چکیده

In a heterogeneous multi-robot team, a task solution is highly dependent on the available collection of robots and their sensing and computational capabilities. We are interested in the problem of automatic synthesis of task solutions. Previous solutions to this problem include a heuristic search on the whole solution space or using an offline genetic algorithm for generating schema chunks and then search for solutions based on the chunks. In this paper, we explore the practicability of an alternative search algorithm, an evolutionary based search algorithm, to configure complete team solutions offline. Through experiments, we show that our genetic algorithm can generate complete solutions with similar qualities for a relatively small team size.

An Evolutionary Method for Improving the Reliability of Safetycritical Robots against Soft Errors

Nowadays, Robots account for most part of our lives in such a way that it is impossible for usto do many of affairs without them. Increasingly, the application of robots is developing fastand their functions become more sensitive and complex. One of the important requirements ofRobot use is a reliable software operation. For enhancement of reliability, it is a necessity todesign the fault toler...

Simultaneous versus incremental learning of multiple skills by modular robots

This paper is concerned with the problem of learning multiple skills by modular robots. The main question we address is whether it is better to learn multiple skills simultaneously (all-at-once) or incrementally (oneby-one). We conduct an experimental study with modular robots of various morphologies that need to acquire three different but correlated skills, efficient locomotion, navigation to...

A NOVEL FUZZY MULTI-OBJECTIVE ENHANCED TIME EVOLUTIONARY OPTIMIZATION FOR SPACE STRUCTURES

This research presents a novel design approach to achieve an optimal structure established upon multiple objective functions by simultaneous utilization of the Enhanced Time Evolutionary Optimization method and Fuzzy Logic (FLETEO). For this purpose, at first, modeling of the structure design problem in this space is performed using fuzzy logic concepts. Thus, a new problem creates with functio...

Optimal Trajectory of Flexible Manipulator with Maximum Load Carrying Capacity

In this paper, a new formulation along with numerical solution for the problem of finding a point-to-point trajectory with maximum load carrying capacities for flexible manipulators is proposed. For rigid manipulators, the major limiting factor in determining the Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) is the joint actuator capacity. The flexibility exhibited by light weight robots or by robots o...

Analysis of Multi-Robots Transportation with Multi-objective PSO Algorithm in an Artificial Capital Market

In this paper, to analyze the transport of autonomous robots, an artificial Capital market is used. Capital market is considered as a pier which loading and unloading of cargo is done. Autonomous robots load and unload from the ship to the warehouse wharf or vice versa. All the robots have the ability of transporting the loads, but depending on loads and the location of unloading (or loading) a...
