Do ants need to estimate the geometrical properties of trail bifurcations to find an efficient route? A swarm robotics test bed.
Interactions between individuals and the structure of their environment play a crucial role in shaping self-organized collective behaviors. Recent studies have shown that ants crossing asymmetrical bifurcations in a network of galleries tend to follow the branch that deviates the least from their in...
