BionicANTs Cooperative behaviour based on a natural model Application Note

2022-11-10
●With one eye for detail and the other on the big picture:for the BionicANTs,the Festo engineers have not only taken the deli-cate anatomy of the natural ant as a role model.For the first time, the cooperative behaviour of the creatures has also been transferred to the world of technology using complex control algorithms.
●Like their natural role models,the BionicANTs work together under clear rules. They communicate with each other and coordinate both their actions and movements.Each ant makes its decisions autonomously, but in doing so is always subordinate to the com-mon objective and thereby plays its part towards solving the task in hand.
