Study of group food retrieval by ants as a model for multi-robot collective transport strategies
2010
Robotics: Science and Systems VI
Group food retrieval in some ant species serves as a useful paradigm for multi-robot collective transport strategies that are decentralized, scalable, and do not require a priori information about the payload. We investigate this phenomenon in Aphaenogaster cockerelli in order to extract the ants' roles during transport, the rules that govern their actions, and the individual forces that they apply to guide a food item to their nest. To measure these forces, we designed and fabricated elastic
