Optimal Illumination of Arbitrary Rooms Using Genetic Algorithm

Illuminating rooms is something that is taken as for granted. This paper presents an evolutionary method for solving this problem. The paper aims to find a minimalist arrangement of lamps in user-defined or random rooms such that they are optimally lit. Genetic algorithm is used to explore exponential search space of lamps placement and find those that suit the given criteria. Blender is used as a 3-D tool for this experiment. Results show promising arrangements of lamps that can be used in situations that require an emitter of signals in an obstruction filled environment.
