Adaptive Fuzzy Inference Decision Strategy for Service Robots Tidying Up Objects

Tidying up objects poses a complex challenge for service robots, particularly when it involves scheduling operations that require real-time action for achieving optimal results. This paper presents a decision system aimed at selecting priority locations to address the problem of robots searching for miscellaneous items in indoor environments. Initially, three datasets with varying complexities are generated using real environmental data, and the environmental information is integrated into feature matrices. Subsequently, the rule base of the fuzzy inference system is trained and optimized using an equilibrium optimizer, and its performance is compared with other commonly used algorithms. The feature matrices and the optimized rule base are then incorporated into the fuzzy inference system, leveraging the traveling salesman problem to determine the optimal sequence for visiting locations. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are validated through physical implementation tests using analog data. Finally, the system is applied and evaluated in real-world scenarios to validate its effectiveness. The video of experiment is available at
