From the various perspectives of machine learning (ML) and the multiple models used in this discipline, there is an approach aimed at training models for the early detection (ED) of anomalies. The early detection of anomalies is crucial in multiple areas of knowledge since identifying and classifying them allows for early decision making and provides a better response to mitigate the negative effects caused by late detection in any system. This article presents a literature review to examine which machine learning models (MLMs) operate with a focus on ED in a multidisciplinary manner and, specifically, how these models work in the field of fraud detection. A variety of models were found, including Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), decision trees (DTs), Random Forests (RFs), naive Bayesian classifier (NB), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNNs), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), among others. It was identified that MLMs operate as isolated models, categorized in this article as Single Base Models (SBMs) and Stacking Ensemble Models (SEMs). It was identified that MLMs for ED in multiple areas under SBMs’ and SEMs’ implementation achieved accuracies greater than 80% and 90%, respectively. In fraud detection, accuracies greater than 90% were reported by the authors. The article concludes that MLMs for ED in multiple applications, including fraud, offer a viable way to identify and classify anomalies robustly, with a high degree of accuracy and precision. MLMs for ED in fraud are useful as they can quickly process large amounts of data to detect and classify suspicious transactions or activities, helping to prevent financial losses.

This paper presents a behavior fuzzy coordination scheme for a mobile robot platform. The control architecture is composed of three basic behaviors: obstacle avoidance, left wall following and left wall following. The mechanism of fusion behavior was performed on a weighting system that acquires information from the environment and calculates fuzzy dynamic weighting factors adjusted to the region in which the robot travels. These factors influence the output of each behavior giving strength to the most appropriate action according to the current situation of the environment. Subsequently, the weighted outputs of each behavior are normalized by the command fusion, achieving a cooperative solution to meeting the robot navigation target.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a behavior-based control scheme. The construction of the set of behaviors is based on the use of fuzzy logic as a means for materializing the designer’s knowledge into the behaviors. The behavior set was established by left and right wall following and obstacle avoidance. These three behaviors were programmed and coordinated by a subsumption architecture or behavioral inhibition. Behavior simulations and coordination scheme design were tested by means of real experiments using a mobile robotic platform. Finally, the results are presented, where the control actions are executed by the robotic system achieving a secure navigation.
