Sequence alignment methods often use something called a 'dynamic programming' algorithm. What is dynamic programming and how does it work?

Waltham robotics company Boston Dynamics has teamed up with MIT researchers to develop a new phase-changing material that could allow robots to switch between hard and soft states.

This article presents a dynamic programming algorithm for scheduling, on a single machine, production of multiple items with time-varying deterministic demands. We formulate the scheduling problem ...
