Abstract

This work aims to apply the concepts associated with neural networks in the control of an autonomous robot system. The robot was tested in several arbitrary paths in order to verify the effectiveness of the neural control. The results show that the robot performed the tasks with success. Moreover, in the case of arbitrary paths the neural control outperforms other methodologies, such as fuzzy logic control.
