Swarming Robots Avoid Collisions, Traffic Jams

To do this, the algorithm views the ground beneath the robots as a grid. By using technology similar to GPS, each robot is aware of where it sits on the grid. Before making a decision about where to move, each robot uses sensors to communicate with its neighbors, determining whether or not nearby spaces within the grid are vacant or occupied "The robots refuse to move to a spot until that spot is free and until they know that no other robots are moving to that same spot, They are careful and reserve a space ahead of time.” --------------------------- Some more practical applications of this algorithm : Flock Dynamics https://lnkd.in/ffdc6TV VEHICLE TRAFFIC CONTROL NODES Xiaomi to bring ISRO tech NavIC to phones in 2020 https://lnkd.in/eg2aFZ3
