Planning an optimal path for a mobile robot is a complicated problem as it allows the mobile robots to navigate autonomously by following the safest and shortest path between starting and goal points. The present work deals with the design of intelligent path planning algorithms for a mobile robot in static and dynamic environments based on swarm intelligence optimization. A modification based on the age of the ant is introduced to standard ant colony optimization, called modified aging ant colony optimization (AACO). The AACO was implemented in association with grid-based modeling for the static and dynamic environments to solve the path planning problem. The simulations are run in the MATLAB environment to test the validity of the proposed algorithms. Simulations showed that the proposed path planning algorithms result in superior performance by finding the shortest and the most free-collision path under various static and dynamic scenarios. Furthermore, the superiority of the proposed algorithms was proved through comparisons with other traditional path planning algorithms with different static environments.

Most of toolpaths for machining is composed of series of short linear segments (G01 command), which limits the feedrate and machining quality. To generate a smooth machining path, a new optimization strategy is proposed to optimize the toolpath at the curvature level. First, the three essential components of optimization are introduced, and the local corner smoothness is converted into an optimization problem.

Reconfigurable modular robots can be used in application domains such as exploration, logistics, and outer space. The robots should be able to assemble and work as a single entity to perform a task that requires high throughput. Selecting an optimum assembly position with minimum distance traveled by robots in an obstacle surrounding the environment is challenging.

The Historical Case for a Strong and Diverse Neurology Clerkship Leadership Team.

Neurol Educ

December 2024

From the Department of Neurology (A.P., D.G.L., C.G.R., J.C.M., E.H.K., J.N., C.E.G., R.M.E.S.), School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD; and Division of Neuromuscular Disorders (V.C.), School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

The role of the clerkship director has evolved significantly over the past century and now requires a diverse range of skills to meet the rigorous standards set by national accrediting bodies such as the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. We conducted a historical exploration, spanning the past 43 years, of the educational practices in the Neurology Department at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. We learned that no entity is responsible for documenting the history of the clerkship.

Automated guided vehicles play a crucial role in transportation and industrial environments. This paper presents a proposed Bio Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm for global path planning. The BPSO algorithm modifies the equation to update the particles' velocity using the randomly generated angles, which enhances the algorithm's searchability and avoids premature convergence.
