The article considers the possibilities of increasing the efficiency of the adapted ant algorithm thanks to the application of algorithms of the variable step of robots. It is shown that the main drawback that slows down the work of the adapted ant algorithm is the repeated checking of cells that are close to the base of the swarm. With the help of computer simulations, it was proved that the most...Show More
This article deals with the problem of improving the navigation efficiency of a swarm of robots controlled by an adapted ant algorithm. It is shown that in the presence of an extensive network of virtual pheromone tracks, the efficiency of a swarm of robots can be reduced due to the formation of closed loops by pheromone tracks, through which robots can wander during their movement to the desired ...Show More
In the work the prospects for using the tandem running algorithm to control a robot swarm is studied. The main advantages and disadvantages of the tandem running algorithm were highlighted, which determine the potential scope of its application. With the help of computer simulations, it was proved that the tandem running algorithm, although it is inferior in speed to the adaptive ant algorithm, al...Show More
