Group navigation and the "many-wrongs principle" in models of animal movement.
Traditional studies of animal navigation over both long and short distances have usually considered the orientation ability of the individual only, without reference to the implications of group membership. However, recent work has suggested that being in a group can significantly improve the ability of an individual to align toward and reach a target direction or point, even when all group mem...
متن کاملCopycat dynamics in leaderless animal group navigation
Background: Many animals are known to have improved navigational efficiency when moving together as a social group. One potential mechanism for social group navigation is known as the ‘many wrongs principle’, where information from many inaccurate compasses is pooled across the group. In order to understand how animal groups may use the many wrongs principle to navigate, it is important to cons...
متن کاملRobot navigation in dense human crowds: Statistical models and experimental studies of human-robot cooperation
We consider the problem of navigating a mobile robot through dense human crowds. We begin by exploring a fundamental impediment to classical motion planning algorithms called the ‘‘freezing robot problem’’: once the environment surpasses a certain level of dynamic complexity, the planner decides that all forward paths are unsafe, and the robot freezes in place (or performs unnecessary maneuvers...

Sir Francis Galton famously demonstrated that, by combining the individual estimates of people guessing the weight of an ox at a country fair, one could arrive at an estimate that was considerably more accurate than any one individual’s guess. He named this effect the ‘vox populi’ and, since then, there have been many other demonstrations of ‘the wisdom of the crowds’ (for an excellent review, ...

With the continuous development of the industrialization process, the countries all over the world gradually appeared lack of agricultural labor force and aging phenomenon, which was especially prominent in developed countries. However the agricultural robot with high operating efficiency, high qualities of work will play an increasingly important role in future agricultural production. Robot n...
