Task allocation is one of the core steps to effectively exploit the capabilities of cooperative control of multiple Uninhabited Aerospace Vehicle (UAV) teams. Task allocation is an NP-complete problem. In this paper, we present a new task allocation algorithm that is based on the principles of genetic algorithm (GA). GA is a class of adaptive search algorithms derived from biological population...

In a seminal paper, Dockner and van Long [1993. International pollution control: cooperative versus non-cooperative strategies. Journal of Environmental Economics and Management 25, 13–29] argue that nonlinear strategies allow to protect the commons compared with the linear (and singular) strategy. This paper shows that the existence of multiple equilibria depends on preference characteristics ...

Voluntary participation, demonstrated to be a simple yet effective mechanism to promote persistent cooperative behavior, has been extensively studied. It has also been verified that the aspiration-based win-stay-lose-learn strategy updating rule promotes the evolution of cooperation. Inspired by this well-known fact, we combine the Win-Stay-Lose-Learn updating rule with voluntary participation:...

When startup innovation involves a potentially disruptive technology – initially lagging in the predominant performance metric, but with a potentially favorable trajectory of improvement – incumbents may be wary of engaging in cooperative commercialization with the startup. While the prevailing theory of disruptive innovation suggests that this will lead to (exclusively) competitive commerciali...

This paper aims at understanding coevolutionary dynamics of cooperative behaviors and network structures of interactions. We constructed an evolutionary model in which each individual not only has a strategy for prisoner's dilemma to play with its neighboring members on the network, but also has a strategy for changing its neighboring structure of the network. By conducting evolutionary experim...

A New View of Internationalization: From a Western, Competitive Paradigm to Global Cooperative Strategy

The cooperative game of global temperature lacks automaticity and emotional jamming. To solve this issue, an agent-based modelling method is developed based on Milinski’s noncooperative game experiments. In addition, genetic algorithm is used to improve the investment strategy of each agent. Simulations are carried out by designing different coding schemes, mutation schemes, and fitness functio...

This paper presents a solution strategy for achieving cooperative timing among teams of vehicles. Based on the notion of coordination variables and coordination functions, the strategy facilitates cooperative timing by requiring acceptably low levels of communication and computation. The application of the coordination variable/function approach to trajectory planning problems for teams of unma...

This work is about solving the global localization issue for mobile robots operating in large and cooperative environments. It tackles the problem of estimating the pose of a robot or team of robots in the map reference frame, given the map, the real-time data from the robot onboard sensors and the real-time data coming from other robots or sensors in the environment. After a first step of posi...
