Features: This book introduces the basic concepts, working principles, technical methods, and applications of artificial intelligence and intelligent control. The book consists of 12 chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of artificial intelligence and intelligent control, including human cognitive processes, various cognitive views, the origins and development of artificial intelligence and intelligent control, their definitions, the characteristics and structure of intelligent control, especially the structural theory of intelligent control. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss the basic theories of artificial intelligence, where Chapter 2 covers knowledge representation methods and reasoning techniques in artificial intelligence, and Chapter 3 introduces the fundamental knowledge of computational intelligence, including neural computing, fuzzy computing, evolutionary computing, artificial life, particle swarm computing, and ant colony computing. Chapters 4 and 5 provide a detailed discussion of the main applications of artificial intelligence that are closely related to intelligent control, including expert systems and agents. Chapters 6 to 10 examine the working mechanisms, types, structures, design methods, control characteristics, and application examples of hierarchical control systems, expert control systems, fuzzy control systems, neural control systems, and learning control systems, respectively. Chapter 11 briefly introduces anthropomorphic control and evolutionary control. Chapter 12 explores the issues in artificial intelligence and intelligent control that require further research and looks ahead to the development direction of intelligent control and its relationship with related technologies. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate students in universities majoring in automation, electrical engineering and automation, mechatronics engineering, and electronic engineering, as well as a teaching reference for senior undergraduate students. It can also be used as a reference for science and technology workers engaged in research, development, and application of artificial intelligence, intelligent control, and intelligent systems.
