Safe and smooth mobile robot navigation through cluttered environment from the initial
position to goal with optimal path is required to achieve intelligent autonomous ground …

Project selection is a complex decision making process that is influenced by multiple and
often conflicting objectives. The complexity of the project selection problem is due to the high …

A novel detection algorithm for vision systems has been proposed based on combined fuzzy
image processing and bacterial algorithm. This combination aims to increase the detection …

In this paper we present a novel universal metaheuristic, Discrete Bacterial Memetic
Evolutionary Algorithm (DBMEA), which is based on the combination of the Bacterial …

Optimization methods known from the literature include gradient based techniques and
evolutionary algorithms. The main idea of the former methods is to calculate the gradient of …

The path-planning algorithm aims to find the optimal path between the starting and goal
points without collision. One of the most popular algorithms is the optimized Rapidly …

Order picking is the most labour and capital intensive warehousing operation whose primary
development field is routing optimisation due to its time consuming nature. The Order …

The goal of the path planning problem is to determine an optimal collision-free path between
a start and a target point for a mobile robot in an environment surrounded by obstacles. This …

In recent years, a large number of evolutionary and other population‐based heuristics were
proposed in the literature. In 2009, we suggested to combine the very efficient bacterial …

This paper presents a modeling method of weld bead profiles deposited on uneven base
metal surfaces and its application in multi-pass welding. The robotized multi-pass tungsten …
