Feedback Control of Evolving Swarms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the effects of proportional-integral control on the fitness and genetics of an evolving swarm. Introducing controllers with a set point designed to distribute birds equally across the food in a given simulation increases the rate at which the birds accumulate energy, but also increases the rate at which they expire. We find that the amount of food the birds gather is not dependent on the force of the feedback controllers but on the quality of information they transmit. The trends we observe can help to understand and improve the results of a wide variety of systems exhibiting swarm dynamics.

Using Haptic Feedback in Human Robotic Swarms Interaction
Robotic swarms display emergent behaviors that are robust to failure of individual robots, although they can not necessarily accomplish complex tasks with these behaviors. The research objective is to make use of their robust behaviors to accomplish complex tasks in many types of environments. For now, it is difficult to affect swarm “goals”, and therefore difficult them to direct to perform co...
متن کاملFault-Tolerant Control of a Nonlinear Process with Input Constraints
A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...
متن کاملPotentials of Evolving Linear Models in Tracking Control Design for Nonlinear Variable Structure Systems
Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...
متن کاملA wearable general-purpose solution for Human-Swarm Interaction
Swarms of robots will revolutionize many industrial applications, from targeted material delivery to precision farming. Controlling the motion and behavior of these swarms presents unique challenges for human operators, who cannot yet effectively convey their highlevel intentions to a group of robots in application. This work proposes a new human-swarm interface based on novel wearable gesture-...
متن کاملControl of Artificial Swarms with DDDAS
A framework for incorporating a swarm intelligent system with the Dynamic Data Driven Application System (DDDAS) is presented. Swarm intelligent systems, or artificial swarms, self-organize into useful emergent structures that are capable of solving complex problems, but are difficult to control and predict. The DDDAS concept utilizes repeated simulations of an executing application to improve ...
