Influence of different execution models on patrolling ant behaviors: from agents to robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
Generally, swarm models and algorithms consider synchronous agents, i.e., they act simultaneously. This hypothesis does not fit multi-agent simulators nor robotic systems. In this paper, we consider such issues on a patrolling ant algorithm. We examine how different execution hypotheses influence self-organization capabilities and patrolling performances of this algorithm. We consider the mono and multiagent cases, the synchronism and determinism hypotheses, and the execution of the model with real robots.

RoboCops: A Study of Coordination Algorithms for Autonomous Mobile Robots in Patrolling Missions
Nowadays, the evolution in the robotics field allows to free human beings in a set of tasks, mainly the most monotonous and repetitive or, eventually, with dangerous concerns. One of these tasks is the patrolling task in infrastructures. The development and conception of patrolling methods using mobile robots is a scientific area which has a growing interest. This work focuses on patrolling alg...
متن کاملLearning from demonstration with swarm hierarchies
We present a supervised learning from demonstration system capable of training stateful and recurrent collective behaviors for multiple agents or robots. A model space of this kind is often high-dimensional and consequently may require a large number of samples to learn. Furthermore, the inverse problem posed by emergent macrophenomena among multiple agents presents major challenges to supervis...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...

Abstract Multi-Robot Patrolling is a key feature for various applications related to surveillance and security, and it has been studied from several different perspectives, ranging from techniques that devise optimal off-line strategies to implemented systems. However, still few approaches consider on-line decision techniques that can cope with uncertainty and non-determinism in robot behaviors...
متن کاملAnt Colony Optimization applied to the Multi-Agent Patrolling Problem
Patrolling an environment involves a team of agents whose goal usually consists of continuously visiting its most relevant areas as frequently as possible. For such a task, agents have to coordinate their actions in order to achieve optimal performance. Current research that tackles this complex multi-agent problem usually de nes the environment as a graph, so that a wide range of applications ...
