Abstract: In various applications of multi-robotics in disaster response, warehouse management, and manufacturing, tasks that are known a priori and tasks added during run time need to be assigned efficiently and without conflicts ...

Abstract: Swarm robotic search aims at searching targets using a large number of collaborating simple mobile robots, with applications to search and rescue and hazard localization. In this regard, decentralized swarm systems are ...

Abstract: Advanced manufacturing processes are often based on complex multiphysics phenomena that are either poorly understood or are computationally too expensive to simulate in the context of process design, control, or planning. ...

Abstract: During wind farm planning, the farm layout or turbine arrangement is generally optimized to minimize the wake losses, and thereby maximize the energy production. However, the scope of layout design itself depends on the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the characterization of the uncertainty in the prediction of surrogate models. In the practice of engineering, where predictive models are pervasively used, the knowledge of the level of modeling ...

Abstract: In conventional wind farm design and optimization, analytical wake models are generally used to estimate the wakeinduced power losses. Different wake models often yield significantly dissimilar estimates of wake velocity ...
