Simulation

In toplevel simulation some of the process of creating this simulation is described. However, as written at the end of that page, since path finding trough ant colony algorithms needs a graph representation of the world, we've decided to alter our approach and only use an ant colony algorithm for assigning robots to piles. For the path finding we now use a heuristic algorithm.

The entire behaviour of the robots can be described by states as follows: There are three states:

  • Searching
    • The robot tries to go in a straight line
    • Whenever that's not possible it chooses a random direction to go in
    • Whenever a pile is in sight, it is added to the blackboard (if it isn't already on it, or the point that is on it isn't in sight) and the robot goes to the pile
    • Whenever a new element is added to the blackboard all searching robots will re-evaluate whether they want to keep searching or want to go foraging
  • Foraging
    • The robot tries to go in a straight line towards its goal
    • Whenever that's not possible it tries to continue travelling in its previous direction
    • Whenever that's not possible it will choose left or right at random and then take the minimum divergence from the straight line towards its goal in that direction
    • Whenever the pile it is heading for is cleared it decides by chance whether it will go to another pile or go searching
    • If the parameter goalSwitch is set to 2, whenever a pile is in sight, the robot goes to that pile
  • Returning
    • If a local message is received it tries to follow up on that message. If no message is received:
    • The robot tries to go in a straight line towards the Clear Zone
    • Whenever that's not possible choose left or right and go into that direction (deviating from the straight line towards the goal as little as possible)
    • Also send a local message to all near robots that are returning to the CZ to go into that direction

Comment: It would have been better if in the Returning state, as a priority over the random option, the robot would first try to continue in its previous direction, since that would prevent erratic behaviour of going back and forth. This was originally meant (the returning algorithm should mostly be the algorithm for Foraging with a few adjustments for local messages) but reviewing our code, this appears to be missing. We will put a correction of this in our recommendations.

When a robot is at the clear zone (CZ), it drops whatever it is carrying and decides whether it will go searching or foraging. This choice is made by chance and the probability of it going to Foraging is given by the parameter searchChoice, which is a function of both the size of the blackboard (i.e. the number of coordinates in the blackboard) and the total number of robots. We will elaborate our choice for this parameter in the various simulations later in this article.

If a robot is send to go foraging (rescuing), it is assigned a pile from the blackboard by chance. The chance of choosing blackboard element x is given by [math]\displaystyle{ ((\text{the pheromones at }x)\cdot(\text{the treshold depending on the size of the blackboard}))^l \cdot (\text{a function of the distance between the robot and }x) \text{divided by the sum of that expression for all x on the blackboard} }[/math] where the function of the distance the parameter distance2 if the robot is at the CZ, or distance1 otherwise. If the function of the distance is constantly 1, and the treshold is constant in the size of the blackboard, this coincides with the probability in Media:Liu,_Chen,_Wang_-_2013_-_A_Model_of_Rescue_Task_in_Swarm_Robots_System.pdf.

The following code makes up the simulation. Runnable versions and settings files can be found in media:Total_simulation.zip. Note that the doc-strings aren't entirely accurate. This is because we decided that it would be more useful to write the full documentation on this wiki. The easiest way of running both the simulation (with and without graphics) and the script for processing the data is to install a package containing both python 2.7.x and matplotlib and then installing pygame to that. The package we used was anaconda (see https://www.continuum.io/downloads), in which I installed pygame by typing "conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/krisvanneste pygame" (as described in https://anaconda.org/krisvanneste/pygame) into command prompt. If you don't need to see the graphics, you don't have to install pygame (note that I can't guaranty the safety of using the aforementioned method of installing pygame).
