AN EFFICIENT OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURE BASED ON CUCKOO SEARCH ALGORITHM FOR PRACTICAL DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES

Different kinds of meta-heuristic algorithms have been recently utilized to overcome the complex nature of optimum design of structures. In this paper, an integrated optimization procedure with the objective of minimizing the self-weight of real size structures is simply performed interfacing SAP2000 and MATLAB® softwares in the form of parallel computing. The meta-heuristic algorithm chosen he...

An Automatic Procedure for Force Controller Design

| In this paper the problem of designing a force controller for industrial robots with a positional interface is addressed. An automatic design procedure to compute the structure and the parameters of the controller is devised, to provide a useful tool for rapid and robust setup of force control at industrial level. The synthesis of the force controller simply requires technology parameters pro...
