A population based real-time optimization method for tuning dynamic position control parameters of robot manipulators has been proposed. Conventionally, the positional control is a...
When the goal is to achieve the best correct classification rate, cross entropy and mean squared error are typical cost functions used to optimize classifier performance. However,...
