Pheromone-Driven Robot Swarm

Robot Swarm Simulation

You are now following this Submission

This is the code used to simulate a robot swarm performing a biased or un-biased random walk, with the bias coming from a virtual pheromone deposited by the robots. This pheromone diffuses and evaporates with time. This was used for the article "Efficient Spatial Coverage by a Robot Swarm based on an Ant Foraging Model and the Lévy Distribution" In Springer's Journal of Swarm Intelligence, 2017
