Abstract:
A control system for controlling performance of a machine used by a user, which machine is operable by causative signals, the performance of which machine is indicatable by indicative signals, said control system comprising:control modules programmed to output the causative signals when receiving pre-selected signals, wherein an input-output relationship of each control module is regulated by at least one control parameter; processing units programmed to output at least one control parameter to the respective control modules when receiving indicative signals from the machine, wherein the input-output relationship of each processing unit is regulated by coefficients; selection-signal generation units programmed to output selection signals when receiving interaction signals from the user and/or pre-set target values; and genetic algorithm units programmed to select fitted coefficients based on the selection signals when using as genes the coefficients from the respective processing units, wherein the selected fitted coefficients replace the coefficients used in the respective processing units to update the input-output relationships of the respective processing units, thereby updating the input-output relationships of the respective control modules.
