چکیده

We propose and evaluate a novel approach called Online Distributed NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (odNEAT). odNEAT is a completely distributed evolutionary algorithm for online learning in groups of embodied agents such as robots. While previous approaches to online distributed evolution of neural controllers have been limited to the optimisation of weights, odNEAT evolves both weights and network topology. We demonstrate odNEAT through a series of simulation-based experiments in which a group of e-puck-like robots must perform an aggregation task. Our results show that robots are capable of evolving effective aggregation strategies and that sustainable behaviours evolve quickly. We show that odNEAT approximates the performance of rtNEAT, a similar but centralised method. We also analyse the contribution of each algorithmic component on the performance through a series of ablation studies.

Use of Artificial Neural Networks to Examine Parameters Affecting the Immobilization of Streptokinase in Chitosan

Streptokinase is a potent fibrinolytic agent which is widely used in treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) and acute myocardial infarction (MI). Major limitation of this enzyme is its short biological half-life in the blood stream. Our previous report showed that complexing streptokinase with chitosan could be a solution to overcome this limitation. The aim of this re...

A Relationship between the Youth Life Style and Attitude to Artificial Drugs Consumption in Shirvan

This paper tries to study the relationship between the youth life style and attitude to artificial drugs consumption in Shirvan. The question: Is there any relationship between the youth life style and their drugs consumption? This research was done in the winter of 2011 and out of 53084 people 382 one were chosen among the youth aged 15 to 29 in Shirvan through cluster sampling. The Alpha Cron...

Making Right(s) Decision: Artificial life and Rights Reconsidered

With the proliferation of robotics in industry, education and entertainment, artificial intelligent robots challenge the way we think about relationships between humans and machines. This study examines critical issues in artificial life and rights, which are an emergent but, as yet, little understood area of educational inquiry through one of the most popular video game, The Sims. Since The Si...
