DNA Coded GA: Rule Base Optimization of FLC for Mobile Robot

Abstract

In recent years, the new concept of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) computing has drawn intensive research interests. The idea of DNA computing, proposed by Leonard Adleman (Leonard 1994) in 1994, is to express a problem in the form of DNA molecules and to realize the computation by operating on those DNA molecules. There are two major advantages of DNA computing: the great parallel computation power and the mega information storage ability. DNA computing is quick, as it can perform many calculations simultaneously or in parallel (Boneh et al 1995; Winfree 1995). Some of the very complex problems which are hard even for supercomputers can be solved by DNA computing (Lipton 1995; Boneh et al 1995). DNA computing also provides a huge storage media since it stores the information in DNA molecules (Baum 1995). DNA computing is such a novel idea that its future applications still remain unknown. However, it seems that DNA computing will make great changes in the fields of computer science, biology, chemistry and medicine (Leonard 1996; Beaver 1995).
