چکیده

This paper focuses on the study of genetic algorithms for evolving controllers for Micro Air Vehicles (small flying robots). Specifically, the effects of team size on the evolution of the robots are studied. The study of team sizes deals with finding an ideal number of robots to collectively perform the surveillance task of a given region. In addition, controllers for evolved robot teams are tested in teams of different sizes to determine if the results can be generalized. In addition, statistical analysis is performed to evaluate the evolved results.

Evolving control for distributed micro air vehicles

The general idea of distributed robotics (or multirobot systems) is that teams of robots, deployed to achieve a common goal, can outperform individual robots in terms of e ciency and quality and, in some cases, can perform tasks that a single robot cannot. Consider, for example, Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), each of which has an extremely small payload capacity. Though individual MAVs may have lim...

Role of Electric Vehicles Parking Lots and Storage Systems on the Penetration Rate of Distributed Generation and Network Reconfiguration

Introduction of new technologies such as energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and distributed generation improved the characteristics of networks. On other hand, using these components in distribution systems improves system performances such as power losses. One of effective methods for improving system characteristics is distribution network reconfiguration. In this study, in addition t...

A numerical study on the effects of hydrogen addition levels, wall thermal conductivity and inlet velocity on methane/air pre-mixed flame in a micro reactor

In this study, the effect of the levels of hydrogen addition to methane-air premixed flame in a micro-stepped reactor has been studied numerically. In addition, the effects of mixture velocity and walls’ thermal conductivity (Kw) on the flame’s location, temperature, and species distribution in a micro reactor were calculated using a 2D numerical laminar steady code. The results showed that an ...
