Biogeography-Inspired Multiobjective Optimization and MEMS Design

A new version of the biogeography-based optimization algorithm is proposed in order to consider multiple objectives. In fact, by exploiting non-dominated sorting of habitats, it is possible to approximate Pareto-optimal solutions in the objective space. The optimal shape design of an electrostatic micromotor, which is a benchmark in the Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems design, is considered as the case study.
