In this paper, we consider the problem of reducing the total travel distance of bipartite tournaments, by analyzing inter-league scheduling from the perspective of discrete optimization. This research has natural appl...

This paper proposes a behavior‐switching control strategy of an evolutionary robot based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA). This method is able not only to construct the reinforcement learning models for autonomous robots and evolutionary robot modules that control behaviors and reinforcement learning environments, and but also to perf...
