20163011 Research Ants (The third time is the charm!)

Dorian

• {1} Ants Theory and suggestions how to programm it p.59-64

Esteban

• Java browser simulation of the ant foraging system
• Java browser simulation a bit more sofisticated than the one above
• {2} Article: Ant Foraging Revisited Contains a pseudo-code - Method: - Pheromones: Two types: one to locate the food, other to locate the nest. These pheromones evaporate, diffuse and can coexist in one spot. - Ants Two different states: looking for food, looking for the nest As they move they follow the trail they need depending on current state, while leaving a trail of the other type of pheromone. Depending on the pheromone levels, the ants preferably move to the front positions, if not to the other 5 positions, if not stays quiet.

To do

• Read the article {1} and {2} see above.
• Lars: make report based on articles, and with the presentation if you have time
• General agreements for programming people:
  • Pheromone1 -> So that the ants find the way home (long lasting)
  • Pheromone2 -> So that the ants find food (transient)
  • Ant -> See above
  • Environment -> Terrain[nestPheromone, foodPheromone, food]
