Navigation: Many Senses Make Efficient Foraging Paths
نویسندگان
چکیده
Desert ants have a sequence of optimized behaviours that allow them to forage efficiently. Recent work shows that after using navigational memories to reach previously rewarding areas, ants follow long crosswind sweeps that appear adapted for encountering odour plumes.

Adaptive Foraging: Effects of Resource Conditions on Search Paths in a Web-Based Foraging Game
Foraging is a search process common to mobile organisms, and foraging paths commonly exhibit statistical patterns akin to Lévy walks. There may be common factors and benefits underlying these patterns, but investigations are hindered by difficulty in assessing and manipulating search environments and task conditions. In the present study, a simple foraging game was developed to isolate and mani...
متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
متن کاملRational Analyses of Information Foraging on the Web
This article describes rational analyses and cognitive models of Web users developed within information foraging theory. This is done by following the rational analysis methodology of (a) characterizing the problems posed by the environment, (b) developing rational analyses of behavioral solutions to those problems, and (c) developing cognitive models that approach the realization of those solu...
متن کاملMoving in a Crowd: Safe and Efficient Navigation among Heterogeneous Agents
Multi-agent navigation methods typically assume that all agents use the same underlying framework to navigate to their goal while avoiding colliding with each other. However, such assumption does not hold when agents do not know how other agents will move. We address this issue by proposing a Bayesian inference approach where an agent estimates the navigation model and goal of each neighbor, an...
متن کاملContext-Aware Indoor Navigation
Over the past few years, several technological advances have been made to enable locating people in indoor settings, where way finding is something we do on a daily basis. In a similar way as it happened with GPS and today’s popular outdoor navigation systems, indoor navigation is set to become one of the first, truly ubiquitous services that will make our living and working environments intell...
