Automation is not only transforming field work. In storage sheds, optical sorting systems are delivering fast returns.

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

ABSTRACT: Manual timetable preparation in colleges and universities is often time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient, especially with increasing student and course complexity. This paper proposes ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

MIT researchers found that different algorithms can all be grouped into a ‘periodic table’ of AI. The idea for the table was an accident that emerged from identifying similarities between two ...

Finding the shortest path in a network is a classical problem, and a variety of search strategies have been proposed to solve it. In this paper, we review traditional approaches for finding shortest ...

The Department of Marine Technology, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China Coverage path planning (CPP) for target search by autonomous unmanned vehicle (AUV) involves two crucial aspects: (1) the ...
