Introduction to Swarm Intelligence
     


Sabu M.
Thampi has posted a very short introduction to Swarm
Intelligence (PDF format). In his paper, he describes the biological
origins of swarm intelligence in flocks of birds, schools of fish, and
swarms of bees. He goes on to describe the importance of swarm
intelligence to robotics, using the computational models of ant colony
optimization (ACO) and particle
swarm optimization (PSO). Pseudo code for the ACO algorithm is
included. CC licensed image of swarming
