Target clamping and cooperative motion control of ant robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Oct 25, 2019
Carpenter ants possess the characteristics of division of labor, communication between individuals, cooperation, and the ability to solve problems. Inspired by the carpenter ant, we designed electromagnetically controlled ant millirobots that can mov...

Designing minimal and scalable insect-inspired multi-locomotion millirobots.

Nature Jul 10, 2019
In ant colonies, collectivity enables division of labour and resources with great scalability. Beyond their intricate social behaviours, individuals of the genus Odontomachus, also known as trap-jaw ants, have developed remarkable multi-locomotion me...

Enhanced Ant Colony Optimization with Dynamic Mutation and Ad Hoc Initialization for Improving the Design of TSK-Type Fuzzy System.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience Jan 15, 2018
This paper proposes an enhanced ant colony optimization with dynamic mutation and ad hoc initialization, ACODM-I, for improving the accuracy of Takagi-Sugeno-Kang- (TSK-) type fuzzy systems design. Instead of the generic initialization usually used i...

Three-dimensional visualization and a deep-learning model reveal complex fungal parasite networks in behaviorally manipulated ants.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Nov 7, 2017
Some microbes possess the ability to adaptively manipulate host behavior. To better understand how such microbial parasites control animal behavior, we examine the cell-level interactions between the species-specific fungal parasite and its carpente...

Ant-inspired density estimation via random walks.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Sep 19, 2017
Many ant species use distributed population density estimation in applications ranging from quorum sensing, to task allocation, to appraisal of enemy colony strength. It has been shown that ants estimate local population density by tracking encounter...

Evolution of Self-Organized Task Specialization in Robot Swarms.

PLoS computational biology Aug 6, 2015
Division of labor is ubiquitous in biological systems, as evidenced by various forms of complex task specialization observed in both animal societies and multicellular organisms. Although clearly adaptive, the way in which division of labor first evo...

ACOustic: A Nature-Inspired Exploration Indicator for Ant Colony Optimization.

TheScientificWorldJournal Mar 30, 2015
A statistical machine learning indicator, ACOustic, is proposed to evaluate the exploration behavior in the iterations of ant colony optimization algorithms. This idea is inspired by the behavior of some parasites in their mimicry to the queens' acou...
