Emotional Metaheuristics For in-situ Foraging Using Sensor Constrained Robot Swarms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new social animal inspired emotional swarm intelligence technique. This technique is used to solve a variant of the popular collective robots problem called foraging. We show with a simulation study how simple interaction rules based on sensations like hunger and loneliness can lead to globally coherent emergent behavior which allows sensor constrained robots to solve the given problem.

A Network Robot System for Multiple Odor Source Localization using Glowworm Swarm Optimization Algorithm
In this paper we address the problem of multiple odor source localization using mobile robot swarms modelled as network robot systems. These networked robots are used to locate multiple radiation/odor sources like oil spills, leaks in pressurized systems, hazardous plumes/aerosols resulting from nuclear/chemical spills, deepsea hydrothermal vent plumes, fire-origins in forest fires, and hazardo...
متن کاملPortable Sensor Motes as a Distributed Communication Medium for Large Groups of Mobile Robots
We argue for the use of swarms of distributed portable sensors as a support medium for a large number of autonomous mobile robots. Because of the scaling issues inherent in their multiplicity, and because they may operate in broadcast-denied environments, swarm robot architectures often focus on local and “indirect” communication methods such as breadcrumbs, pheromones, or messages left in the ...
متن کاملFormica ex Machina: Ant Swarm Foraging from Physical to Virtual and Back Again
Ants use individual memory and pheromone communication to achieve effective collective foraging. We implement these strategies as distributed search algorithms in robotic swarms. Swarms of simple robots are robust, scalable and capable of exploring for resources in unmapped environments. We test the ability of individual robots and teams of three robots to collect tags distributed at random and...
متن کاملTask Allocation in Foraging Robot Swarms: The Role of Information Sharing
Autonomous task allocation is a desirable feature of robot swarms that collect and deliver items in scenarios where congestion, caused by accumulated items or robots, can temporarily interfere with swarm behaviour. In such settings, self-regulation of workforce can prevent unnecessary energy consumption. We explore two types of self-regulation: nonsocial, where robots become idle upon experienc...
متن کاملA Scalable and Adaptable Multiple-Place Foraging Algorithm for Ant-Inspired Robot Swarms
Individual robots are not effective at exploring large unmapped areas. An alternate approach is to use a swarm of simple robots that work together, rather than a single highly capable robot. The central-place foraging algorithm (CPFA) is effective for coordinating robot swarm search and collection tasks. Robots start at a centrally placed location (nest), explore potential targets in the area w...
