An Ant-like Task Allocation Model for a Swarm of Heterogeneous Robots
This paper addresses the issue of applying decentralised task allocation and task switching mechanisms in heterogeneous groups of robots in order to increase their ability to respond to task demand effectively. Our work is strongly inspired by the behaviour of eusocial insects (typically ants) and their behaviour of switching tasks in order to meet the changing demand. The objective of this pap...
متن کاملTask Allocation in Ant Colonies
In this paper we propose a mathematical model for studying the phenomenon of division of labor in ant colonies. Inside this model we investigate how simple task allocation mechanisms can be used to achieve an optimal division of labor. We believe the proposed model captures the essential biological features of division of labor in ant colonies and is general enough to study a variety of differe...
متن کاملDistributed Task Allocation in Swarms of Robots
This chapter introduces a swarm intelligence-inspired approach for target allocation in large teams of autonomous robots. For this purpose, the Distributed Bees Algorithm (DBA) was proposed and developed by the authors. The algorithm allows decentralized decision-making by the robots based on the locally available information, which is an inherent feature of animal swarms in nature. The algorit...

متن کاملAnt-Inspired Dynamic Task Allocation via Gossiping
We study the distributed task allocation problem in multi-agent systems, where each agent selects a task in such a way that, collectively, they achieve a proper global task allocation. In this paper, inspired by ant colonies, we propose several scalable and efficient algorithms to dynamically allocate the agents as the task demands vary. Similar to ants, in our algorithms, each agent obtains su...
