Introduction to WOSPP: Wave Oriented Swarm Programming Paradigm
share
In this work, we present a programming paradigm allowing the control of swarms with a minimum communication bandwidth in a simple manner, yet allowing the emergence of diverse complex behaviors and autonomy of the swarm. Communication in the proposed paradigm is based on single bit "ping"-signals propagating as information-waves throughout the swarm. We show that even this minimum bandwidth communication between agents suffices for the design of a substantial set of behaviors in the domain of essential behaviors of a collective, including locomotion and self awareness of the swarm.
