A Closer Look at Adaptation Mechanisms in Simulated Environment-Driven Evolutionary Swarm Robotics (2017)
Thesis
Steyven, A. S. W. A Closer Look at Adaptation Mechanisms in Simulated Environment-Driven Evolutionary Swarm Robotics. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1253630

This thesis investigates several aspects of environment-driven adaptation in simulated evolutionary swarm robotics. It is centred around a specific algorithm for distributed embodied evolution called mEDEA.
Firstly, mEDEA is extended with an explici... Read More about A Closer Look at Adaptation Mechanisms in Simulated Environment-Driven Evolutionary Swarm Robotics.

Emergence of hierarchy from the evolution of individual influence in an agent-based model (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Perret, C., Powers, S. T., & Hart, E. (2017, September). Emergence of hierarchy from the evolution of individual influence in an agent-based model. Presented at 14th European Conference on Artificial Life (ECAL 2017)

The sudden transition from egalitarian groups to hierarchical societies that occurred with the origin of agriculture is one of the most striking features of the evolution of human societies. Hierarchy is reflected by the evolution of an asymmetrical... Read More about Emergence of hierarchy from the evolution of individual influence in an agent-based model.

Home automation: HMM based fuzzy rule engine for Ambient intelligent smart space (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Singh Jamnal, G., Liu, X., & Fan, L. (2017, July). Home automation: HMM based fuzzy rule engine for Ambient intelligent smart space. Presented at The 29th International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering

In this paper, we proposed a new type of decision making system to achieve the intelligent goal for automated smart environments. The artificial intelligence techniques, used as building blocks to understand inhabitant activity patterns. The collecte...

Evaluation of a genetic representation for outline shapes (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Paechter, B. (2017, July). Evaluation of a genetic representation for outline shapes. Presented at Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion on - GECCO '17

This work in progress focuses on the evaluation of a genetic representation for outline shapes for planar mechanical levers which addresses the first stage of the complex real-world problem of modelling and evolving planar mechanical lever systems.

Combining parallel coordinates with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in a real-world optimisation problem (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. (2017, June). Combining parallel coordinates with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in a real-world optimisation problem. Presented at Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion on - GECCO '17

Optimisation problems based upon real-world instances often contain many objectives. Many existing Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm techniques return a set of solutions from which the user must make a final selection; typically such a set of so...

Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N., & Fonzone, A. (2017, July). Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem. Presented at Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference on - GECCO '17, Berlin, Germany

Agencies who provide social care services typically have to optimise staff allocations and the travel whilst attempting to satisfy conflicting objectives. In such cases it is desirable to have a range of solutions to choose from, allowing the agenc... Read More about Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem.

In two separate papers, Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Robotics researcher Guy Hoffman takes as a starting point that actors have been in the business of reverse engineering human behaviour for centuries. In this paper, I follow the similar trajectorie... Read More about Reverse engineering the human: artificial intelligence and acting theory.
