ANTS with Firefly Communication

چکیده
Autonomous Nano-Technology Swarm (ANTS) from NASA employs numerous, autonomous, l-kg solar sails for surveying and studying asteroids in the Asteroid Belt. There is no convincing work on a simulator that validates the solar sail’s behaviors and weak propellant system in the extreme space environment. Thus, we have developed and verified an Environment Agent (EA) that simulates gravity and light force based on well-understood Newtonian and sound light force equations. Sail Agents (SA) simulate swarm behaviors that are able to turn their reflective surface in four orthogonal directions and produce 3-D maneuvers. The simulator is able to convincingly model key behaviors of SAs. We also provide a model that has the simplest swarm behaviors and unorthodox sensors for testing feasibility of ANTS using EA. The communication is done via on-off light patterns – firefly.

متن کاملMyrmica rubra ants are more communicative when young: Do they need experience?
The role of experience in the development of communication in animals is a matter of special interest to many ethologists and psychologists. Ants are known to possess sophisticated and flexible communication systems based mainly on their antennal movements (Reznikova & Ryabko, 2011). However, it is still enigmatic whether young ants need stimulation performances by adults to develop their commu...
