History (past work)
My past research focused on methods for task allocation and division of labour in a group of robots.
At the beginning, I implemented a mechanism for division of labour in a group of robots. The particular algorithm was inspired by ants' foraging behaviour. I studied its characteristics and features in a set of experiments with real robots and in simulation.
The knowledge obtained by this work was used then to compare different solutions to the division-of-labour problem. Different algorithms from the literature were adapted for a prey retrieval task and tested in common and fair environment. The experiments allow us to draw reliable conclusions about which is the most efficient or the most performing algorithm.
