Use of genetic algorithm for optimum proportioning of concrete
By
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have emerged as a robust optimization technique within civil engineering, particularly in the design of concrete mix proportions. Their inherent ability to address complex, multi-objective, and nonlinear optimization problems makes them well-suited for this application. Conventional mix design methodologies often rely on iterative, trial-and-error approaches that are both time-consuming and may fail…

The Robot-AI Merger
By
In recent years, robots have increasingly entered our daily lives, cooking meals, performing repetitive tasks, and working in industries from warehouses to restaurants. However, these robots operate in narrowly defined environments, following rigid scripts that leave them helpless when faced with real-world unpredictability. For example, a robot might be able to flip burgers or assemble…
