Discovery and Optimization of Materials Using Evolutionary Approaches.

Chemical reviews
Materials science is undergoing a revolution, generating valuable new materials such as flexible solar panels, biomaterials and printable tissues, new catalysts, polymers, and porous materials with unprecedented properties. However, the number of pot...

An Integrated MCDM Model for Conveyor Equipment Evaluation and Selection in an FMC Based on a Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy ARAS in the Presence of Vagueness.

PloS one
The conveyor system plays a vital role in improving the performance of flexible manufacturing cells (FMCs). The conveyor selection problem involves the evaluation of a set of potential alternatives based on qualitative and quantitative criteria. This...

Engineering neural systems for high-level problem solving.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
There is a long-standing, sometimes contentious debate in AI concerning the relative merits of a symbolic, top-down approach vs. a neural, bottom-up approach to engineering intelligent machine behaviors. While neurocomputational methods excel at lowe...

Fuzzy logic inference-based Pavement Friction Management and real-time slippery warning systems: A proof of concept study.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Minimizing roadway crashes and fatalities is one of the primary objectives of highway engineers, and can be achieved in part through appropriate maintenance practices. Maintaining an appropriate level of friction is a crucial maintenance practice, du...

Robotic Nudges: The Ethics of Engineering a More Socially Just Human Being.

Science and engineering ethics
Robots are becoming an increasingly pervasive feature of our personal lives. As a result, there is growing importance placed on examining what constitutes appropriate behavior when they interact with human beings. In this paper, we discuss whether co...

A New Multivariate Approach for Prognostics Based on Extreme Learning Machine and Fuzzy Clustering.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Prognostics is a core process of prognostics and health management (PHM) discipline, that estimates the remaining useful life (RUL) of a degrading machinery to optimize its service delivery potential. However, machinery operates in a dynamic environm...

Colored Traveling Salesman Problem.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) is an important combinatorial optimization problem. It has been widely and successfully applied to the practical cases in which multiple traveling individuals (salesmen) share the common workspace (city ...

Design of a Robotic System to Measure Propulsion Work of Over-Ground Wheelchair Maneuvers.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
A wheelchair-propelling robot has been developed to measure the efficiency of manual wheelchairs. The use of a robot has certain advantages compared to the use of human operators with respect to repeatability of measurements and the ability to compar...
