Intelligent techniques foster the dissemination of new discoveries and novel technologies
that advance the ability of robots to assist and support humans. The human-centered …

Assembly systems (ASs) have moved into the era of mass customisation and Industry 4.0 (I4.
0). Mass customisation involves a shift from the production of high quantities of the same …

In real-world transfer learning tasks, especially in cross-modal applications, the source
domain and the target domain often have different features and distributions, which are well …

This article tackles the finite-time bipartite synchronization (FTBS) of coupled competitive
neural networks (CNNs) with switching parameters and time delay. Quantized control is …

This paper presents a Co-evolutionary Improved Genetic Algorithm (CIGA) for global path
planning of multiple mobile robots, which employs a co-evolution mechanism together with …

Path planning is a prerequisite for autonomous underwater vehicles to perform tasks
autonomously. Many shortest distance algorithms are applied, and ocean currents are …

In the past decades, considerable attention has been paid to bio-inspired intelligence and its
applications to robotics. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of bio-inspired …

The paper presents multi-objective optimization technique for the exploration of unknown
space. Exploration refers to the building of an estimated finite map of the environment using …

Safe and smooth mobile robot navigation through cluttered environment from the initial
position to goal with optimal path is required to achieve intelligent autonomous ground …

In the presence of modeling uncertainties and input saturation, this paper proposes a
practical adaptive sliding mode control scheme for an underactuated unmanned surface …
