Ant Colony Optimization for Co-operation in Robotic Swarms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The swarm robotic concept has become a topic of extensive research in hazardous environments where a fault tolerant, robust and energy efficient approach is needed. In this paper we present behavior based algorithm for target navigation and swarm distribution over hazardous targets. This work is inspired by ant colony models. Our goal is to derive a heuristic algorithm for target localization and decentralized swarm distribution. Target localization is based on ant colony behavior combined with random walk.

Optimization of Combined Heat and Power Systems using a Hybrid Algorithm of Ant and Bee Colony Optimization
Abstract: In the last few years, due to the development of the new equipment in power systems, challenges have appeared in their planning and operation. One of these issues is the development of combined heat and power (CHP) units. These units have the capability to generate heat and electricity simultaneously according to their limitations. Hence, it is necessary for them to think about the ar...
متن کاملAgent Swarm Optimization: a paradigm to tackle complex problems. Application to Water Distribution System Design
Agent Swarm Optimization (ASO) is a generalization of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) orientated towards distributed artificial intelligence, taking as a base the concept of multi-agent systems. It is aimed at supporting decision-making processes by solving either single or multi-objective optimization problems. ASO offers a common framework for the plurality of co-existent population-based a...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal chemotactic model for ant foraging
In this paper, we present a generic theoretical chemotactic model that accounts for certain emergent behaviors observed in ant foraging. The model does not have many of the constraints and limitations of existing models for ants colony dynamics and takes into account the distinctly different behaviors exhibited in nature by ant foragers in search of food and food ferrying ants. Numerical simula...

In this paper, we show a survey of meta-heuristics algorithms based on grouping of animals by social behavior for the Traveling Salesman Problem, and propose a new classification of meta-heuristics algorithms (not based on swarm intelligence theory) based on grouping of animals: swarm algorithms, schools algorithms, flocks algorithms and herds algorithms: a) The swarm algorithms (inspired by th...
متن کاملAgent-based Problem Solving: The Ant Colonies Metaphor
In this paper the analogy between biological swarms and artificial multiagent systems is pointed out. As an example the steps required to model the artificial optimization technique called Ant Colony Optimization starting from the foraging behaviour of natural ant colonies are explained in detail. During the development of the model the authors use the language of multiagent systems to highligh...
