An autonomous navigation technology for the mobile robot is investigated in this paper. The proposed robot path planning algorithm employs the dynamic programming to find the optimal path. The algorithm finds the global optimal path through the local computation on the environmental map. Since the robot computes the new path at every point, it can avoid the obstacle successfully during the navigation. The experimental results of the robot navigation are included in this paper.

The objective of this research is to develop a least cost system design method for branched storm sewer systems while satisfying all the design constraints using heuristic techniques such as genetic algorithm and harmony search. Two sewer system models have been developed in this study. The SEWERGA and SEWERHS both determine the optimal discrete pipe installation depths as decision variables. Two models also determine the optimal diameter of sewer pipes using the discrete installation depths of the pipes while satisfying the discharge and velocity requirement constraints at each pipe. Two models are applied to the example that was originally solved by Mays and Yen (1975) using their dynamic programming(DP). The optimal costs obtained from SEWERGA and SEWERHS are about 4% lower than that of the DP approach.

The complexity and expensiveness of water resources projects have made optimum operation and design by computer-based techniques of increasing interest in recent years. Water resources problems in real world need many decisions under numerous constraints. In addition there are nonlinearities in the state and return function. This mathematical and technical troublesome must be overcome so that the optimum operation polices are determined. Then traditional dynamic optimization method encountered two major-cruxes: variable discretization and appearance of constraints. Even several recent methods which based on the Differential Dynamic Programming(DDP) have some difficulties in handling of constraints. This paper has presented New DDP which is applicable to multi-reservoir control. It is intended that the method suggested here is superior to abailable alternatives. This belief is supported by analysis and experiments(New DDT does not suffer course of dimensionality and requires no discretization and is able to handle easily all constraints nonlinearity).

In the past, there have been many theory and algorithms for vehicle tracking. But the time complexity of many feature point matching methods for vehicle tracking are exponential. Also, object segmentation and detection algorithms presented for vehicle tracking are exhaustive and time consuming. Therefore, we present the fast and efficient two stages method that can efficiently track the many moving vehicles on the road. The first detects the vehicle plate regions and extracts the feature points of vehicle plates. The second associates the feature points between frames using dynamic programming.

Recently a framework for the cognition-based navigational planning of a mobile robot on dynamic environment has been proposed, and simulation results applied it to the static environment been presented [1]. In this paper, we propose a linguistic map-based framework for the navigational planning of mobile robots, which is applicable to the dynamic environment including not only static obstacles but also dynamic obstacles such as temporal-spatio obstacles, by extending Lee et al. 's framework, and provide computer simulation results obtained by applying to a mobile robot on the dynamic environment in order to show the validity of the proposed algorithm.

라오스 남능강 유역에는 현재 11개의 수력 발전 댐이 운영되고 있으며 최근에 설치된 댐을 제외하고는 오래전에 개발된 운영규정 곡선에 근거하여 운영하고 있다. 즉 댐의 증설에 따른 하천 유량의 변동과 발전소의 설비용량증설 등의 발전환경이 충분히 반영되지 못한 상태로 운영하고 있으며, 이로 인해 통합수자원 관리의 최적화 차원의 일환으로 최대 전력생산을 위한 새로운 저수지 운영규정 곡선 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 저수지 운영규정 곡선(reservoir operation rule curve)은 일반적으로 주어진 저수지의 규모와 저수지로의 유입량 그리고 발전소의 설비용량 등의 발전환경을 종합적으로 고려하여 연간 발전량을 최대로 생산할 수 있도록 최적화 기법 등을 활용하여 개발한다. 본 고에서는 이를 위해 범용적인 동적 계획법(Dynamic Programming:DP)프로그램인 CSUDP를 활용하여 최초의 최적 저수지 운영규정 곡선을 제시하고 이에 의한 발전량을 모의하기 위해 HEC-ResSim package를 활용하였으며, 최종적으로는 기존의 운영규정 곡선, 운영실적, 그리고 현장 운영자의 의견 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 댐 운영 시나리오(단독, 연결, 댐별 상업 발전 시기 등)별로 운영규정 곡선을 개발하고 라오스 정부(EdL)에 제시하였다.

Several different approaches and mechanisms are introduced to solve the UAV path planning problem. In this paper, we designed and implemented an agent-based simulation software using the Repast platform and Java Genetic Algorithm Package to examine an evolutionary path planning method by implementing and testing within the Repast environment. The paper demonstrates the life-cycle of an agent-based simulation software engineering project while providing a documentation strategy that allows specifying autonomous, adaptive, and interactive software entities in a Multi-Agent System. The study demonstrates how evolutionary path planning can be introduced to improve cognitive agent capabilities within an agent-based simulation environment.

This study investigates the optimum structural design of space truss considering global buckling, and is to obtain the minimal weight of the structure. The mathematical programming method is used for optimization of each member by member force. Besides, dynamic programming method is adapted for consideration in snap-through buckling. The mathematical modeling for optimum design of truss members consists of objective function of total weight and constrain equations of allowable tensile (or compressive) stress and slenderness. The tangential stiffness matrix is examined to find the critical point on equilibrium path, and a ratio of the buckling load to design load is reflected in iteration procedures of dynamic programming method to adjust the stiffness of space truss. The star dome is examined to verify the proposed optimum design processor. The numerical results of the model are conversed well and satisfied all constrains. This processor is a relatively simple method to carry out optimum design with consideration in global buckling, and is viable in practice with respect to structural design.

The objective of this study is to find the optimal operational planning of the hybrid cooling system, which is combined by ice storage system and the absorption chiller. The optimization technique used in this study is dynamic programming. The objective function is summed cost during a day including charge and discharge periods of ice storage system and operation time of absorption chiller. Assuming that initially ice storage tank is stored fully and the cooling load is perfectly predicted for the operational planning. This method provides the most efficient and economic combination of equipment operational planning for cooling with respect to energy consumption cost.
