Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are assumed to be a promising model of automatic emergency tasks in dynamic marine ecosystems. But, the real-time communication efficacy betwixt UAVs and base platforms is developing serious challenge. The compact-sized powerful flying robots can wirelessly controlled accomplish end with without human involvement. still face severe challenges that limit dream com...

Robot swarms are large-scale multirobot systems with decentralized control which means that each robot acts based only on local perception and on local coordination with neighboring robots. The decentralized approach to control confers number of potential benefits. In particular, inherent scalability and robustness are often highlighted as key distinguishing features of robot swarms compared wi...

Interactions between individuals and the structure of their environment play a crucial role in shaping self-organized collective behaviors. Recent studies have shown that ants crossing asymmetrical bifurcations in a network of galleries tend to follow the branch that deviates the least from their incoming direction. At the collective level, the combination of this tendency and the pheromone-bas...

In swarm robotics, large groups of relatively simple robots cooperate so that they can perform tasks that go beyond their individual capabilities [1], [2]. The interactions among the robots are based on simple behavioral rules that exploit only local information. The robots in a swarm have neither global knowledge, nor a central controller. Therefore, decisions in the swarm have to be taken in ...

Scheduling is an important subject of production and operations management area. In flow-shop scheduling, the objective is to obtain a sequence of jobs which when processed in a fixed order of machines, will optimize some well defined criteria. The concept of transportation time is very important in scheduling. Transportation can be done by robots. In situations that robots are used to transpor...

This research lays down a mathematical framework within which a system of interacting entities, such as a swarm robotic system, operating in a dynamic and uncertain environment can be analyzed for its properties such as stability, robustness, and emergent behavior. The framework, based upon stochastic differential equations and the Fokker-Planck formalism, allows the calculation of transient an...

Dear Editor, The emergence of diseases due to drug resistance, genetic mutations, and transmission has made the future of infectious diseases complicated and vague. Currently, the prevalence of coronavirus, with high infectivity and significant lethality, has made infection control among nurses and patient one of the main goals of the World Health Organization [1]. At present, the prevention ...

The effects of temperature on ectotherm growth have been well documented. How temperature affects foraging behavior is less well explored, and has not been studied in larval mosquitoes. We hypothesized that temperature changes foraging behavior in the aquatic larval phase of the mosquito, Aedes aegypti L. Based on empirical results in other systems, we predicted that foraging effort would incre...
