Elitist Strategy

Robots are coming to help us in different harsh environments such as deep sea or coal mine. Waste landfill is the place like these with casualty risk, gas poisoning, and explosion hazards. It is reasonable to use robots to fulfill tasks like burying operation, transportation, and inspection. In these assignments, one important issue is to obtain appropriate paths for robots especially in some complex applications. In this context, a novel hybrid swarm intelligence algorithm, ant colony optimization enhanced by chaos-based particle swarm optimization, is proposed in this article to deal with the path planning problem for landfill inspection robots in Asahikawa, Japan. In chaos-based particle swarm optimization, Chebyshev chaotic sequence is used to generate the random factors for particle swarm optimization updating formula so as to effectively adjust particle swarm optimization parameters. This improved model is applied to optimize and determine the hyper parameters for ant colony optimization. In addition, an improved pheromone updating strategy which combines the global asynchronous feature and “Elitist Strategy” is employed in ant colony optimization in order to use global information more appropriately. Therefore, the iteration number of ant colony optimization invoked by chaos-based particle swarm optimization can be reduced reasonably so as to decrease the search time effectively. Comparative simulation experiments show that the chaos-based particle swarm optimization-ant colony optimization has a rapid search speed and can obtain solutions with similar qualities.

Localization Model

A sensor network operates wirelessly and transmits detected information to the base station. The sensor is a small sized device, it is battery-powered with some electrical components, and the protocols should operate efficiently in such least resource availability. Here, we propose a novel improved framework in large scale applications where the huge numbers of sensors are distributed over an area. The designed protocol will address the issues that arise during its communication and give a consistent seamless communication system. The process of reasoning and learning in cognitive sensors guarantees data delivery in the network. Localization in Scarce and dense sensor networks is achieved by efficient cluster head election and route selection which are indeed based on cognition, improved Particle Swarm Optimization, and improved Ant Colony Optimization algorithms. Factors such as mobility, use of sensor buffer, power management, and defects in channels have been identified and solutions are presented in this research to build an accurate path based on the network context. The achieved results in extensive simulation prove that the proposed scheme outperforms ESNA, NETCRP, and GAECH algorithms in terms of Delay, Network lifetime, Energy consumption.

Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem

A lot of practical problem, such as the scheduling of jobs on multiple parallel production lines and the scheduling of multiple vehicles transporting goods in logistics, can be modeled as the multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP). Due to the combinatorial complexity of the MTSP, it is necessary to use heuristics to solve the problem, and a discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm is employed in this paper. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) in the continuous space has obtained great success in resolving some minimization problems. But when applying PSO for the MTSP, a difficulty rises, which is to find a suitable mapping between sequence and continuous position of particles in particle swarm optimization. For overcoming this difficulty, PSO is combined with ant colony optimization (ACO), and the mapping between sequence and continuous position of particles is established. To verify the efficiency of the DPSO algorithm, it is used to solve the MTSP and its performance is compared with the ACO and some traditional DPSO algorithms. The computational results show that the proposed DPSO algorithm is efficient.

The Way

This paper presents the concepts of three evolutionary algorithms i.e, ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization algorithm. An evolutionary algorithm copies the way how evolution occurs in the nature. There are various types of evolutionary algorithms. This paper focuses on ACO and PSO algorithms. ACO provides solution to various optimization problems. It follows the principle of survival of the fittest. Various problems such as knapsack problem, TSP(travelling salesman problem) can be solved using genetic algorithm. Ant colony optimization is a heuristic algorithm which follows the behaviour of ants i.e., the way ants seek food in their environment by starting from their nest. Particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is also an optimization algorithm which also uses a method of searching using some heuristics.
