Described is a system for diagnosis and prognosis of a component. The system is configured to receive a signal from a component. The signal is representative of a current health observation of the component. The system also computes a present likelihood of the component failure based on the signal. Additionally, the system computes a future likelihood of failure of the component for a given future mission. Through diagnosis, a user can determine the present health of the component, and based on the present health and future mission, determine whether or not the component will fail in the future mission.

Described is a system for temporal prediction. The system includes an extraction module, a mapping module, and a prediction module. The extraction module is configured to receive X(1), . . . X(n) historical samples of a time series and utilize a genetic algorithm to extract deterministic features in the time series. The mapping module is configured to receive the deterministic features and utilize a learning algorithm to map the deterministic features to a predicted {circumflex over (x)}(n+1) sample of the time series. Finally, the prediction module is configured to utilize a cascaded computing structure having k levels of prediction to generate a predicted {circumflex over (x)}(n+k) sample. The predicted {circumflex over (x)}(n+k) sample is a final temporal prediction for k future samples.

A boosting and pruning system and method for utilizing a plurality of neural networks, preferably those based on adaptive resonance theory (ART), in order to increase pattern classification accuracy is presented. The method utilizes a plurality of N randomly ordered copies of the input data, which is passed to a plurality of sets of booster networks. Each of the plurality of N randomly ordered copies of the input data is divided into a plurality of portions, preferably with an equal allocation of the data corresponding to each class for which recognition is desired. The plurality of portions is used to train the set of booster networks. The rules generated by the set of booster networks are then pruned in an intra-booster pruning step, which uses a pair-wise Fuzzy AND operation to determine rule overlap and to eliminate rules which are sufficiently similar. This process results in a set of intra-booster pruned booster networks. A similar pruning process is applied in an inter-booster pruning process, which eliminates rules from the intra-booster pruned networks with sufficient overlap. The final, derivative booster network captures the essence of the plurality of sets of booster networks and provides for higher classification accuracy than available using a single network.

A synaptic time-multiplexed (STM) neuromorphic network includes a neural fabric that includes nodes and switches to define inter-nodal connections between selected nodes of the neural fabric. The STM neuromorphic network further includes a neuromorphic controller to form subsets of a set of the inter-nodal connections representing a fully connected neural network. Each subset is formed during a different time slot of a plurality of time slots of a time multiplexing cycle of the STM neuromorphic network. In combination, the inter-nodal connection subsets implement the fully connected neural network. A method of synaptic time multiplexing a neuromorphic network includes providing the neural fabric and forming the subsets of the set of inter-nodal connections.

A method and system for characterizing, detecting, and predicting or forecasting multiple target events from a past history of these events includes compressing temporal data streams into self-organizing map (SOM) clusters, and determining trajectories of the temporal streams via the clusters to predict the multiple target events. The system includes an evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) module for processing the temporal data streams, which are obtained from a plurality of heterogeneous domains; a SOM module for characterizing the temporal data streams into self-organizing map clusters; and a target event prediction (TEP) module for generating prediction models of the map clusters. The SOM module employs a vector quantization method that places a set of vectors on a low-dimensional grid in an ordered fashion. The prediction models each include trajectories of the temporal data streams, and the system predicts the multiple target events using the trajectories.

A method for adaptive obstacle avoidance for articulated redundant robots is disclosed. The method comprises acts of calculating an obstacle avoidance vector for each of a set of limbs in a robot arm, and then applying the obstacle avoidance vector to constrain the inverse model in a robot controller. The obstacle avoidance vector incorporates factors including: (1) a distance and direction of each of a set of obstacles to the limb; and (2) when the limb is part of a kinematic chain of limbs, contributions from the obstacle avoidance vectors of all peripheral limbs in the kinematic chain. The method of the present invention was designed for use with the DIRECT model robot controller, but the method is generally applicable to any of a variety of robot controllers known in the art.

The present invention relates to a method for optimizing the design of a shape morphing structure using a genetic algorithm. The method includes defining design parameters of a surface having variable properties into a chromosome. The variable properties of the chromosome are the actual properties of the chromosome. The chromosome has a total of Nmax genes, where each gene corresponds to a variable property element in the surface. Additionally, each gene has n design parameters, wherein the design parameters are incremental changes to the actual properties of the chromosome. A genetic algorithm is employed to optimize the genes until a fitness level for at least one chromosome has been exceeded. When the fitness value for any chromosome in the population is above a predetermined threshold, then the design process is terminated and the final design solution[s] are the design parameters of the chromosome[s] that exceed the predetermined threshold value.
