- Description: This review paper provides an overview of the latest developments in artificial intelligence (AI)-based antenna design and optimization for wireless communications. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms are applied to antenna engineering to improve the efficiency of the design and optimization processes. The review discusses the use of electromagnetic (EM) simulators such as computer simulation technology (CST) and high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) for ML and DL-based antenna design, which also covers reinforcement learning (RL)-bases approaches. Various antenna optimization methods including parallel optimization, single and multi-objective optimization, variable fidelity optimization, multilayer ML-assisted optimization, and surrogate-based optimization are discussed. The review also covers the AI-based antenna selection approaches for wireless applications. To support the automation of antenna engineering, the data generation technique with computational electromagnetics software is described and some useful datasets are reported. The review concludes that ML/DL can enhance antenna behavior prediction, reduce the number of simulations, improve computer efficiency, and speed up the antenna design process. © 2013 IEEE.

- Description: Target search and tracking is a classical but difficult problem in many research domains, including computer vision, wireless sensor networks and robotics. We review the seminal works that addressed this problem in the area of swarm robotics, which is the application of swarm intelligence principles to the control of multi-robot systems. Robustness, scalability and flexibility, as well as distributed sensing, make swarm robotic systems well suited for the problem of target search and tracking in real-world applications. We classify the works we review according to the variations and aspects of the search and tracking problems they addressed. As this is a particularly application-driven research area, the adopted taxonomy makes this review serve as a quick reference guide to our readers in identifying related works and approaches according to their problem at hand. By no means is this an exhaustive review, but an overview for researchers who are new to the swarm robotics field, to help them easily start off their research. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.
