Colliding bodies optimization: A novel meta-heuristic method

•A new meta-heuristic algorithm is presented, so-called Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO).•This algorithm is based on one-dimensional collisions between bodies.•The parameter independency is superior characteristics of the CBO algorithm.•The proposed algorithm is very competitive with other state-...
