Asynchronous Parallel Assembly Sequence Planning Based on Ant Colony Algorithm

Parallel, Asynchronous and Decentralised Ant Colony System

This paper describes a multi-agent system architecture that would permit implementing an established and successful nature-inspired algorithm, Ant Colony System (ACS), in a parallel, asynchronous and decentralised environment. We reviewACS, highlighting the obstacles to its implementation in this sort of environment. It is suggested how these obstacles may be overcome using a pheromone infrastr...

Optimization Planning based on Improved Ant Colony Algorithm for Robot

As the ant colony algorithm has the defects in robot optimization path planning such as that low convergence cause local optimum, an improved ant colony algorithm is proposed to apply to the planning of path finding for robot. This algorithm uses the search way of exhumation ant to realize the complementation of advantages and accelerate the convergence of algorithm. The experimental result sho...

Adaptive Parallel Ant Colony Algorithm

An adaptive parallel ant colony optimization is presented by improving the critical factor influencing the performance of the parallel algorithm. We propose two different strategies for information exchange between processors: selection based on sorting and on difference, which make each processor choose another processor to communicate and update the pheromone adaptively. In order to increase ...

A Parallel Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm Based on Crossover Operation

Ant Colony Based Path Planning Algorithm for Autonomous Robotic Vehicles

The requirement of an autonomous robotic vehicles demand highly efficient algorithm as well as software. Today’s advanced computer hardware technology does not provide these types of extensive processing capabilities, so there is still a major space and time limitation for the technologies that are available for autonomous robotic applications. Now days, small to miniature mobile robots are req...
