— We suggest a new navigation approach to mobile robots, within a nonlinear model predictive control framework where a navigation function is used as a control Lyapunov function....
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...
Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is quite effective for a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, the performance of SLS depends on several factors and getti...
While risk-sensitive (RS) approaches for designing plans of total productive maintenance are critical in manufacturing systems, there is little in the literature by way of theoret...
