Tayebeh Mostajabi, Javad Poshtan Abstract— A central topic of swarm intelligence is the investigation of different types of emergent collective behaviors in swarms. This article focus on the swarm intelligence applications in control and system identification. Particle swarm optimization (PSO), a novel population based stochastic optimizer with fast convergence speed and simple implementation a...

In this chapter, Deep Memory with Particle Swarm Optimization (DMPSO) algorithm is presented, which is based on Particle Swarm Optimization initialized by the particles of Deep Memory Greedy Search (DMGS). The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a population based optimization technique, where the population is called a swarm. In PSO, each particle represents a possible solution to the optimiz...

1. Abstract Swarm algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) are non-gradient probabilistic optimization algorithms that have been successfully applied to obtain global optimal solutions for complex problems such as multi-peak problems. However these algorithms have not been applied to complicated structural and mechanical optimization problems since local optimization capability is s...

We present Buzz, a novel programming language for heterogeneous robot swarms. Buzz advocates a compositional approach, offering primitives to define swarm behaviors both from the perspective of the single robot and of the overall swarm. Single-robot primitives include robot-specific instructions and manipulation of neighborhood data. Swarm-based primitives allow for the dynamic management of ro...

The work reported in this paper is motivated by the fact that there is a need to apply autonomic computing concepts to parallel computing systems. Advancing on prior work based on intelligent cores [36], a swarm-array computing approach, this paper focuses on ‘Intelligent agents’ another swarm-array computing approach in which the task to be executed on a parallel computing core is considered a...

For a decade swarm Intelligence, an artificial intelligence discipline, is concerned with the design of intelligent multi-agent systems by taking inspiration from the collective behaviors of social insects and other animal societies. They are characterized by a decentralized way of working that mimics the behavior of the swarm. Swarm Intelligence is a successful paradigm for the algorithm with ...

In this paper we described the hardware architecture of an inexpensive, heterogeneous, mobile robot swarm, designed and developed at RISC lab, University of Bridgeport. Each UB robot swarm is equipped with sensors, actuators, control and communication units, power supply, and interconnection mechanism. Robot swarms have become a new research paradigm in the last ten years offering novel approac...

In practical applications of robot swarms with bioinspired behaviors, a human operator will need to exert control over the swarm to fulfill the mission objectives. In many operational settings, human operators are remotely located and the communication environment is harsh. Hence, there exists some latency in information (or control command) transfer between the human and the swarm. In this pap...

This chapter considers the application of swarm intelligence principles to collective robotics. Our aim is to identify the reasons for the growing interest in the intersection of these two areas, and to evaluate the progress that has been made to date. In the course of this chapter, we will discuss the implications of taking a swarm intelligent approach, and review recent research and applicati...

The variable ordering of constraint satisfaction problems affect the performance of search algorithms in CSPs. Dynamic Variable Ordering (DVO) has more advantage in improving the performance of search algorithms than static variable ordering. It is a newly developed method recent years that using particle swarm algorithm to solve binary constraint satisfaction problems, which is a global stocha...
