Survey of Intelligent Control Techniques for Humanoid Robots

This paper focusses on the application of intelligent control techniques (neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms) and their hybrid forms (neuro-fuzzy networks, neuro-genetic and fuzzy-genetic algorithms) in the area of humanoid robotic systems. It represents an attempt to cover the basic principles and concepts of intelligent control in humanoid robotics, with an outline of a number of recent algorithms used in advanced control of humanoid robots. Overall, this survey covers a broad selection of examples that will serve to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of the application of intelligent control techniques.
