Development of swarm behavior in artificial learning agents that adapt to different foraging environments
Fig 9
Trajectories of all agents of an ensemble in the last trial of the learning process for (a) dF = 21 and (b) dF = 4.
Ensembles of agents trained to find distant food form aligned swarms (a), whereas agents trained to find nearby food form cohesive, unaligned swarms (b). With the same number of interaction rounds, aligned swarms (a) cover larger distances than cohesive swarms (b). In addition, observe that trajectories in panel (b) spread less than in Fig 8.
