Lecture

Distributed Intelligent Systems: Division of Labor and Multi-Robot Coordination

Description

This lecture by the instructor covers the concept of division of labor in natural systems, focusing on social insects. It explains the control of task allocation and the different castes involved. The lecture delves into the behavioral changes in worker bees as they age, the flexibility of social roles, and the implementation of flexibility at the individual level. It also explores threshold-based and market-based algorithms applied to multi-robot coordination, with examples and comparisons. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the control of the division of labor using variable threshold models and the challenges of uncertainty and computation complexity in market-based coordination.
