Description

The ants forage about preys by using pheromone trails. They lay down the pheromone trails between preys and a nest. By detecting the pheromone trail, they can find the preys. Though they do not have excellent intelligence, they can commimicate and cooperate with each other by appending information to the environment. We consider the problem that "How do the swarm robots communicate using the pheromone trail?". We demonstrate the effectiveness of the communication with the pheromone trail by computer simulations and experiments. Prom the simulation results, we can find the effectiveness of the proposed behavior algorithm. In experiments, we set robots, a nest and a prey in the flat test experimental field. We observe robots' behavior and the state of the environment for 20 minutes. The robots laid down the pheromone trail between the nest and the prey, and reinforced it many times. This fact means that swarm robots can realize the function of the chemical, indirect, plastic and local communication like ants by using pheromone trail.
