Mathematical Modelling of Turning Delays in Swarm Robotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the effect of turning delays on the behaviour of groups of differential wheeled robots and show that the group-level behaviour can be described by a transport equation with a suitably incorporated delay. The results of our mathematical analysis are supported by numerical simulations and experiments with E-Puck robots. The experimental quantity we compare to our revised model is the mean time for robots to find the target area in an unknown environment. The transport equation with delay better predicts the mean time to find the target than the standard transport equation without delay.

متن کاملMultiscale Modelling and Analysis of Collective Decision Making in Swarm Robotics
We present a unified approach to describing certain types of collective decision making in swarm robotics that bridges from a microscopic individual-based description to aggregate properties. Our approach encompasses robot swarm experiments, microscopic and probabilistic macroscopic-discrete simulations as well as an analytic mathematical model. Following up on previous work, we identify the sy...
متن کاملSwarm Patterns: Trends and Transformation Tools
The domain of multi-robot systems incorporates research which is inspired by nature. The aim of this research is to design man-made systems which incorporate principles observed in multi-agent natural systems. The mapping of these principles to man-made systems is referred to as biomimetics (Habib et al., 2007) and the area within multi-robot systems that explores this mapping is generally refe...
متن کاملModelling Image Processing with Discrete First-Order Swarms
So far most applications of swarm behaviour in image analysis use swarms as models for optimisation tasks. In our paper, we follow a different philosophy and propose to exploit them as valuable tools for modelling image processing problems. To this end, we consider models of swarming that are individual-based and of first order. We show that a suitable adaptation of the potential forces allows ...
متن کاملModelling Swarm Robotic Systems: A Case Study in Collective Foraging
Understanding the effect of individual parameters on the collective performance of swarm robotic systems in order to design and optimise individual robot behaviours is a significant challenge. This paper presents a probabilistic model of a swarm foraging task. A number of difference equations are derived to describe the probabilistic finite state machine for the task at a macroscopic level. A g...
