Simulating collective transport of virtual ants
2017
Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds
Preserved Fulltext
1 This paper simulates the behaviour of collective 2 transport where a group of ants transports an 3 object in a cooperative fashion. ...
Our 17 method can reproduce the characteristic strate-18 gies of ants, such as realign and reposition. 19 The simulations show that with the strat-20 egy of reposition, the ants can avoid deadlock 21 scenarios ...
However simu-36 lating the collective transport of virtual ants is a 37 challenging task since it involves a group of in-38 dividuals coordinating in an indirect way. ...
