Point estimates of the parameters in real world models convey valuable information about the actual system. However, parameter comparisons and/or statistical inference requires de...
— Traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) suffers from the premature convergence problem, which usually results in PSO being trapped in local optima. This paper presents an...
For a mobile robot to move in a known environment and operate successfully, first it needs to robustly determine its initial position and orientation relative to the map, and then ...
