This paper presents a new approach to control robots, which can quickly find their swarm while tracking a moving target through the obstacles of the environment. In this approach, an artificial potential field is generated between each free-robot and the virtual attractive point of the swarm. This artificial potential field will lead free-robots to their swarm. The swarm-finding of these freero...

With the rapid development of swarm intelligence research field, a large number of algorithms in swarm intelligence are proposed one after another. The strong points and the drawbacks of a specific swarm intelligence algorithm becomes clear to be seen when the number of its application increases. To overcome the handicaps, some hybrid methods are invented. In this review, three hybrid swarm int...

numerous problems encountered in real life cannot be actually formulated as a single objective problem; hence the requirement of multi-objective optimization (moo) had arisen several years ago. due to the complexities in such type of problems powerful heuristic techniques were needed, which has been strongly satisfied by swarm intelligence (si) techniques. particle swarm optimization (pso) has ...

In this paper, an optimal stable algorithm is presented for members of a robots swarm moving toward a target. Equations of motion of the swarm are based on Lagrangian energy equations. Regarding of similar research On the design of swarm motion algorithm, an equation of motion considered constraints to guarantee no collision between the members and the members and obstacles along the motion pat...

in practical situations, distribution network loads are the mixtures of residential, industrial, and commercial types. this paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm for the optimal placement of shunt capacitor banks in radial distribution networks in the presence of different voltage-dependent load models. the algorithm is based on the combination of genetic algorithm (ga) and binary part...

The design of public transportation networks presupposes solving optimization problems, involving various parameters such as the proper mathematical description of networks, the algorithmic approach to apply, and also the consideration of real-world, practical characteristics such as the types of vehicles in the network, the frequencies of routes, demand, possible limitations of route capacitie...

Swarm intelligence can provide robust, adaptable, scalable solutions to difficult problems. The distributed nature of swarm activity is the basis of these desirable qualities, but it also prevents swarm-based techniques from having direct access to global knowledge that could facilitate the task at hand. Our experiments indicate that a swarm system can use an auxiliary swarm, called a communica...
