A commonly experienced problem with population based optimisation methods is the gradual decline in population diversity that tends to occur over time. This can slow a system’s ...
This paper addresses the problem of cooperative transport of an object by a group of two simple autonomous mobile robots called s-bots. S-bots are able to establish physical connec...
In this paper we show how to traverse a subdivision and to report all cells, edges and vertices, without making use of mark bits in the structure or a stack. We do this by perform...
The max k-armed bandit problem is a recently-introduced online optimization problem with practical applications to heuristic search. Given a set of k slot machines, each yielding p...
