Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the most prevalent pains which could be ignited via material handling. Backpack wearers are among those who may carry heavy loads. Since MSDs mainly originate in school-aged children, students (as the largest group of backpack wearers) are considered more important. The purpose of this study is to design a backpack based on minimization of ...

This paper introduces and demonstrates a full hardware testbed for research in multi-agent planning and learning for long-duration missions. The testbed includes an automated battery changing/charging platform and multiple UAV/UGV agents. The planner for each agent was formulated as a decentralised multi-agent Markov decision process and implemented using a distributed solution approach. Learni...

Developing an efficient heuristic algorithm to solve a supply chain operations planning model is the main purpose of this paper. The model considers multi period supply chain planning with capacitated resources. The concept of multi period capacity consumption has been developed recently at the context of supply chain management that realizes resource planning at a supply chain. Because of cons...

Geographical information systems (GIS) provide forest managers with tools to use in planning forest operations by allowing them to visualize and integrate data into the planning decisions. As the forest planning process becomes increasingly complicated, there is a need to assist forest planners with operative tools. The combined use of GIS and multi-criteria decision methods (MCDM) allows fores...
