We also had to determine the minimum value of, because the equation above is quadratic with a linear constraint. This is a typical quadratic optimization problem. So, we used the Lagrange multiplier to resolve the question of quadratic optimization with linear constraints. We obtained

Conclusions In our mobile robot, the SVM and the hybrid controller were applied for successful determination its optimal path and velocity. Furthermore, the GPC was applied to predict the next target position. In the future, the computational time required by our SVM and hybrid controller will be reduced to increase the speed of the response of the mobile robot. The hybrid controller and the GPC will also be used in other systems to achieve optimization.
