....emulating the methods of the social insects [17] because nature is showing us how to build decentralized and distributed systems that are autonomous and capable of accomplishing tasks through the interaction of agents with the same structures and pre programmed actions and goals. Kube [12] has pointed out that a careful decomposition of the main problem task into subtasks with action based on local sensorbased perception could generate multi robot coherent behaviours without explicit communication. We have decomposed the total set of organ inlets, assigning for each pair of ....

....foraging and formation marching, box pushing has generally used a combination of centralized planning and con ict resolution with explicit communication between robots to coordinate their actions. In the following sections we describe a series of work, by Kube and Zhang [27 29,31] and Kube [30], consistent in its ant based approach to the problem of cooperative transport by a group of robots. The initial task under study was undirected box pushing, in which a group of robots found a box and pushed it in a direction that was dependent upon the initial con guration. The task evolved ....
