ABSTRACT:
The main goal of this paper is to design nanorobotic agent
communication mechanisms which would yield coordinated swarm behavior.
Precisely we propose a bee-inspired swarm control algorithm that allows
nanorobotic agents communication in order to converge at a specific
target. In this paper, we present experiment to test convergence speed and
quality in a simulated multi-agent deployment in an environment with a single
target. This is done to measure whether the use of our algorithm or random
guess improves efficiency in terms of convergence and quality. The results
attained from the experiments indicated that the use of our algorithm enhance
the coordinated movement of agents towards the target compared to random guess.
