PARIS: Inspired by the way ants organise and divide their work, scientists have developed a novel method that allows robots to efficiently self-organise their tasks.
Eliseo Ferrante from the University of Leuven in Belgium and colleagues evolved complex robot behaviours using artificial evolution and detailed robotics simulations.
Just like social insects such as ants, bees or termites teams of robots display a self-organised division of labour in which the different robots automatically specialised into carrying out different sub tasks in the group, said researchers.
