In the late 80’s,Yukinori Yanagibegan working with ants, creating boxes filled with colored sand to mimic flags of various nations. Into these he would release live ants, who dug into them (like classic ant farms), producing fractures, and even exchanging sand between flags via tubes. Yukin...
understood if thought of as agents exhibiting a collective behavior. Swarms be extended to other similar systems, some examples of swarms in nature are ant colony—agents: ants; flock of birds—agents: birds; traffic—agents: cars; crowd—agents: humans; immune system—agents: cells and ...

map can decide the shortest route between two places, but army ants perform this optimization from the ground, real-time, and with only a few neurons at their disposal. Two simple rules control bridge building behavior, and that might leave some space in the memory banks of some swarm ...
attractors to get the swarm to take the hive. To work properly, these combs must be empty: no pollen containing cells, which could support wax moth larval infestation. And no old leftover granulated honey in the cells, which could attract ants and might cause the scout bees to reject the...

(c) demonstrates that the majority of ants chose the road with the highest pheromone concentration [36]. The probability of travelling from node n to node m is 𝑝(𝑛,𝑚)p(n,m), 𝐼𝑢Iu are the nodes to which the ant is permitted to go from node n, whereas 𝜂(𝑛𝑚)...
