Navigation, Routing and Nature-Inspired Computation -- Navigation and Navigation Algorithms -- Is Vehicle Routing Problem Dead? Review of Vehicle Routing Problems from a Nature-Inspired Perspective -- Travelling Salesman Problem: Resolution Layers -- Flow Shop Scheduling by Nature-Inspired Algorithms -- Mobile Robot Path Planning by Flower Pollination Algorithm -- Smartphone Indoor Localization Using Bio-Inspired Modeling -- A New Obstacle Avoidance Technique -- Travelling Cranes -- Natural Heuristic Methods for Under Water Vehicle Path Planning
Summary
This book discusses all the major nature-inspired algorithms with a focus on their application in the context of solving navigation and routing problems. It also reviews the approximation methods and recent nature-inspired approaches for practical navigation, and compares these methods with traditional algorithms to validate the approach for the case studies discussed. Further, it examines the design of alternative solutions using nature-inspired techniques, and explores the challenges of navigation and routing problems and nature-inspired metaheuristic approaches
