Legged robotic systems can play an important role in real-world applications due to their superior load-bearing capabilities, enhanced autonomy, and effective navigation on uneven terrain. They offer an optimal trade-off between mobility…

Accurate load forecasting remains a formidable challenge in numerous sectors, given the intricate dynamics of dynamic power systems, which often defy conventional statistical models. As a response, time-series methodologies like ARIMA and…

This thesis explores the benefits machine learning algorithms can bring to online planning and scheduling for autonomous vehicles in off-road situations. Mainly, we focus on typical problems of interest which include computing itineraries…

Individual robots are not effective at exploring large unmapped areas. An alternate approach is to use a swarm of simple robots that work together, rather than a single highly capable robot. The central-place foraging algorithm (CPFA) is…

The personnel rostering problem is the problem of finding an optimal way to assign employees to shifts, subject to a set of hard constraints which all valid solutions must follow, and a set of soft constraints which define the relative…

Recent years have seen an increasing integration of distributed renewable energy resources into existing electric power grids. Due to the uncertain nature of renewable energy resources, network operators are faced with new challenges in…

In this paper, the concept of Machine Learning (ML) is introduced to the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access-based (OFDMA-based) scheduler. Similar to the impact of the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) on the scheduler in the Long…

Modern lightweight dual-arm robots bring the physical capabilities to quickly take over tasks at typical industrial workplaces designed for workers. In times of mass-customization, low setup times including the instructing/specifying of new…

We consider several Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) with profits, which seek to select a subset of customers, each one being associated with a profit, and to design service itineraries. When the sum of profits is maximized under distance…

We consider a problem called task ordering with path uncertainty (TOP-U) where multiple robots are provided with a set of task locations to visit in a bounded environment, but the length of the path between a pair of task locations is…

Multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) problems involve optimizing the allocation of robots to tasks. MRTA problems are known to be challenging when tasks require multiple robots and the team is composed of heterogeneous robots. These…

The PDPTW is an optimization vehicles routing problem which must meet requests for transport between suppliers and customers satisfying precedence, capacity and time constraints. We present, in this paper, a genetic algorithm for…

We consider a vehicle routing problem which seeks to minimize cost subject to service level constraints on several groups of deliveries. This problem captures some essential challenges faced by a logistics provider which operates…

We study a multi-objective scheduling problem on two dedicated processors. The aim is to minimize simultaneously the makespan, the total tardiness and the total completion time. This NP-hard problem requires the use of well-adapted methods.…

Complex multi-robot missions often require heterogeneous teams to jointly optimize task allocation, scheduling, and path planning to improve team performance under strict constraints. We formalize these complexities into a new class of…

We present an aircraft maintenance scheduling problem, which requires suitably qualified staff to be assigned to maintenance tasks on each aircraft. The tasks on each aircraft must be completed within a given turn around window so that the…

One of the major distinguishing features of the dynamic multiobjective optimization problems (DMOPs) is the optimization objectives will change over time, thus tracking the varying Pareto-optimal front becomes a challenge. One of the…
