Active Information Gathering Using Distributed Mobile Sensing Networks
An autonomous robot system requires robots to actively gather information using sensors in order to make control decisions. Some problems where autonomous robots are useful include mapping, environmental monitoring, and surveillance. In some cases, information gathering turns into a multiple target …

Information storage capacity of genetic algorithm fitness maps.
To accurately measure the amount of information a genetic algorithm can generate, we must first measure the amount of information one can store, using a fitness map. The amount of information generated, minus the storage capacity, gives a tighter estimate on the levels of information generated by …
