Social dynamics are very complex and also interesting to model. One of the agent based models, proposed by Axelrod in 1997 [1], investigates polarization of population.

Agents has culture represented with an F dimensional vector where each dimension has q different possible choices. Think that as the dimension represents the musical preference and there are q genres to select from.

Testability of robotic applications is difficult due to several reasons including the battery limitations of mobile robots, hardware wear and tear, inadequate number of the robots, etc.

Given a text document and a predetermined set of classes, text classification (categorization) is the task of finding the correct class of the document. Centroid-based classification is a simple type of classification in which the given document is assigned to a class based on the similarity between the document and the centroids of the classes. In this project, we begin with reading the paper “A New Centroid Based Classification Model for Text Categorization”, Liu, C., Wang, W., Tu, G., Xiang, Y. and Konan, M., 2016.

Operating a real robot can be cumbersome, risky and slow. Therefore, it is often helpful to be able to simulate the robot. Moreover, if a robot needs to move its hand into a desired target, it should not simply follow any path from its current position because it may hit an obstacle. Therefore, the robot needs to plan a path from its current pose to the target pose.
