Within the field of multi-robot systems, multi-robot search is one area which is currently receiving a lot of research attention. One major challenge within this area is to design effective algorithms that allow a team of robots to work together to find th ...
We present a modified version of the Particle swarm Optimization algorithm in which we adjust the virtual swarm search by incorporating inter-agent dynamics native to multi-robot search scenarios. The neighborhood structure of PSO is modified to accurately ...
Seega is an ancient Egyptian two-phase board game that, in certain aspects, is more difficult than chess. The two-player game is played on either a 5 × 5, 7 × 7, or 9 × 9 board. In the first and more difficult phase of the game, players take turns placing one ...
The objective of industrial cell culture technology is to produce high value-added therapeutic proteins that are well suited for the treatment of infectious diseases, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Nowadays, an important focus is the reduction of the tim ...
Discrete optimization is a difficult task common to many different areas in modern research. This type of optimization refers to problems where solution elements can assume one of several discrete values. The most basic form of discrete optimization is bin ...
The electrical discharge machining process (EDM) was discovered in the 1950s, and was then used essentially to destroy unrecoverable damaged screws. Since then, huge progress has been achieved in making this process reliable and able to perform the most co ...
The presented paper deals with a constrained optimisation technique for the calibration of elasto-plastic model parameters in a rational and objective manner. The procedure consists in finding a set of model parameters which minimise the difference between ...
We explore using particle swarm optimization on problems with noisy performance evaluation, focusing on unsupervised robotic learning. We adapt a technique of overcoming noise used in genetic algorithms for use with particle swarm optimization, and evaluat ...
Seega is an ancient Egyptian two-stage board game that, in certain aspects, is more difficult than chess. The two-player game is most commonly played on a 7 × 7 board, but is also sometimes played on a 5 × 5 or 9 × 9 board. In the first and more difficult sta ...
