Attractive force between the robot and the target location, and repulsive force between the robot and the obstacles are both converted to the potential field intensity; and filled potential field is used to guide the robot to go out of the local minimum points ; on this basis, the effect of dynamic obstacles velocity and the robot＇s velocity is consid thers and the IAPFM is established, then both the expressions of the attractive potential field and the repulsive potential field are obtained. The trust region algorithm is used to search the minimum value of the sum of all the potential field inten- sities within the movement scope which the robot can arrive in a sampling period. Connecting of all the points which hare the minimum intensity in every sampling period constitutes the global optimization path. Experiment result shows that the method can meet the real-time requirement, and is able to execute the mobile robot path planning task effectively in the dynamic environment.展开更多

This novel optimization algorithm is very efficient and as promising as it is;it can be favourably compared to other optimization algorithms and in some cases, it has been proven to be better than some known algorithms (like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)), especially when used in Well placement optimization problems that can be encountered in the Petroleum industry.

In order to make full use of limited battlefield resources and maximally destroy enemy targets from arbitrary angle in a limited time, the research on firepower nodes dynamic deployment becomes a key problem of command and control. Considering a variety of tactical indexes and actual constraints in air defense, a mathematical model is formulated to minimize the enemy target penetration probability. Based on characteristics of the mathematical model and demands of the deployment problems, an assistance-based algorithm is put forward which combines the artificial potential field （APF） method with a memetic algorithm. The APF method is employed to solve the constraint handling problem and generate feasible solutions. The constrained optimization problem transforms into an optimization problem of APF parameters adjustment, and the dimension of the problem is reduced greatly. The dynamic deployment is accomplished by generation and refinement of feasible solutions. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and feasible in dynamic situation.展开更多

文摘In recent years,fog computing has become an important environment for dealing with the Internet of Things.Fog computing was developed to handle large-scale big data by scheduling tasks via cloud computing.Task scheduling is crucial for efficiently handling IoT user requests,thereby improving system performance,cost,and energy consumption across nodes in cloud computing.With the large amount of data and user requests,achieving the optimal solution to the task scheduling problem is challenging,particularly in terms of cost and energy efficiency.In this paper,we develop novel strategies to save energy consumption across nodes in fog computing when users execute tasks through the least-cost paths.Task scheduling is developed using modified artificial ecosystem optimization(AEO),combined with negative swarm operators,Salp Swarm Algorithm(SSA),in order to competitively optimize their capabilities during the exploitation phase of the optimal search process.In addition,the proposed strategy,Enhancement Artificial Ecosystem Optimization Salp Swarm Algorithm(EAEOSSA),attempts to find the most suitable solution.The optimization that combines cost and energy for multi-objective task scheduling optimization problems.The backpack problem is also added to improve both cost and energy in the iFogSim implementation as well.A comparison was made between the proposed strategy and other strategies in terms of time,cost,energy,and productivity.Experimental results showed that the proposed strategy improved energy consumption,cost,and time over other algorithms.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm increases the average cost,average energy consumption,and mean service time in most scenarios,with average reductions of up to 21.15%in cost and 25.8%in energy consumption.

文摘With applying the information technology to the military field, the advantages and importance of the networked combat are more and more obvious. In order to make full use of limited battlefield resources and maximally destroy enemy targets from arbitrary angle in a limited time, the research on firepower nodes dynamic deployment becomes a key problem of command and control. Considering a variety of tactical indexes and actual constraints in air defense, a mathematical model is formulated to minimize the enemy target penetration probability. Based on characteristics of the mathematical model and demands of the deployment problems, an assistance-based algorithm is put forward which combines the artificial potential field （APF） method with a memetic algorithm. The APF method is employed to solve the constraint handling problem and generate feasible solutions. The constrained optimization problem transforms into an optimization problem of APF parameters adjustment, and the dimension of the problem is reduced greatly. The dynamic deployment is accomplished by generation and refinement of feasible solutions. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and feasible in dynamic situation.
文摘Extreme learning machine(ELM)allows for fast learning and better generalization performance than conventional gradient-based learning.However,the possible inclusion of non-optimal weight and bias due to random selection and the need for more hidden neurons adversely influence network usability.Further,choosing the optimal number of hidden nodes for a network usually requires intensive human intervention,which may lead to an ill-conditioned situation.In this context,chemical reaction optimization(CRO)is a meta-heuristic paradigm with increased success in a large number of application areas.It is characterized by faster convergence capability and requires fewer tunable parameters.This study develops a learning framework combining the advantages of ELM and CRO,called extreme learning with chemical reaction optimization(ELCRO).ELCRO simultaneously optimizes the weight and bias vector and number of hidden neurons of a single layer feed-forward neural network without compromising prediction accuracy.We evaluate its performance by predicting the daily volatility and closing prices of BSE indices.Additionally,its performance is compared with three other similarly developed models—ELM based on particle swarm optimization,genetic algorithm,and gradient descent—and find the performance of the proposed algorithm superior.Wilcoxon signed-rank and Diebold–Mariano tests are then conducted to verify the statistical significance of the proposed model.Hence,this model can be used as a promising tool for financial forecasting.

文摘An appropriate mathematical model can help researchers to simulate,evaluate,and control a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack system.Because a PEMFC is a nonlinear and strongly coupled system,many assumptions and approximations are considered during modeling.Therefore,some differences are found between model results and the real performance of PEMFCs.To increase the precision of the models so that they can describe better the actual performance,opti-mization of PEMFC model parameters is essential.In this paper,an artificial bee swarm optimization algorithm,called ABSO,is proposed for optimizing the parameters of a steady-state PEMFC stack model suitable for electrical engineering applications.For studying the usefulness of the proposed algorithm,ABSO-based results are compared with the results from a genetic algo-rithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).The results show that the ABSO algorithm outperforms the other algorithms.

文摘In order to meet the polishing requirement of faucets and other products,a novel multi-station rotary polishing robot is designed,which is a PPPR + RR type of degree of freedom( DOF) distribution structure,and is similar to dual-arm robot. Forward and inverse kinematic analysis is carried out by robot modeling. In order to make this robot structure more compact,first of all,X,Y and Z three moving degrees of freedom( DOF) limit stroke polishing need is calculated by using an artificial fish swarm algorithm,which analyzes dexterous workspace of this robot. Then,on the basis of the above analysis,the three DOF stroke is optimized. Simulation and polishing experimental results verify that this polishing robot with optimized stroke parameters can meet the polishing needs of faucets and other bathroom pieces.
