Abstract

Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) is a kind of population-based evolutionary optimizer. Many PSO variants have been proposed and most of them require mutual communications among particles for their fitness values to find the best position, hence leading to their effective collaboration. However, some real scenes using swarm robots to perform PSO cannot provide reliable communications during their distributed search. To handle such issues, this work proposes a novel PSO variant without communications among particles, called Communication-free Particle Swarm Optimizer (CfPSO). It employs particles’ detection ability instead of direct communications among them to accomplish the needed collaboration. Experimental results show that it obtains higher accurate performance than the standard PSO equipped with full communication ability, which is against human intuition.
