Hi, I am looking for a way to optimize my data using optimization algorithms such of PSO, GA, etc etc, Any suggestion or ideas? Thanks

I don't understand your question. Do you look for a ROS package that already includes these algorithms? Otherwise I can imagine it would be very easy to write your own code and include some libraries where the algorithms are already implemented in an efficient way (PCL, OpenCV etc...)

Disclaimer: shameless self-advertising here! I am the main maintainer of http://roboptim.net/ an optimization framework in C++. It is not related to ROS but once your problem is solved writing the input/output as ROS messages is trivial.

Can you give us more details on the problems you'll be solving? Constrained or unconstrained? Linear? Quadratic? Nonlinear? Are you looking for real-time solvers?

Hi! I am going to implement a PSO algorithm for a humanoid robot Nao to learn new behavior with the help of human guidance. Therefore, I will be needing a package that implements the PSO algorithms in ROS.
