Ant colony optimization Ant colony optimization 15 (ACO) is an agent-based algorithm procedure in16 spired by the function of ant colonies and their search 17 for the optimum path to food sources. The virtual 18 agents are called artificial ants or ants, and the opti19 mization problem is represented as a trail-and-error 20 search for the optimum path on a weighted graph. The 21 pheromone that ...

Artificial muscles based on conducting polymers

Natural muscles have mechanical properties that conventional actuators do not possess. These natural machines show large strain, moderate stress, high efficiency and stability, fast response time, high power/weight ratio, long lifetime, etc. In the last years a great interest has arisen to develop materials that mimic natural mechanisms. Conducting polymers have an array of potential applicatio...

Prediction Based Diagnosis Using Artificial Intelligence Methods

Artificial pigs in space: using artificial intelligence and artificial life techniques to design animal housing.

Computer simulations have been used by us since the early 1970s to gain an understanding of the spacing and movement patterns of confined animals. The work has progressed from the early stages, in which we used randomly positioned points, to current investigations of animats (computer-simulated animals), which show low levels of learning via artificial neural networks. We have determined that 1...

Artificial Intelligence Methods for Ambient Intelligence

Ambient Intelligence (ISTAG (2001) Scenarios for Ambient Intelligence in 2010) is a vision that enables intelligent environments with pervasive technology. In this vision human users are at the cent re, but machine and human are seen as equal, collaborating, to improve both human being and machine performance. Ambient Intelligence offers many benefits. For example, by inst rumenting public and ...
