Insect pheromone strategy for the robots coordination — Reaction on loss communication

摘要

This paper represents biologically inspired control strategy for a group of robots. A descripted method was developed to solve exploration and monitoring tasks. The main goal of our work was to develop a simple and powerful algorithm which will accept dynamical changes in the number of robot swarm in line with its mission. This algorithm is suitable for situations where unpredictable conditions may lead to failures in multi-robotics system and the completion of the mission is endangered. In this article we would like to focus on the investigation of the actual characteristics of a simple pheromone based algorithm in a situation where there is a sudden failure in communication.
