Abstract

This paper presents a hierarchical grey-fuzzy motion decision-making (HGFMD) algorithm, which is capable of integrating multiple sequential data for decision making and for the design of the control kernel of the target tracking system. The algorithm combines multiple grey prediction modules, each of which can estimate a suitable model from sequential sensory information for approximating the observed dynamic system for future-trend prediction and for decision making through a multilayer fuzzy logic inference engine. We have designed the HGFMD controller for a target tracking system and implemented it in our autonomous mobile robot. The HGFMD is compared with the conventional fuzzy logic controller, multilayer fuzzy controller, and the original grey-fuzzy controller developed previously in various target-tracking experiments. We demonstrated the high reliability of the HGFMD controller and tracking system even when encountering the uncertain status of slow sensory response time and the nonlinear motion behaviors of the target
