A Neural-Endocrine Architecture for Foraging in Swarm Robotic Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the novel use of the Neural-endocrine architecture for swarm robotic systems. We make use of a number of behaviours to give rise to emergent swarm behaviour to allow a swarm of robots to collaborate in the task of foraging. Results show that the architecture is amenable to such a task, with the swarm being able to successfully complete the required task.

A New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
متن کاملProcess-Oriented Subsumption Architectures in Swarm Robotic Systems
Previous work has demonstrated the feasibility of using process-oriented programming to implement simple subsumption architectures for robot control. However, the utility and scalability of process-based subsumption architectures for more complex tasks and those involving multiple robots has not been proven. We report our experience of applying these techniques to the implementation of a standa...
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...
متن کاملNeural Network Sensitivity to Inputs and Weights and its Application to Functional Identification of Robotics Manipulators
Neural networks are applied to the system identification problems using adaptive algorithms for either parameter or functional estimation of dynamic systems. In this paper the neural networks' sensitivity to input values and connections' weights, is studied. The Reduction-Sigmoid-Amplification (RSA) neurons are introduced and four different models of neural network architecture are proposed and...
متن کاملA Model for Foraging Ants, Controlled by Spiking Neural Networks and Double Pheromones
A model of an Ant System where ants are controlled by a spiking neural circuit and a second order pheromone mechanism in a foraging task is presented. A neural circuit is trained for individual ants and subsequently the ants are exposed to a virtual environment where a swarm of ants performed a resource foraging task. The model comprises an associative and unsupervised learning strategy for the...
