Σύνοψη	Robust Particle Swarm Optimization (Robust PSO) extends the classical PSO metaheuristic to explicitly account for uncertainty in the objective function, constraints, or decision variables. Rather than optimizing a single nominal objective, each candidate solution is evaluated over a set of uncertainty scenarios, and fitness is judged by a robustness criterion such as worst-case performance or expected value, yielding solutions that remain near-optimal even when conditions deviate from nominal assumptions.	Stochastic Particle Swarm Optimization (Stochastic PSO) is a swarm-intelligence metaheuristic that extends the standard PSO framework by incorporating explicit stochastic elements — random inertia weights, probabilistic velocity resets, or noise injections — to escape local optima and maintain population diversity throughout the search. It is widely applied to continuous, mixed, and noisy optimization problems in engineering, operations research, and simulation-based design.
