The use of a swarm of autonomous robots for bushfire fighting is studied in this work. A novel distributed and behavioral control strategy, the Ant System with Negative Feedback (ASNF), is proposed. Inspired by real ants behavior under crowded conditions, ASNF differs from existing ant based algorithms by introducing a new pheromone, the Crowded Pheromone (CP), into the algorithmic framework. In ASNF,...
We developed a scalable distributed computing system using the Berkeley Open Interface for Network Computing (BOINC) to align next-generation sequencing (NGS) data quickly and accurately. NGS technology is emerging as a promising platform for gene expression analysis due to its high sensitivity compared to traditional genomic microarray technology. However, despite the benefits, NGS datasets can be...
UV laser excited microphotoluminescence (PL) was used to evaluate the local strain for freestanding Si membranes (FSSMs), which can be applied to the fabrication of high performance radiofrequency (RF) power amplifier. The FSSMs were fabricated by the mesa etching of Si on insulator followed by etching of the buried oxide. Compressive strain in the membranes was induced by SiN deposition using low-pressure...
Nowadays, supply chain coordination has become the major concern problem in optimization cost, and inventory control is the main way to improve the performance or reduce cost. Based on cooperation and symmetry information, this paper builds up inventory control model for supplier and retailer system in which retailer is the core enterprise. Then, the supply chain realizes the optimal total cost through...
This paper introduced the basic principles of the ant algorithm. On this basis, the method of dynamic mobile robot path planning based on ant algorithm is also proposed. Finally, the algorithm is certificated by Visual C++ simulation. It has a certain sense to solve the optimization problem that ant algorithm is applied to the mobile robot path planning.
