Accuracy-based learning classifier system ensembles with rule-sharing (2007)
Journal Article

Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) are a method of evolving compact rule-sets using reinforcement learning. This paper presents an investigation into exploiting the population-based nature of LCS for their use within highly-parallel systems, such as...

Teaching a contextual and feminist history of geography through role play: Women's membership of the Royal Geographical Society (1892-1893) (2007)
Journal Article

Focusing on the debate around women's membership of the Royal Geographical Society (UK) 1892-1893, a role play was written using archive and secondary sources and is reproduced here as a resource. In the first instance the role play makes women visib...

Fuzzy classifier system architectures for mobile robotics: An experimental comparison (2007)
Journal Article

We present an experimental comparison between two approaches to optimization of the rules for a fuzzy controller. More specifically, the problem is autonomous acquisition of an "investigative" obstacle avoidance competency for a mobile robot. We repo...

Use of a bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain within an in vitro microbiological system, as a model of wound infection, to assess the antimicrobial efficacy of wound dressings by monitoring light production (2007)
Journal Article

A bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa was incorporated into an in vitro static diffusion method to determine whether light output could be used as a measure of wound dressing efficacy. A significant linear correlation was observed between viable co...

Whiskerbot: A robotic active touch system modeled on the rat whisker sensory system (2007)
Journal Article

The Whiskerbot project is a collaborative project between robotics engineers, computational neuroscientists and ethologists, aiming to build a biologically inspired robotic implementation of the rodent whisker sensory system. The morphology and mech... Read More about Whiskerbot: A robotic active touch system modeled on the rat whisker sensory system.

Towards energy optimization: Emergent task allocation in a swarm of foraging robots (2007)
Journal Article

This article presents a simple adaptation mechanism to automatically adjust the ratio of foragers to resters (division of labor) in a swarm of foraging robots and hence maximize the net energy income to the swarm. Three adaptation rules are introduce... Read More about Towards energy optimization: Emergent task allocation in a swarm of foraging robots.
