In this work we investigate spatial collective decision-making in a swarm of microrobots, inspired by the thermotactic aggregation behavior of honeybees. The sensing and navigation capabilities of these robots are intentionally limited; no digital sensor data processing and no direct communication are allowed. In this way, we can approximate the features of smaller mesoscopic-scale systems and ...

This paper presents a demonstration of solving combined economic and emission dispatch problems by using one of swarm intelligences, called particle swarm optimization. The objective of the combined problem can be expressed by taking both the total production cost and total emission into account with required constraints. Among potential intelligent search methods, particle swarm optimization i...

dynamic economic load dispatch is one of the most important roles of power generation’s operation and control. it determines the optimal controls of production of generator units with predicted load demand over a certain period of time. economic dispatch at minimum production cost is one of the most important subjects in the power network’s operation, which is a complicated nonlinear constraine...

Swarm Intelligence is an artificial intelligence discipline which is concerned with the design of intelligent multi-agent systems by taking inspiration from the collective behaviours of social insects and other animal societies. They are characterized by a decentralized way of working that mimics the behaviour of the swarm. Swarm Intelligence is a successful paradigm for the algorithm with comp...

Swarm intelligent systems, in which the paths to problem solving emerge as the result of interactions between simple autonomous components (agents or ants) and between them and their environment, appear very promising to develop robust and flexible software application. However, the variety of swarm-based approaches that have been proposed so far still lacks a common modeling and engineering me...

The collective motion of biological species has robust and flexible characteristics. Since the individual group interacts with other neighbors asymmetrically, which means pairwise interaction presents asymmetrical characteristics during motion, building model is still full challenges. Based on deep learning (DL) technology, experimental data Hemigrammus rhodostomus fish are analyzed to build an...

Image compression is one of the most important and successful applications of the wavelet transform. Images will have huge amount of information which require more storage space, and high transmission bandwidths and more transmission time. So it is important to compress the image by eliminating the redundant information in the image and encoding only the essential information. As multimedia inf...

Communication among agents in swarm intelligent systems and more generally in multiagent systems, is crucial in order to coordinate agents’ activities so that a particular goal at the collective level is achieved. From an agent’s perspective, the problem consists in establishing communication policies that determine what, when, and how to communicate with others. In general, communication polic...
