Ants combine systematic meandering and correlated random walks when searching for unknown resources

S Popp, A Dornhaus - Iscience, 2023 - cell.com
Animal search movements are typically assumed to be mostly random walks, although non-
random elements may be widespread. We tracked ants (Temnothorax rugatulus) in a large …

Trade-offs of Dynamic Control Structure in Human-swarm Systems

TG Kelly, MD Soorati, KP Zauner… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Swarm robotics is a study of simple robots that exhibit complex behaviour only by interacting
locally with other robots and their environment. The control in swarm robotics is mainly …

Reducing Uncertainty in Collective Perception Using Self-Organizing Hierarchy

A Jamshidpey, M Dorigo, MK Heinrich - Intelligent Computing, 2023 - spj.science.org
In collective perception, agents sample spatial data and use the samples to agree on some
estimate. In this paper, we identify the sources of statistical uncertainty that occur in …
