The haptic system has two key performance issues: stability and transparency. A haptic interface controller (HIC) is designed to address these issues. Addressing these issues becomes a complex problem as both are complementary to each other. Here, when transparency of the system is increased, its stability degrades and vice-versa. To overcome this problem, intelligent optimized solutions are used in this paper to design a HIC controller for the haptic system. SVM and NN techniques have been employed to identify the performance of the controller, ensuring stability and transparency both. The disadvantages of NN in terms of the number of neurons and hidden layers are overcome by SVM. Further, the performance of SVM is highly dependent upon the selection of free parameters. So, further, a modified PSO technique is employed for the optimal selection of these parameters to enhance the performance of SVM. Hence, this novel proposed hybrid technique of m-PSO optimized SVM is applied for the optimal design of the HIC to find out an optimal solution between trade-off the transparency and stability of the haptic device simultaneously. To appreciate the efficacy of the proposed technique, the result obtained with this is compared with HIC design using neural network and conventional ZN method also. This designed controller ensures stability as well as transparency, even under the presence of uncertainty, delay, and quantization error.

Haptic technology is the future oriented technology having wide applications in various field from medical, military and pilot training to video games and smartphones. In medical, it can prove a major asset for training the surgeon. The key performance issues in a haptic system are stability and transparency. This paper presents the design of haptic interface controller (HIC) for a 1-DOF haptic system designed to be used by surgical practitioners. The designed controller emphasizes on stability and transparency under the presence of uncertainty and delay. The optimal parameter of HIC has been selected using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and modified Particle Swarm Optimization (m-PSO). The performance of the designed controller is evaluated in terms of performance measure and compared with the conventional tuning method.

Metaheuristic algorithms have been applied to a wide range of global optimization problems. Basically, these techniques can be applied to problems in which a good solution must be found, providing imperfect or incomplete knowledge about the optimal solution. However, the concept of combining metaheuristics in an efficient way has emerged recently, in a field called hybridization of metaheuristics or, simply, hybrid metaheuristics. As a result of this, hybrid metaheuristics can be successfully applied in different optimization problems. In this paper, two hybrid metaheuristics, MAMH (Multiagent Metaheuristic Hybridization) and MAGMA (Multiagent Metaheuristic Architecture), are adapted to be applied in the automatic design of ensemble systems, in both mono- and multi-objective versions. To validate the feasibility of these hybrid techniques, we conducted an empirical investigation, performing a comparative analysis between them and traditional metaheuristics as well as existing existing ensemble generation methods. Our findings demonstrate a competitive performance of both techniques, in which a hybrid technique provided the lowest error rate for most of the analyzed objective functions.

This paper proposes a robust approach to solve the complex problem of concurrent tolerance allocation. The optimal tolerances are allocated based on the adjusted nominal values of the dimensions which are less sensitive to the product performance, and selection of manufacturing processes or machines from the alternatives have also been taken into account simultaneously. Immune genetic algorithm is used to solve the model and obtain the global optimal solution. The overrunning clutch assemble is illustrated as an example.

Abstract. In the construction of scales intended for the use in cross-cultural studies, the selection of items needs to be guided not only by traditional criteria of item quality, but has to take information about the measurement invariance of the scale into account. We present an approach to automated item selection which depicts the process as a combinatorial optimization problem and aims at finding a scale which fulfils predefined target criteria – such as measurement invariance across cultures. The search for an optimal solution is performed using an adaptation of the [Formula: see text] Ant System algorithm. The approach is illustrated using an application to item selection for a personality scale assuming measurement invariance across multiple countries.

When designing radioelectronic devices, that are included in the composition of various systems, it is important to solve broadband matching problem and filtering problem. However, usually these problems are separated and not considered together. Moreover, the synthesis of filters does not take into account the behavior of impedances of the generator and the load in the stopbands. The solution of the complex problem is actual, since it allows expanding the functionality of the device, which can greatly simplify the construction of the radio engineering product. It should be noted that in the known literature solution of this problem in such a formulation is not considered. The aim of the work is to develop a synthesis method and algorithm of broadband devices that connect arbitrary immitances of the generator and the load, and these devices should perform simultaneously functions of both matching and filtering in reactive lumped electric element base and in distributed electric element base, limited only by transmission lines with T-waves. In this paper, a two-stage automated method of synthesis presented here stage allows at the first to adequately find a good initial solution to the posed problem (determining structure and parameters of the broadband matching and filtering quadrupole), in the second stage this approach allows to find the optimal solution to the complex problem, taking into account the constraints on physical and circuit realizability. In this work, the synthesis of broadband matching and filtering devices in lumped and distributed electrical element basis is carried out, and these devices connect complex impedances of the source and the load. The characteristics of the devices obtained after the synthesis show that the solution of the complex problem of matching and filtering gives a significant improvement in filtering properties with small losses in the level of transmitted power.

