Emergence of Object Shape Information on Multi-Robots' Signal-Transmission

摘要

This paper discusses emergence of object shape information by multi-robots. We found it emerging from signal transition pattern among multi robots by computer simulation study. The robots which contact on an object have a local communication ability. Enough number of robots established signal transmission loop around the object. It was found that the number of robots simultaneously emitting a signal represented the curvature radius around the object shape. We thought it was one of shape information. The characteristics of the shape information were examined with respect to some simulation conditions. Finally, we show conditions for enough classifying of different shape objects.
