Collective Locomotion
نویسنده
چکیده
We are pursuing a bottom-up exploration of the evolution of behaviours involving collective locomotion of numerous miniature autonomous mobile robots. Collective locomotion is a subset of collective robotics [Bonabeau & Theraulaz 94] which focuses on the specific tasks required to move a group of autonomous agents (e.g. mobile virtual or physical robots) from an origin to a destination. It deals with topics such as navigation, distributed path planning, inter-individual communication, co-operation, auto-organisation, robustness, etc.

The emergence of collective locomotion
Collective locomotion is a ubiquitous feature of the natural world, found in living systems great and small – from migrating skin cells to flocks of starlings. In humans, collective locomotion is one form of interpersonal coordination, a term that encompasses many of the social and cultural activities that define our species. Whereas studies of interpersonal coordination often focus on the sync...
متن کاملLearning Locomotion Gait of Lattice-Based Modular Robots by Demonstration
We explore supervised learning for a collective motion of lattice based modular robots that can access only local information. In our proposed learning algorithm, stable locomotion gaits of small size configurations are given to modules by human demonstration. Support vector machine and regularized least square are used to train the manually data given, and performances are compared. We show ou...
متن کاملForcing contact inhibition of locomotion
Contact inhibition of locomotion drives a variety of biological phenomenon, from cell dispersion to collective cell migration and cancer invasion. New imaging techniques have allowed contact inhibition of locomotion to be visualised in vivo for the first time, helping to elucidate some of the molecules and forces involved in this phenomenon.
متن کاملCollective Design of Robot Locomotion
It has been shown that the collective action of non-experts can compete favorably with an individual expert or an optimization method on a given problem. However, the best method for organizing collective problem solving is still an open question. Using the domain of robotics, we examine whether cooperative search for design strategies is superior to individual search. We use a web-based robot ...
متن کاملPhysics of microswimmers--single particle motion and collective behavior: a review.
Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are only possible due to locomotion. Swimming at the microscale occurs at low Reynolds numbers, where fluid friction and viscosity dominates over inertia. Here, evolution achieved propulsion mechanisms, which overc...
