A movie showing a robot
solving a navigation problem with the help of 156 GNATs. The
GNATS solve the navigation problem by communicating with each other
and guide the robot to the goal. The robot is very simple with only
an IR receiver and two bumper sensors. The robots nor the gnats build
any kind of map. Yet with the help of the GNATs it can solve dynamic
navigation problems.
Two more movies (older) showing a robot solving a navigation problem
with the help of GNATs. In both cases the GNAT in the center of the
frame is the goal -- it was informed of this with a button push.
The GNATS solve the navigation problem by communicating with each
other and guide the robot to the goal. Note that the robot has only
an IR receiver -- it has no obstacle sensor and does not build any
kind of map, yet with the help of the GNATs it can solve dynamic
navigation problems.
The GNATs guide a very simple (i.e. Lego!) robot through a
maze (~10x).
