Abstract

Growing interests in nature-inspired computing and bio-inspired optimization techniques have led to powerful tools for solving learning problems and analyzing large datasets. Several methods have been utilized to create superior performance-based optimization algorithms. However, certain applications, like nonlinear real-time, are difficult to explain using accurate mathematical models. Such large-scale combination and highly nonlinear modeling problems are solved by usage of soft computing techniques. So, in this paper, the researchers have tried to incorporate one of the most advanced plant algorithms known as Venus Flytrap Plant algorithm(VFO) along with soft-computing techniques and, to be specific, the ANFIS inverse model-Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System for controlling the real-time temperature of a microwave cavity that heats oil. The MATLAB was integrated successfully with the LabVIEW platform. Wide ranges of input and output variables were experimented with. Problems were encountered due to heating system conditions like reflected power, variations in oil temperature, and oil inlet absorption and cavity temperatures affecting the oil temperature, besides the temperature’s effect on viscosity. The LabVIEW design followed and the results figure in the performance of the VFO- Inverse ANFIS controller.
