In this paper, we design a bio-inspired patrolling algorithm based on digital pheromone. As events have different importance, we refer to them as having different priorities. In our patrolling schemes, robots efficiently handle as many high priority events as possible. Inspired by the pheromone-based communication among ants, we introduce the concept of digital pheromones and propose a digital pheromone-based patrolling algorithm. Digital pheromones are introduced to denote the priority of an

Simulations demonstrate the impact of robots' patrol speed, speed of robots' handling events, etc. The Third International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks 978-1-4244-9920-5/11/$26.00 ©2011 IEEE
