|A Model of Rescue Task in Swarm Robots System
|03-12-2015
|Liu B, Chen P, Wang G, et. al.
|Chris
|Heavily inspired by the behaviour of ants:<br>
|Working on simulation and literature research
 
|4 hours
It describes a system in which a large swarm of robots moves pieces of "ruin piles" to "free space" communicating - inspired by the workings of an ant colony - by "feromones" which guide the robots to the piles and which decide the probability of a certain robot being assigned to a specific pile.<br>
 
Strongly related<br>
Doesn't seem to consider more than one robot moving the same object so still have to do that ourselves <br>
works much better for very large swarms<br>

|Jesse, Alex, Guus
|Uses the "blackboard" approach to pheromones which is interesting since we probably don't want to use s physical pheromone, but a pheromone approach does seem to be highly applicable to our case<br>
|Aquiring of the robot parts and the assembly of the robot swarm

has a lot of interesting references and also gives some nice details about path-finding using the pheromone approach.

|(referenced by [Liu, Chen, Wang]) It's the description of the behaviour of ants on which the model in [Liu, Cheng, Wang] is based. It also gives optimal choices for pheromones.

Paper itself seems to give more details about how the pheromone concept can be used.<br>
 
Also mentions an other algorithm (Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm) which we might want to check out, and has references to possibly useful Matlab code.
