چکیده

In this demo, we show the emergence of Swarm Intelligence in physical robots. We transferred an optimization algorithm which is based on bee-foraging behavior to a robotic swarm with the advantage that this algorithm, and so the actual robots, do not require input of environmental parameters (e.g., pheromones).

Learning and Foraging in Robot-bees

Honey-bees have long served as a model organism for investigating insect navigation and collective behavior: they exhibit division of labor and are an example of insect societies where direct communication between workers enable cooperation in the task of collecting nectar and pollen for the colony. However, honey-bees seem to learn about their environment progressively before becoming foragers...

Sociable Robots through Self-maintained Energy

Research of autonomous mobile robots has mostly emphasized interaction and coordination that are natually inspired from biological behavior of birds, insects, and fish: flocking, foraging, collecting, and sharing. However, most research has been only focused on autonomous behaviors in order to perform robots like animals, whereas it is lacked of determinant to those behaviours: energy. Approach...

Collective Energy Foraging of Robot Swarms and Robot Organisms

Cooperation and competition among stand-alone swarm agents increase collective fitness of the whole system. A principally new kind of collective systems is demonstrated by some bacteria and fungi, when they build symbiotic organisms. Symbiotic life forms emerge new functional and self-developmental capabilities, which allow better survival of swarm agents in different environments. In this pape...

Bee-inspired foraging in an embodied swarm

We show the emergence of Swarm Intelligence in physical robots. We transfer an optimization algorithm which is based on beeforaging behavior to a robotic swarm. In simulation this algorithm has already been shown to be more effective, scalable and adaptive than algorithms inspired by ant foraging. In addition to this advantage, bee-inspired foraging does not require (de-)centralized simulation ...
