New protocol enhances robot swarm communication and coordination

Researchers have developed a new stochastic filtering protocol, exttt{ANTk}, to improve quorum sensing in robot swarms communicating anonymously. This protocol addresses the issue of double-counting messages from the same sender, which biases collective estimates. Compared to baseline ( exttt{AN}) and randomized ( exttt{ANT}) variants, exttt{ANTk} successfully reduces temporary errors and stabilizes estimates, though it may increase recovery time from errors.

    Stochastic Filtering for Quorum Sensing in Robot Swarms under Anonymous Communication

    Quorum Sensing (QS) is a key capability for robot swarms, useful for coordination of activities at the group level. Effective communication is instrumental for individuals to estimate the quorum level of the entire swarm. Anonymous communication protocols where individuals exchan…
