Abstract

In order to stabilize the inherent unstable system like the inverted pendulum on a cart, severe judgment of situation is required. Accordingly, it can be expected that human operators exhibit complex behavior intermittently. This paper investigated the identification of the individual difference of human operator's behavior from time series data by using fuzzy inference and acquired individual skill of human operator. It also investigated the chaotic behavior of human operator and the formation of a complex system in the learning process of human operators with objects difficult to control. The operators in the experiment are skilled to some extent in stabilizing the inverted pendulum by training, and the data of ten trials per person were successively taken for an analysis, where the waveforms of pendulum angle and cart displacement were recorded. The maximum Lyapunov exponents were estimated from experimental time series data against embedding dimensions. It was found that the rules identified for a fuzzy controller from time series data of each operator showed well the human-generated decision-making characteristics with the chaos and the large amount of disorder and the individual difference of chaotic and complex human operation can be identified with fuzzy inference.
