About this Research Topic
As an enhanced machine learning (ML) by exploiting evolutionary computation (EC), evolutionary computation-based machine learning (ECML) integrates the advantages of both ML and EC to have the powerful potentials showing the excellent automatic control for addressing the modelling and design problems. ECML can adapt to the dynamic change of the number of nodes due to the adaptive ability so that the controlled modelling results are considered stable. Especially, ECML also has a strong search ability, which can decrease the computation cost of cluster nodes analytics to a large extent. Therefore, it is of great interest to investigate the role of ECML techniques in MRS.
This special issue focuses on ECML for multi-robot systems in terms of theoretical and practical issues. The purpose of this special issue is to bring together researchers, industry personnel, academicians and individuals working in these areas and to exchange novel ideas and the latest findings.
