Bio‐Inspired Swarm Robotics Design for Mine Automation
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.Ants demonstrate tandem running for cooperative haulage, and honeybees use memory‐based routes between hive and flowers. These behaviours inspire autonomous haulage robots in open‐pit mines to achieve efficient scan‐plan‐retrieve ore transport, replacing small haulage robots with large mining trucks.

On The Continuous Coverage Problem for a Swarm of UAVs
, 2017 Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to provide wireless network and remote surveillance coverage for disaster-affected areas. During such a situation, the UAVs need to return periodically to a charging station for recharging, due to their limited

Equitable Routing -- Rethinking the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem
The Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP) generalizes the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) by introducing multiple salesmen tasked with visiting a set of targets from a single depot, ensuring each target is visited exactly once while minimizing total tour length. A key variant, the min-max MTSP, seeks to balance workloads by minimizing the longest
