The biological immune system is a great source of inspiration for developing intelligent problem-solving techniques. Like other biologically motivated approaches, Artificial Immune System (AIS) is also a rapidly emerging field. It is used in pattern recognition, fault detection, computer security and a variety of other applications in science and engineering. It is expected that Artificial Immune System will be able to detect faults and make recommendations to a high-level control system about corrective action – similar to that of a human adaptive Immune System which keep the body healthy. Most of the research carried out so far is based either on the innate or adaptive characteristics of the immune system, this book attempts to combine them together to imitate the natural immune system and applied on a Multi-Robot Scenario. Very few work using AIS as an approach to multi-robot environment has been carried out so far. A case based experiment on how the robots interact with each other to exist in harmony is presented in this text.

It is important that we find convenient means of recycling the waste from all sources to
keep our planet sustainable. Recycling of electronic products is a very promising area for design of robots. The electronic waste that humans recklessly discard can be utilized in such a manner that it can be marketed as end product by simply making useable. In other words the very waste materials that human dispose of can assist him in his day activities. There cannot be any better technology that exist till today then finding a mechanism to utilize this waste for assisting humans beings the very creator of this waste.

The term Hoverbot is also often used to refer to sophisticated mechanical devices that are remotely controlled by human beings, such as waldoes and ROVs(Remotely operated Vehicles), even though these devices are not autonomous. This paper describes a remotely control of a Hoverbot by installing a transmitter and receiver on both sides that is the PC and the Hoverbot respectively. Data is transmitted as signal or instruction via a infrastructure network which is converted into a command for the Hoverbot that operates at a remote site.

It provides a mechanism to defend itself external predates making it a consistent system capable of adapting itself for survival in case of changes. The human immune system has motivated scientists and engineers for finding powerful information processing algorithms that has solved complex engineering tasks. This paper explores one of the various possibilities for solving problem in a Multiagent scenario wherein  multiple robots are deployed to achieve a goal collectively. The final goal is dependent on the performance of individual robot and its survival without having to lose its energy beyond a predetermined threshold value by deploying an evolutionary computational technique otherwise called the artificial immune system that imitates the biological immune system

Artificial Immune System is an evolutionary paradigm inspired by the biological aspects of the immune system of mammals. The immune system can inspire to form new algorithms learning from its course of action. The human immune system has motivated scientists and engineers for finding powerful information processing algorithms that has  solved complex engineering problems. This work is the result of an attempt to explore a different perspective of the immune system namely the Immune Privileged Site (IPS) which has the ability to make an exception to different parts of the body by not triggering immune response to some of the foreign agent in these parts of the body. While the complete system is secured by an Immune System at certain times it may be required that the system allows certain activities which may be harmful to other system which is useful to it and learns over a period of time through the immune privilege model as done in case of Immune Privilege Sites in Natural Immune System.

Optimization of Path Finding Algorithm using Clonal Selection: Application to Traveling Salesperson Problem

International Journal of Computer Theory and Engineering (IJCTE), VOL 2, NO 2, April., 2010

The proliferated cells are subject to an affinity maturation process, which improves their affinity to the selective antigens. The concept of Clonal selection is an important one to the success of the human immune system, and it provides an excellent example of the principles of selection at work. The positive and negative selection is another interesting mechanism in the immune system that works together to both retain cells that recognize the self peptides, while also removing cells that do not recognize any self peptides. In this paper, a cloning-based algorithm inspired by the Clonal and the positive/negative selection mechanism of the natural immune system is presented. The well known TSP is used to illustrate the approach. Simulations demonstrate that this approach generates good solutions to traveling salesman problem.

Recent advances have influenced sampling-based motion planning algorithms to be used in  disparate areas such as humanoid robotics, automotive manufacturing, architecture, computational geography, computer graphics, and computational biology. The technical approach is organized around three main areas: 1) the development of efficient nearest neighbor searching
techniques for spaces arising in motion planning; 2) the development of uniform sampling techniques on these spaces to allow resolution completeness in sampling-based planning algorithms; and 3) the development of guided sampling techniques for efficient exploration on such spaces. We discuss the dynamic adaption of RRT and have suggested theoretical results and analysis of its performance based on its tuning parameter (the radius of visibility) on the dynamically distributed domain formulated on each traversal.

Feedback by the agent during traversal of the path causes more agent concentration on the path, thereby influencing the behavior of the other agents. Several obstacles are likely to be encountered in the course of this traversal. The objective of the agent is to find an appropriate solution to bring itself closer to the goal considering the cost, time and path availability. A typical case of Traveling Salesman Problem is incorporated to achieve a proper solution to this navigation problem wherein, an already visited node/location will not be visited again by the robot.

based on three different algorithms. This summarizer uses statistical methods to summarize a text like considering the frequency of words, rare words etc. It then gives a meaningful title to the main text and finally selects the best summary out of a list of given summaries. This summarizer allots the writer a competence level (in written English) after analyzing the text like number of rare words used. The title generator of the summarizer gives a short title to the main text. Results obtained through experiments showed that it is indeed possible to determine the competence level of the writer from the text and proximity of the sentences play a vital role in selecting the best summary.
