collective behavior
About this tag
Discussions on collective behavior at WindowsForum.com explore how swarm intelligence and decentralized coordination emerge in biological and artificial systems. Topics include the apparent intelligence of slime mold through collective decision-making and the use of autonomous flying robot swarms for disaster rescue, inspired by insect colonies. These threads examine how simple agents following local rules produce complex group behaviors, with applications in robotics and communication networks.
Establishing emergency communication networks in disaster-hit areas can often take time, hampering rescue teams in their efforts to save lives.
But a new system of autonomous flying robots being developed at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) could make establishing...
