Teaching UAVs to Track, Adapt and Coordinate

An OptimumT case study in curiosity-driven artificial intelligence Coordinating autonomous aircraft requires continuous decisions in a changing environment. A moving target changes direction. Tracking aircraft must adjust their flight controls. The learning system must turn those interactions into increasingly effective behaviour. This project brought those capabilities together in a configurable simulation testbed. Combining curiosity-driven reinforcement […]

When Machines Become Curious: Inside OptimumT’s Vision for Intelligent UAV Systems

What if machines didn’t just follow instructions—but wanted to explore? What if autonomous systems could push beyond rigid programming and begin to learn with intent, adapt with purpose, and act with curiosity? At OptimumT, this is not a distant idea. It’s a direction we are actively building toward. 🚁 The Challenge: Intelligence in the Real […]

Evolution of Multi-Layered MIMO Artificial Neural Networks Using Grammatical Evolution

We have been publishing about grammatical evolution in quite a lot of detail in the past. Here is another one. In this work, we have developed the ability to evolve multi-input multi-output neural networks using grammatical evolution. The main target application that we foresaw was the domain of unmanned aerial vehicles and driverless cars. Both […]

Neural Networks For Intelligent Control

Recently we have been involved in the development of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) neural networks. These can be useful for training intelligent controllers. And that was our focus too. We aim to use them for the design of smart controllers for driverless cars as well as unmanned aerial vehicles. By implementing this capability we have taken […]
