An optimal recombination operator for two-parent solutions provides the best solution among those that take the value for each variable from one of the parents (gene transmission property).

This lecture overviews the use of drones for infrastructure inspection and maintenance. Various types of inspection, e.g., using visual cameras, LIDAR or thermal cameras are reviewed. Primary application area is electric line inspection.

Image understanding benefits from the modeling of knowledge about both the scene observed and the objects it contains as well as their relationships.

In the past decade, artificial intelligence has made remarkable progress, achieving feats like self-driving cars, defeating go-masters, and precise image categorisation through supervised deep learning with labelled data.

The acquisition and self-improvement of novel motor skills is among the most important problems in robotics.

The aim of this lecture is to a) define Computational Politics as a discipline lying at the intersection of Political science and Computer science and b) present the use of AI and IT tools in political data analysis.
