This scholarship supports a PhD candidate’s project of designing and testing ant-inspired decentralised control algorithms for CRC in an advanced robot swarm.
The project aims are to:
- design algorithms for decentralised control of swarm robot builders, using bio-inspiration from weaver ant behaviour
- test algorithm design and performance in swarm robotics simulation
- implement and finesse algorithm performance in state-of-the-art advanced robot swarm.
