Σύνοψη	Robust Ant Colony Optimization (Robust ACO) extends the classic ant colony metaheuristic by explicitly incorporating parameter uncertainty and worst-case or expected-case robustness criteria into the solution search. Rather than optimizing for a single nominal scenario, it seeks solutions that perform well across a range of plausible problem realizations, making it suitable for real-world combinatorial problems where input data (costs, demands, travel times) are uncertain or variable.	The Robust Genetic Algorithm (RGA) extends standard genetic algorithms to find solutions that perform well not only at the nominal design point but also when subjected to uncertainty in decision variables, parameters, or fitness evaluations. By incorporating explicit robustness measures into selection pressure, RGA balances optimality against sensitivity to perturbation, making it suitable for engineering design, scheduling, and policy optimization under real-world variability.
