ABOUT THE COURSE:

This course will start with a brief introduction

to fuzzy sets. Thedifferences between fuzzy
sets and crisp sets will be identified.
Variousterms used in the fuzzy sets and the
grammar of fuzzy sets will bediscussed, in
detail, with the help of some numerical
examples. Theworking principles of two
most popular applications of fuzzy sets,
namelyfuzzy reasoning and fuzzy clustering
will be explained, and numericalexamples
will be solved. Fundamentals of neural Join
networks and variouslearning methods will
then be discussed. The principles of multi-
layerfeed forward neural network, radial
basis function network, self-organizing map,
counter-propagation neural network,
recurrent neuralnetwork, deep learning
neural network will be explained with
appropriatenumerical examples. The
method of evolving optimized fuzzy
reasoningtools, neural networks will be
discussed with the help of some
numericalexamples. Two popular neuro-
fuzzy systems will be explained
andnumerical examples will be solved. A
summary of the course will begiven at the
end.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

I received BE (Hons.) and M. Tech. from REC (NIT) Durgapur,

India, in 1988 and1994, respectively. I obtained my Ph.D. from IIT
Kanpur, India in 2000. Ireceived University Gold Medal, A.M. Das
Memorial Medal, Institution ofEngineers’ (I) Medal, and others. I
completed my post-doctoral studies in Japanand then, in Germany
under the Alexander von Humboldt FellowshipProgramme. I am
working now as a Professor (HAG scale) of IIT Kharagpur,India.
My research areas include robotics, soft computing and
manufacturingscience. I have published more than 240 papers,
mostly in various internationaljournals. I have written a textbook on
“Soft Computing”, co-authored another textbook on “Analytical
Engineering Mechanics”, edited a book on “Intelligentand
Autonomous Systems”, co-authored reference books on “Modeling
andAnalysis of Six-legged Robots”, “Modeling and Simulations of
Robotic SystemsUsing Soft Computing” and “Modeling and
Analysis of Laser Metal FormingProcesses by Finite Element and
Soft Computing Methods”. Recently, I havepublished another
textbook named “Fundamentals of Robotics”. My textbookon “Soft
Computing” had been translated into Chinese language in 2009. I
haveguided 18 Ph.D.s. I am in editorial board of 14 International
Journals. I havebeen elected as FIE, MASME and SMIEEE. I have
completed a few sponsored(funded by DST, DAE, MHRD) and
consultancy projects.
