Real life optimization problems often require finding optimal solution to complex high dimensional, multimodal problems involving computationally very expensive fitness function e...
In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
The subject of this paper is a special class of closedchain manipulators. First, we analyze a family of twodegree-of-freedom (dof) five-bar planar linkages. Two Jacobian matrices ...
In this paper, we propose a new hybrid model for active contour image segmentation, which is able to segment non-uniform noisy images efficiently. The model is a combination betwe...
In the previous reports, we presented a miniature inpipe robot called MRINSPECT (Multifunctional Robotic crawler for INpipe inSPECTion) IV which has been developed for the inspect...
