DNA coding method and a mechanism of development for acquisition of fuzzy control rules

Abstract

The authors propose a new coding method based on biological DNA and a mechanism of development from the artificial DNA. We call this coding method a "DNA coding method". This method has redundancy and overlapping of genes. This paper applies this coding method to the acquisition of fuzzy rules. Selection of input variables and tuning of membership functions are described. Effective fuzzy rules for mobile robots are acquired through chasing and avoiding operations. The paper studies the effectiveness of the redundancy and overlapping of genes. The effectiveness of virus and enzyme operators into the artificial DNA is also considered.
