Cooperation of two different swarms controlled by BEECLUST algorithm

چکیده
In this work we investigate how two autonomous agent swarms, controlled by the BEECLUST algorithm are able to cooperate. The task is to locate two different target areas, which are located near each other. Therefore we developed an individual-based NetLogo model to simulate two different agent swarms moving in a temperature gradient. Both agent swarms are controlled by the BEECLUST algorithm, which is inspired by honeybee behavior. We found out that the two cooperating agent swarms are able to locate the target areas, independent of the ratio of the agents.

How Two Cooperating Robot Swarms Are Affected by Two Conflictive Aggregation Spots
Previous studies showed that two swarms of autonomous robots pursuing two conflicting goals can cooperate efficiently, especially at small swarm sizes. In this study we investigate how the spatial separation of the two conflictive aggregation spots affect the cooperation behaviour. The swarms are controlled by the BEECLUST algorithm, which is a robot control algorithm inspired by honeybee behav...

متن کاملRevisiting BEECLUST: Aggregation of Swarm Robots with Adaptiveness to Different Light Settings
Aggregation is a crucial task in swarm robotics to ensure cooperation. We investigate the task of aggregation on an area specified indirectly by certain environmental features, here it is a light distribution. We extend the original BEECLUST algorithm, that implements an aggregation behavior, to an adaptive variant that automatically adapts to any light conditions. We compare these two control ...
متن کاملCollective Decision Making in a Swarm of Robots: How Robust the BEECLUST Algorithm Performs in Various Conditions
In this paper a honeybee inspired collective-decision-making algorithm called BEECLUST is studied in a swarm of autonomous robots and the performance of the swarm is investigated in different conditions. The algorithm has low requirements thus it is promising for implementation in robots with low resources. Here the algorithm is applied in swarms of improved e-puck robots in three different con...
متن کاملInfluence of a Social Gradient on a Swarm of Agents Controlled by the BEECLUST Algorithm
Agents controlled by a swarm algorithm interact with each other so that they have collective capabilities that a single agent does not have. The bio-inspired swarm-algorithm “BEECLUST” has the aim to aggregate a swarm at the global optimum even if there are several local optima (of the same type) present. But what about gradients produced of different stimulus types? In this paper, we present t...
