Collective strategy for obstacle navigation during cooperative transport by ants.
Group cohesion and consensus have primarily been studied in the context of discrete decisions, but some group tasks require making serial decisions that build on one another. We examine such collective problem solving by studying obstacle navigation during cooperative transport in ants. In cooperative transport, ants work together to move a large object back to their nest. We blocked cooperativ...

متن کاملCooperative transport by ants and robots
In several species of ants, workers cooperate to retrieve large prey. Usually, one ant finds a prey item, tries to move it, and when unsuccessful for some time, recruits nestmates through direct contact or chemical marking. When a group of ants tries to move large prey, the ants change position and alignment until the prey can be moved toward the nest. A robotic implementation of this phenomeno...
متن کاملEmergent oscillations assist obstacle negotiation during ant cooperative transport.
Collective motion by animal groups is affected by internal interactions, external constraints, and the influx of information. A quantitative understanding of how these different factors give rise to different modes of collective motion is, at present, lacking. Here, we study how ants that cooperatively transport a large food item react to an obstacle blocking their path. Combining experiments w...
متن کاملSocially-Mediated Negotiation for Obstacle Avoidance in Collective Transport
In this paper, we present a novel method for performing collective transport in the presence of obstacles. Three robots are physically connected to an object to be transported from a start to a goal location. The task is particularly challenging because the robots have a heterogeneous perception of the environment. In fact, the goal and the obstacles can be perceived only by some of the robots....
