Research Letters welcomes papers from staff and graduate students at Massey University in the areas of: Computer Science, Information Science, Mathematics, Statistics and the Physical and Engineering Sciences. Research letters is a preprint series that accepts articles of completed research work, technical reports, or preliminary results from ongoing research. After editing, articles are published online and can be referenced, or handed out at conferences. Copyright remains with the authors and the articles can be used as preprints to academic journal publications or handed out at conferences.

    A reconfigurable hybrid intelligent system for robot navigation
    (Massey University, 2011) Reyes, N.H.; Barczak, A.L.C.; Fatahillah; Susnjak, T.
    Soft computing has come of age to o er us a wide array of powerful and e cient algorithms that independently matured and in uenced our approach to solving problems in robotics, search and optimisation. The steady progress of technology, however, induced a ux of new real-world applications that demand for more robust and adaptive computational paradigms, tailored speci cally for the problem domain. This gave rise to hybrid intelligent systems, and to name a few of the successful ones, we have the integration of fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and neural networks. As noted in the literature, they are signi cantly more powerful than individual algorithms, and therefore have been the subject of research activities in the past decades. There are problems, however, that have not succumbed to traditional hybridisation approaches, pushing the limits of current intelligent systems design, questioning their solutions of a guarantee of optimality, real-time execution and self-calibration. This work presents an improved hybrid solution to the problem of integrated dynamic target pursuit and obstacle avoidance, comprising of a cascade of fuzzy logic systems, genetic algorithm, the A* search algorithm and the Voronoi diagram generation algorithm.

    Genetic algorithms for auto-tuning mobile robot motion control
    (Massey University, 2002) Messom, Chris
    This paper discusses a genetic algorithm (GA) based method for automatically tuning mobile robot motion controllers. The genetic algorithm evolves a controller that is optimised for a given performance measure. Genetic algorithms require a mapping from the genetic code to an implementation. This translation between the chromosome and the implementation allows the use of standard GA libraries, however the assumption constrains the types of problems that can be solved.