Turn-milling is a hybrid machining process which used benefits of interrupted cutting for proceeding of round bars. However, number of controllable parameters in the hybrid process is numerous that makes optimizing the process complicated. In the present study, an optimization work has been proposed to investigate the trade-off between production rate and cutting force in roughing regime as well surface roughness and tensile residual stress in finishing regime. Number of 43 experiments based on response surface methodology was designed and carried out to gather required data for development of quadratic empirical models. Then, the adequacy and importance of process factors were analyzed using analysis of variances. Finally, desirability function was used to optimize the process in rough and finish machining regimes. The obtained results showed that selection of eccentricity and cutter speed at their maximum working range can effectively enhance the quality characteristics in both the roughing and finishing regimes.

Energy efficiency of systems of water pumping is a complex problem since efficiency of two distinct interacting systems needs to be combined: water and power supply. This paper introduces a non-intrusive method of calculating the so-called “collective losses” of a cage induction motor. The term “collective losses”, which the authors define, allows for accurate estimation of motor efficiency. Control system of a pump determines operating point of a pumping station, and thus its efficiency. General estimated performance characteristics of a motor, components of a control system, are assumed to serve selection of a range of pumping speed variations. Rotational speed has a direct effect on motor load torque, pump power and head, and thus on motor performance. Hellwig’s statistical method was used to specify characteristics of estimated collective losses on the basis of experimental studies of 21 motors rated at up to 2.2 kW. The results of simulations and experiments are used to verify validity and efficiency of the suggested method. The method is non-intrusive, simple to use, and requires minimum data.

Due to the adaptation of recent pollution mitigation and justification policies there has been a growing trend for electricity generation from various renewable resources. The selection of the optimal renewable energy technology could be measured as a complex problem due to the complication of forthcoming circumstances in any country. Consequently, the proposed similar complex assessment problem can be tackled with the support of Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methods. The current research study investigates a technology selection problem by proposing a hybrid MADM approach based on the Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) approach with a hierarchical arrangement combined with the Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of Ratio Analysis plus the full MULTIplicative form (MULTIMOORA). Ultimately, a conceptual case study regarding the selection of the optimal renewable energy technology based on a conceptual development project in Iran has been examined by the proposed combinative MADM methodology.

Modern computers solve many problems by using exact methods, heuristic methods and very often by using their combination. Air Traffic Controller Shift Scheduling Problem has been successfully solved by using SAT technology (reduction to logical formulas) and several models of the problem exist. We present a technique for solving this problem that is a combination of SAT solving and meta-heuristic method hill climbing, and consists of three phases. First, SAT solver is used to generate feasible solution. Then, the hill climbing is used to improve this solution, in terms of number of satisfied wishes of controllers. Finally, SAT solving is used to further improve the found solution by fixing some parts of the solution. Three phases are repeated until optimal solution is found. Usage of exact method (SAT solving) guarantees that the found solution is optimal; usage of meta-heuristic (hill climbing) increases the efficiency in finding good solutions. By using these essentially different ways of solving, we aim to use the best from both worlds. Results indicate that this hybrid technique outperforms previously most efficient developed techniques.

Optimization problems are often found in everyday life, such as when determining goods to be a limited storage media. This causes the need for the selection of goods in order to obtain profits with the requirements met. This problem in mathematics is usually called a knapsack. Knapsack problem itself has several variations, in this study knapsack type used is multiple constraints knapsack 0-1 which is solved using the Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) algorithm. The aim of this study is to obtain an optimal solution and study the effectiveness of the algorithm comparing it to the Simplex method in Microsoft Excel. This study uses two data, consisting of primary and secondary data. Based on the results of parameter testing, the proven parameters are nClan, nCi,α,β and MaxGen have a significant effect. The final simulation results have also shown a comparison of the EHO algorithm with the Simplex method having a very small percentage deviation. This shows that the EHO algorithm is effective for completing optimization multiple constraints knapsack 0-1. Keywords: EHO Algorithm, Multiple Constraints Knapsack 0-1 Problem.
