Ant and termite collective behavior: Group‐level similarity arising from individual‐level diversity
Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 646-658, September 2024.Ants and termites use different solutions for traveling through suspended open‐air spaces. Abstract Animal collective behavior produces group‐level patterns that emerge from individual‐level interactions among members. Such sophisticated behavioral coordination can be observed across various taxa, indicating evolutionary convergence.

Robust Phototaxis by Harnessing Implicit Communication in Modular Soft Robotic Systems
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 29, July 17, 2024.How soft modular systems can achieve robust phototactic behavior without centralized control and explicit intermodule communication, but only by leveraging basic local rules is explored. The findings illustrate how the physical interactions in such systems can be harnessed to achieve adaptation in complex, dynamic environments, without prior knowledge ...

Towards self‐organizing logistics in transportation: a literature review and typology
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 1309-1374, May 2024.Abstract Deploying self‐organizing systems is a way to cope with the logistics sector's complex, dynamic, and stochastic nature. In such systems, automated decision‐making and decentralized or distributed control structures are combined. Such control structures reduce the complexity of decision‐making, require less computational effort, and are ...

Urban Heritage as Embodied Intelligence: The Adaptive Patterns Model
Urban ScienceUrban heritage structures are most commonly understood as memorial artifacts, tourism assets, or redevelopment resources. While this common view acknowledges cultural and economic value, it overlooks a deeper function of heritage within the long ...

Stigmergic epistemology, stigmergic cognition [PDF]
To know is to cognize, to cognize is to be a culturally bounded, rationality-bounded and environmentally located agent. Knowledge and cognition are thus dual aspects of human sociality.

The multilevel ant stigmergy algorithm for numerical optimization
, 2006 The Multilevel Ant Stigmergy Algorithm (MASA) is a new approach to solving multi-parameter problems based on stigmergy, a type of collective work that can be observed in nature.

Embracing the Creativity of Stigmergy in Social Insects [PDF]
Architectural Design, 2014 In 1959, French biologist Pierre‐Paul Grassé coined the term ‘stigmergy’ to explain the mechanism of spontaneous coordination between agents or actions that leave traces on the environment. Here, Guy Theraulaz, a leading researcher in the field of swarm intelligence and a senior fellow at the of the Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition Animale, part ...

From simple rules to quasi intentionality: emergent coordination and collective cognition
Zagadnienia Filozoficzne w NauceThis article examines whether quasi-intentional organisation characterised by anticipation, adaptation and retention can arise in distributed systems composed of simple agents without global goal representation.
