Show hintHide hint
Consider how agents position themselves relative to each other.
3Question 3.
What is the primary goal of flocking in swarm robotics?
- To form a rigid structure
- To achieve collective movement
- To separate agents
Show hintHide hint
Think about how birds fly together.
4Question 4.
True or False: In formation control, agents must always rely on a leader.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the autonomy in groups.
Question 5.
Design a swarm robotic system that can perform a search and rescue operation. Explain your task allocation method and why it is the best fit.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the need for negotiation and adaptability in uncertain environments.
Question 6.
Critically evaluate the effectiveness of leader-follower models versus behavior-based formations in unpredictable settings. When would one be preferable over the other?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the need for quick decision-making in changing scenarios.
