glAnts - an Ant Simulation Game Home Screen Shots Download Design ... Home glAnts - This project is a combination game and simulation that will allow you to interact with simple artificial ants. Once you provoke them, they will send fire ants out to protect the nest. You will be able to use the maze environment to plan or run I finally added some game coding documentation, it is not all in one place but it is a lot of code to play with. Game Programming Src News Description July 1, 2005 - Development notes, updates. It has been a while. I will be providing development notes on an external website, describing this project. This project is lightweight, so you can take this framework to create your own game. Game Development with OpenGL May 26, 2004 - Another AI application Spiritbot Sept 16, 2003 - Updates are going to come very slowly. I am working on other projects and of course my job. Retroevolution.com Oct 1, 2002 - Linux version is available! glAnts Project Page Sept 28, 2002 - Finished the menu, added some misc screens. Fullscreen works. Moving to linux now, wish me luck.

22. About ACO: Behavior Of Real Ants Explanations of what ants are capable of doing along with some ant facts. Features picture diagrams as well. http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mdorigo/ACO/RealAnts.html

Behavior of real ants It is well-known that the main means used by ants to form and maintain the line is a pheromone trail. Ants deposit a certain amount of pheromone while walking, and each ant probabilistically prefers to follow a direction rich in pheromone rather than a poorer one. This elementary behavior of real ants can be used to explain how they can find the shortest path which reconnects a broken line after the sudden appearance of an unexpected obstacle has interrupted the initial path (see next figure). In fact, once the obstacle has appeared, those ants which are just in front of the obstacle cannot continue to follow the pheromone trail and therefore they have to choose between turning right or left. In this situation we can expect half the ants to choose to turn right and the other half to turn left. The very same situation can be found on the other side of the obstacle (see next figure). It is interesting to note that those ants which choose, by chance, the shorter path around the obstacle will more rapidly reconstitute the interrupted pheromone trail compared to those which choose the longer path. Hence, the shorter path will receive a higher amount of pheromone in the time unit and this will in turn cause a higher number of ants to choose the shorter path. Due to this positive feedback (autocatalytic) process, very soon all the ants will choose the shorter path (see next figure). The most interesting aspect of this autocatalytic process is that finding the shortest path around the obstacle seems to be an emergent property of the interaction between the obstacle shape and ants distributed behavior: Although all ants move at approximately the same speed and deposit a pheromone trail at approximately the same rate, it is a fact that it takes longer to contour obstacles on their longer side than on their shorter side which makes the pheromone trail accumulate quicker on the shorter side. It is the ants preference for higher pheromone trail levels which makes this accumulation still quicker on the shorter path.

Email Us From the Same Ant Species, Different Behavior By Louis Jacobson click to view For more than a century, scientists have known that certain species of ants subsist by raiding other ant colonies and turning their offspring into slaves. But researchers have known relatively little about how these "slavemaking" ants actually operate in the wild until now. Joan M. Herbers, a biologist at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, and her laboratory colleague Susanne Foitzik have spent the past few years studying ant colonies near Albany, N.Y., and White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. At each location, Herbers and Foitzik observed one slavemaking species known as Protomognathus americanus as well as the one or two species it enslaved. The enslaved species all belong to the genus Leptothorax.

This page displays the twelve Hymenoptera records currently available within the Entophiles database. Select one of the thumbnail photographs of ants, bees and wasps below to access the descriptive record for this insect. Members of the Order Hymenoptera are charcterized by two pairs of membranous wings, clubbed antennae and chewing mouthparts. A good number possess a contricted "waist" between their thorax and abdomen. Ants, bees and wasps have evolved societal cooperation and are some of the finest natural architects, making extensive use of hexagonal forms.

Retired Robots The Ants: A Community of Microrobots The Ants are a community of cubic-inch microrobots at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab . There are two main goals for this project. The first is to push the limits of microrobotics by integrating many sensors and actuators into a small package. The second is to form a structured robotic community from the interactions of many simple individuals. The inspiration behind this idea comes from nature the ant colony. In order to accomplish these goals, the robots have been equipped with sensors and actuators designed with their natural counterparts in mind. Each robot has 17 sensors including; four light sensors, four IR (infrared) receivers, bump sensors, food sensors, and a tilt sensor. They communicate with each other using two IR emitters, one mounted on the front of the robot and one mounted on the top. There are several levels of social behavior before reaching the goal of the ant colony. Right now, the robots can play Follow the Leader, Tag and Manhunt . Manhunt is similar to tag except there are two teams. The final game before the full-fledged Ant Farm is Capture the Flag. There are many application for robotic communities, including

Ants Formicidae Ants have been acclaimed for their wisdom since ancient times. They stand out at, or near, the peak of invertebrate development, displaying memory, learning, and the ability to correct mistakes. However, these intelligences are trapped inside rigid and programmed behavior patterns. Like human societies, ant communities have their own expertise at the three primary methods of obtaining food: gathering, hunting, and growing. The caste system of ants is believed to have existed for 30 or 40 million years. In North America, there are several species of ants, each of which have a distinct behavior pattern. These include carpenters, dairymen, soldiers, seed collectors, fungus growers, and even thieves and beggars. Home Discover Nature! Natural History Notebooks Comments or Questions?

40. The ANTS Load Balancing System Source code and documentation. http://unthought.net/antsd/

The ANTS Load Balancing System Current version: 0.5.3 - October 20th, 2004 What ? The ANTS Load Balancing System is a piece of software that will allow jobs to be executed on computers connected in a network (eg. a Beowulf). The node best suited (at the time of execution) for the job given, will be chosen to execute the job. This is an approach different from that of traditional Queue systems. A job is not queued, it is executed immediately if any suitable host (for the given job type) can be found. This makes the system suitable for execution of a large number of small jobs, such as compilers. A traditional queue system will often take up too much time managing it's queues, to allow tasks such as large-scale compilations to gain much speedup using it. How and Where ? While I originally built this software in my spare time, it was built for and is further maintained by my employer, Evalesco Systems ApS , the maker of the SysOrb Monitoring System The software is distributed under the terms GNU Public License.
