In social insect colonies, many tasks are performed by higherorder entities, such as groups and teams whose task solving capacities transcend those of the individual participants. In this paper, we investigate the emergence of such higher-order entities using a colony of up to 12 physical robots. We report on an experimental study in which the robots engage in a range of different activities, i...

Drawing on...

First, a worker is found to put in more effort and improve her performance when she is working with more ...
