Additional information
The paper is concerned with the traffic patterns generated by robot swarms commuting to and from the Base station. Using an artificial force field potential constrained by limited robot sensors, the article focuses on modelling and analysing emergent traffic characteristics. A bottom-up approach is used in which group behaviour patterns are related to individual agent designs. Target behaviours are human-driven motorised traffic, which is rigidly structured in two opposing lanes, and the three-lane arrangements adopted by army ants. To this end, robots are imbued with army ant characteristics to investigate the requirements for three lane traffic patterns.
