Exact and Heuristic Solution of the Consistent Vehicle-Routing Problem [PDF]
Transportation Science, 2019 Providing consistent service by satisfying customer demands with the same driver (driver consistency) at approximately the same time (arrival-time consistency) allows companies in last-mile distribution to stand out among competitors. The consistent vehicle-routing problem (ConVRP) is a multiday problem addressing such consistency requirements along ...

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Commercial Territory Design for a Distribution Firm with New Constructive and Destructive Heuristics [PDF]
International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2012 A commercial territory design problem with compactness maximization criterion subject to territory balancing and connectivity is addressed. Four new heuristics based on Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedures within a location-allocation scheme for ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

An Optimum Vehicular Path Solution with Multi-heuristics [PDF]
, 2004 Heuristics have been widely used in artificial intelligence related fields including path finding. In this paper, the author argue that different heuristics can be integrated to solve the path finding problems and set forward a solution integrating greedy heuristic, directional heuristic and hierarchical heuristic.

Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...
