Bees have the potential to be used as indicators of environmental quality. The parameters typically analyzed in this context include species diversity, colony condition and foraging behavior. Bees explore the area around their nests, whose size and location vary based on the flight ranges and nesting preferences of the respective species. The environment around the nest must contain appropriate resources,...
Autonomous mobile robot navigation is a very relevant problem in robotics research. This paper proposes a vision-based autonomous navigation system using artificial neural networks (ANN) and finite state machines (FSM). In the first step, ANNs are used to process the image frames taken from the robot's camera, classifying the space, resulting in navigable or non-navigable areas (image road segmentation)...
The main goal of this paper is to describe the modeling, implementation and evaluation of the Genetic Algorithm's (GA) efficiency when applied to robotic group formation and coordination. The robotic task in this paper is performed over a natural disaster, simulated as a forest fire. The robot squad mission is to surround the fire and avoid fire's propagation. Experiments have been made with different...
