Abstract: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms have proven to be powerful tools for solving path planning problems. Improving the ACO algorithm involves modifying the pheromone update function to ...

The behavior prevents fungal pathogens from spreading through the colony Researchers call it "altruistic disease signaling" that protects the ant superorganism In a rare example of biological altruism ...

This repository implements several swarm optimization algorithms and visualizes them. Implemented algorithms: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Firefly Algorithm (FA), Cuckoo Search (CS), Ant Colony ...

New research shows that terminally ill baby ants tell other ants to kill them, potentially protecting the rest of the colony from their infection. In a study published today in the journal Nature ...

For some would-be ant queens, the easiest way to take over a colony is to dupe its worker ants into committing regicide. The scientist E.O. Wilson once wrote that ants are the most warlike of all ...

A sneaky, stealthy parasite queen can turn an ant colony against itself. Newly-mated queens of two parasitic ant species have been found to sneak into an ant colony, creep towards the resident ant ...

In the field of multi-objective evolutionary optimization, prior studies have largely concentrated on the scalability of objective functions, with relatively less emphasis on the scalability of ...

Step into the shoes of a brave ant in a unique sandbox-style adventure, where nature becomes your battlefield and rebuilding your colony is the ultimate goal. After a devastating enemy attack, the ...
