This paper introduces Melody Search Algorithm which is an innovative optimization algorithm, inspired by basic concepts applied in Harmony Search algorithm. The new algorithm mimics performance ...

A new algorithm enables robots to evaluate and refine thousands of motion plans in parallel using GPU acceleration, significantly reducing planning time for complex tasks like packing. This approach, ...

The optimal control literature is dominated by standard problems in which the system cost functional is expressed in the well-known Bolza form. Such Bolza cost functionals consist of two terms: a ...
