The work in this paper refines the job-shop scheduling problem using fuzzy times due to uncertainties. It introduces an evaluation method using fuzzy relative entropy. The problem is tackled with a hybrid adaptive differential evolution (HADE) algorithm, which proves superior to other algorithms like ant colony optimization.

In this webinar, a comprehensive view of interaction force controls is provided: the type of desired interactions of mechatronic systems with humans/environments, the type of interaction force sensing as well as the design methodologies of force controllers. The difficulty of the interaction force control is discussed theoretically, and the controller designs to attack this problem are discussed.
