Biological systems are investigated such as the nervous system and the spinal marrow for the development of robots manipulation techniques. The members of this group include to Jose Luis Contreras Vidal, Nora Elsa Aguirre , and Manuel Valenzuela . The projects of research of Dr. Contreras financed by American and European agencies are part of this group. This group began in 1991. There is research on artificial intelligence techniques such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, expert systems in real time, fuzzy logic systems and its application to automatic control of nonlinear and chaotic systems.
Fuzzy logic is a generalization of the traditional logic of two values.
Using fuzzy logic it is possible to mathematically manipulate concepts defined with uncertainty or vaguely. In fuzzy logic sets are defined by means of membership functions, that represent the form in which humans handle uncertainty. One of the most successful applications of fuzzy logic has been the fuzzy control. A fuzzy controller represents relations between continuous variables using fuzzy rules . In this group participate Rogelio Soto and Graciano Dieck .
