The main topics addressed are expert control, fuzzy logic control, adaptive fuzzy control, neural network control, adaptive neural control and
intelligent optimization algorithms, providing several engineering application examples for each method.LIU Jinkun received his BS, MS and PhD degrees from Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, in 1989, 1994 and 1997, respectively. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Zhejiang University from 1997 to 1999, and is currently a professor at Beihang University, China. He has published more than 100 research papers and eight books. His research interests include intelligent control and sliding mode control; partial differential equation (PDE) modeling and boundary control and application areas in motion control, such as flight control and robotic control, especially for under-actuated systems.
