Observing the swarm behaviour during its evolutionary design
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) can be used for designing Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms that work, in some cases, considerably better than the human-designed ones. By...

Distributed grasp synthesis for swarm manipulation with applications to autonomous tugboats
— Assume a swarm of mobile robots is in the act of transporting a large object in the plane, by applying unilateral forces to the perimeter of that object. We address the questio...

Particle Swarm Optimization Using Adaptive Mutation
Two new variants of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) called AMPSO1 and AMPSO2 are proposed for global optimization problems. Both the algorithms use adaptive mutation using Beta ...
