Farmer Ants Optimization Algorithm: A Novel Metaheuristic for Solving Discrete Optimization Problems

Information
Currently, certain complex issues are classified as NP-hard problems, for which there is no exact solution, or they cannot be solved in a reasonable amount of time. As a result, metaheuristic algorithms have been developed as an alternative.

Seamless Mechanical Programming Through Hybrid Epoxy–Acrylate Printing for Soft–Rigid Robots

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hybrid epoxy‐acrylate printing enables seamless fabrication of soft–rigid robotic systems with covalently integrated interfaces and functionally graded mechanics. Grayscale exposure expands the accessible material space, enabling spatially programmed actuation through patterned stiffness while revealing the mechanics and durability of continuously ...

Solving Impulsive Control Problems by Discrete-Time Dynamic Optimization Methods

Trends in Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2008
This work presents an open-loop discrete-time dynamic optimization scheme for continuous-variable impulsive control problems. This methodology can be more useful than the classical optimal control in several contexts, since it delivers control actions ...

An Enhanced Discrete Bees Algorithm for Resource Constrained Optimization Problems

Inteligencia Artificial, 2019
In this paper, we propose a novel efficient model based on Bees Algorithm (BA) for the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP). The studied RCPSP is a NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem which involves resource, precedence, and ...

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.

Strong Equivalence of Qualitative Optimization Problems [PDF]

, 2012
We introduce the framework of qualitative optimization problems (or, simply, optimization problems) to represent preference theories. The formalism uses separate modules to describe the space of outcomes to be compared (the generator) and the preferences

Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

State Transition Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Discrete-Continuous Optimization Problems

IEEE Access, 2019
A simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is an effective method for solving optimization problems, especially for combinatorial optimization problems. However, SA algorithms rely heavily on the iterative mechanism of the neighborhood structure.
