Targeted worker removal reveals a lack of flexibility in brood transport specialisation with no compensatory gain in efficiency

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Laurent Keller, Fazil Emre Uslu

Division of labour is widely thought to increase the task efficiency of eusocial insects. Workers can switch their task to compensate for sudden changes in demand, providing flexible task allocation. In combination with automated tracking technology, we de ...

Robotic manipulation to investigate the physical principles of biological self-organization

Fazil Emre Uslu

Self-organization is the spontaneous formation of ordered patterns and networks from a population of comparatively simple elements or individuals with no prior information on neither the formation process nor the final organization. While the construction ...

Superior visible light-mediated catalytic activity of a novel N-doped, Fe3O4-incorporating MgO nanosheet in presence of PMS: Imidacloprid degradation and implications on simultaneous bacterial inactivation

Stefanos Giannakis, Jérémie Decker

Impressive Imidacloprid (IMD) degradation and bacterial inactivation were attained through the photocatalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) via a novel, N-doped MgO@Fe3O4, under visible light. After complete characterization (XPS, XRD, FT-IR, FE-SE ...

Sensor and the Beast: Generalised Methods to Recognise Animal Behaviour and Quantify Energy Expenditure Using Inertial Sensors, and Applications

Pritish Chakravarty

How an animal allocates time and energy to different activities has repercussions for its survival, fitness, and response to changing environmental conditions. Fine-scale information on animal behaviour and energy expenditure can help develop better inform ...

Uncovering Latent Behaviors in Ant Colonies

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Laurent Keller, Mohamed Kafsi, Raphaël Braunschweig

Many biological systems exhibit collective behaviors that strengthen their adaptability to their environment, compared to more solitary species. Describing these behaviors is challenging yet necessary in order to understand these biological systems. We pro ...

Multilevel Design Understanding: From Specification to Logic Invited Paper

Mathias Soeken

We present an outline of the field of Multilevel Design Understanding by first defining and motivating the related problems, and then describing the key issues which must be addressed in future research. ...

Ant Metaheuristic with Adapted Personalities for the Vehicle Routing Problem

Rémy Glardon, Nicolas Zufferey, Jaime Farres

At each generation of an ant algorithm, each ant builds a solution step by step by adding an element to it. Each choice is based on the greedy force (short term profit or heuristic information) and the trail system (central memory which collects informatio ...

Interest modeling in games: the case of dead reckoning

Kévin Clément Huguenin

In games, the goals and interests of players are key factors in their behavior. However, techniques used by networked games to cope with infrequent updates and message loss, such as dead reckoning, estimate a player's movements based mainly on previous obs ...

Evolution of division of labor in artificial societies

Pawel Lichocki

Natural and artificial societies often divide the workload between specialized members. For example, an ant worker may preferentially perform one of many tasks such as brood rearing, foraging and nest maintenance. A robot from a rescue team may specialize ...
