Visible light communication (VLC) offers a promising alternative to traditional radio frequency communication due to its greater bandwidth, energy efficiency, and security advantages. This paper presents a comprehensive review of bio-inspired optimization algorithms, including swarm intelligence and genetic algorithms, that enhance the performance and robustness of VLC systems. These techniques have demonstrated significant potential in addressing challenges such as channel optimization and noise reduction. However, despite their advantages, bio-inspired algorithms also face limitations, including computational complexity and limited adaptability to dynamic real-world conditions. Additionally, the integration of bio-inspired methods with artificial intelligence (AI) may further enhance their adaptability and efficiency in VLC systems. This review highlights both the opportunities and challenges associated with bio-inspired optimization in VLC and provides insights into future directions for research and practical implementation, which will focus on developing more efficient and scalable bio-inspired approaches that can operate in highly variable environments while minimizing energy consumption.

In this paper, we describe a system for combating real fires with sprayed liquid extinguishing agent using a team of multirotor UAVs. The system design relies on onboard sensors and operates without the need for human intervention throughout its complex mission, from its takeoff to landing. The core UAV platform can estimate its state, self-localize, navigate and locate and extinguishing fires. Thermal and RGB cameras are used, each with a specialized computer vision subsystem and are combined with planar LIDAR for 3D localization of fires on multistory building facades. The system conducts aerial firefighting with a software stack that addresses flight dynamics and sensor limitations and a liquid-spraying subsystem incorporating a rigidly-attached water nozzle. The approach presented in this paper was motivated by the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC 2020) firefighting scenario, which focused on coordinated multi-UAV teams that can autonomously combat high-rise building fires. The MBZIRC series places particular emphasis on fast and reliable deployment of robots in realistic conditions. These contests promote development of real-world applications that are greatly needed by society, but which still exceed State-of-the-Art in the robotics community. To our knowledge, our system was the only MBZIRC 2020 contender to extinguish a facade fire successfully in autonomous mode without using an RTK-GNSS system. Our approach contributed to victory in the overall competition and we have now adapted it into an industrial prototype for a firefighting UAV.

In this paper we present an autonomous robotic system for picking, transporting, and precisely placing magnetically graspable objects. Such a system would be especially beneficial for construction tasks where human presence is not possible, e.g. due to chemical or radioactive pollution. The system comprises of two primary components — a wheeled, mobile platform and a manipulator arm. Both are interconnected through an onboard computer and utilize various onboard sensors for estimating the state of the robot and its surroundings. By using efficient processing algorithms, data from the onboard sensors can be used in a feedback loop during all critical operational sections, resulting in a robust system capable of operating on uneven terrain and in environments without access to satellite navigation. System functionality has been proven in Challenge II of the MBZIRC 2020 competition. The Challenge required a ground robot to build an L-shaped structure of colored bricks laid in a predefined pattern. Such a mission incorporates several demanding subchallenges, spanning multiple branches of computerscience, cybernetics, and robotics. Moreover, all the subchallenges had to be performed flawlessly in rapid succession, in order to complete the Challenge successfully. The extreme difficulty of the task was highlighted in the MBZIRC 2020 finals, where our system was among the only two competitors (out of 32) that managed to complete the task in autonomous mode.

In this paper we have analyzed some critical implementation factors of an ERP project implementation in universities and their interdependencies. Taking into consideration that for industry implementations there are already many performed studies we started by considering university implementations as a particular case for the industry ones. Starting from this, we have identified and analyzed differences for the case of universities regarding communication structure, management involvement, organization, implementation team competences, legacy systems, inter-department communication, user training, suppliers/customers' partnership, external consultants. The conclusions of this study are going to be used in developing an evaluation framework of ERP solutions for higher education management.
