In many practical applications of robot path planning, finding the shortest is critical, while response time often overlooked but important. To address problems search node divergence and long calculation in A* routing algorithm large scenario, this paper presents a novel center constraint weighted (CCWA*). The heuristic function modified to give different dynamic weights nodes positions, are c...

Models of maintenance problems must handle complex assumptions, allowing, for example, the condition some assets to be rated directly using multiple states while in others rating is inferred from that components which they are assembled. The overall inferred, informs decisions, requires evidential reasoning under uncertainty. This paper uses Bayesian networks address these challenges with real ...

Autonomous multi-robot optical inspection systems are increasingly applied for obtaining inline measurements in process monitoring and quality control. Numerous methods path planning robotic coordination have been developed static dynamic environments to different fields. However, these approaches may not work the autonomous system due fast computation requirements of optimization, unique chara...

In this paper, Self-Organizing Map (SOM) for the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP) with minmax objective is applied to the robotic problem of multigoal path planning in the polygonal domain. The main difficulty of such SOM deployment is determination of collision-free paths among obstacles that is required to evaluate the neuron-city distances in the winner selection phase of unsupervi...

In recent years, techniques that combine different manufacturing processes such as additive and subtractive technologies are gaining significant attention. This is due to their ability to capitalise on consolidated advantages of combining these processes. However, there are limited process planning methods available to effectively synthesise additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies. ...
