A little randomness improves the navigation of robot swarms in crowded environments

  • No comments
Researchers from the United States and the Netherlands have shown that controlled randomness in the movement path of robots reduces traffic jams and improves the rate of task completion, without the need for a powerful central computer or complex coordination.
