Neuroevolution, or evolving neural networks with evolution algorithms
such as genetic algorithms, is becoming one of the hottest areas in hybrid
systems research. One of the areas that become under research using
neuroevolutions is the controllers. In this paper, we shall present two
engineering controllers based on neuroevolutions techniques. One of the
controllers is used to monitor the temperature and humidity in an
industry. This controller is having a linear behavior. The second
controller is concerned with scheduling parts in queues in an industry.
The scheduling controller is having a nonlinear behavior. The results
obtained by the proposed controllers based on neuroevolution are compared
with results obtained by traditional methods such as neural networks with
backpropagation and ordinary simulation for the controller. The results
show that the neuroevolution approaches outperform the results obtained by
other methods.
