Ab3tractGlobally optimal redundancy resolution in robot manipulators has been at t racted research interests and investigated with eager. Some researchers have attacked t h e redundancy resolution with optimization techniques and others with Pontryagin's principle. In this paper, as an another approach w e propose the optimal kinematic control. The formulation is: first to convert the redundanc...

in this paper, simultaneous placement of distributed generation, capacitor bank and protective devices are utilized to improve the efficiency of the distribution network. the objectives of the problem are reduction of active and reactive power losses, improvement of voltage profile and reliability indices and increasing distribution companies’ profit. the combination of firefly algorithm, parti...

Mobile robots that consist of a mobile platform with one or many manipulators mounted on it are of great interest in a number of applications. Combination of platform and manipulator causes robot operates in extended work space. The analysis of these systems includes kinematics redundancy that makes more complicated problem. However, it gives more feasibility to robotic systems because of the e...

—The paper presents features and implementation of a shared redundant approach to increase the reliability of networked control systems. Common approaches based on redundant components in control system use passive or active redundancy. We deal with quasi-redundant subsystems (shared redundancy) whereas basic features are introduced in the paper. This type of redundancy offers several important...

In this paper, we study different methods of solving joint redundancy-availability optimization for series-parallel systems with multi-state components. We analyzed various effective factors on system availability in order to determine the optimum number and version of components in each sub-system and consider the effects of improving failure rates of each component in each sub-system and impr...

This paper addresses two classes of different, yet interrelated optimization problems. The first class problems involves a mobile searcher that must locate hidden target in an environment consists set unbounded, concurrent rays. second pertains to the design interruptible algorithms by means schedule contract algorithms. Both types capture fundamental aspects resource allocation under uncertain...

Reliability is one of the most important attributes of any system. Adding redundancy is one way to improve the reliability. In this paper, we consider linear VLSI arrays in which each processor has a set of redundant links to bypass faulty processor(s). It is known that patterns of faults occurring at strategic locations in such arrays can be catastrophic and may render the system unusable rega...
