The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a ...

According to the environment modeling approach, path planning algorithms of micro-/nanorobots are classified into searching, sampling, and dynamic aspects. The searching path planning algorithms ...

Abstract: This study provides a detailed examination of network routing algorithms by comparing the effectiveness of the Time to Live (TTL) algorithm against both Single-objective and Multi-objective ...

Abstract: To address the limitations of the traditional Dijkstra algorithm in two-dimensional path optimization problems, this article uses ant colony algorithm to optimize the Dijkstra algorithm, ...
